yes I did read that-and yes I must admit were one of those customers that are being throttled.  Why?  Because we return the movies as fast as we watch them.  :(  Yet we really have no plans to cancel right now.  Yes it bites that for the new releases we get throw to the back of the line and yes we do have shipping delays as well for some of our movies.  However, at 19.57 a month for 10-13 movies and no late fees is a great bargin for us since we on a limited income.  It equals out still to about $1.00-$1.50 per movie.  Which is a great bargin since we can take our time watching it once we get it and don't have to worry about late fees.  Before Netflix, we'd watch maybe 4 or 5 movies a month and pay at least $25-30 a month in rentals and late fees because we forgot to return them until a day after they were due.  So for now, until something bigger better and badder comes along, were keeping netflix.  Blockbuster? well...I wasn't to impressed with them and still am not.

I read the article too...and felt the same way that bubblegum felt.......We have TONS of stuff on our queues on both Netflix and Blockbuster so even if we don't get the newer things as quickly as we'd like we've still got tons of stuff coming....plus now BB gives us 4 free rentals, one a week........I'm still hooked on the fact that it's way cheaper and so much more easier than trying to fight the lines at the BB store to get movies for the weekend.

I am a Blockbuster user and I love the movies they send me and they are faster than Netflix. :)
