My mother is homebound and uses Netflix. She's been complaining lately about the moview she's been receiving. Maybe this is what's happening with her account.
Really doesn't make a lot of sense because if people get dissatisfied, they'll just switch to a different service. I noticed Blockbuster has started a similar service.
Exactly, ain't America grand! I've done the same with my ISP.
There are far more INFREQUENT renters than frequent renters... to refuse delivery to infrequent renters of hot movies, because folks are renting 3 every day have them would alienate a LOT more people.
This can also be handled by heavily frequent renters picking less popular or newer movies... I highly doubt if you want Casablanca, something Anime or an art film, that you are going to see your order get throttled... Of course if your rent requests are always the newest releases... you will.
