Netflixhelps on Twitter Reports Website Access Problems for Some Customers
Netflixhelps on Twitter reports that "We are aware that some customers may not be able to reach the Netflix website. We are working on getting the website back up and running as quickly as possible." Are you having trouble accessing the Netflix website?
I am lucky in that I dont pay for cable.
I tried to...when I moved in many years ago. The cable company told me the house I bought didnt exist when I tried to have it turned on. I asked them to figure it out and call me back. Im still waiting.
As luck would have it, basic cable was already on in my house so I didnt bother having to call & ask them again.
All that being said, I watch TV, all TV less than 10 hours a month.
So I would have to think long & hard about if $25-35 per month would be worth it to me.
Netflix/Roku is clearly a better value but for me, its not about one or the other.
Those that have no intention of cutting the cord would probably value netflix less.
I still think Netflix is going to dramatically increase its price in the next few years knowing that they will get a good number of cancellations but figuring they will profit more from the higher price.

Wonder if this has anything to do with the outage where I had to try and register a half dozen times using new passwords until I gave up ?
I just use my Roku. And I have my desktop although I don't watch from it anymore.
