The world is moving toward streaming video. Although I get a few movies here and there from Netflix I mainly have them for what I can watch through my Roku box.

Most all the good movies are DVD only, I dont request discs unless they are seasons/series. Im usually watching the garbage they have online. If they take the DVD's and make the movies online great. If not they suck balls, and If it werent that Im in the middle of watching the pacific I would have already ditched those spermburpers.

I was staying at the Hyatt in San Antonio and called to complain about the painfully slow Internet connection I was being charged $12/ day for and the IT guy told me he would boot anyone offline he saw was streaming video (I was trying to stream video form Netflix at the time).

It seems even in 2011 a lot of places don't have bandwidth to support streaming videos.

The only time anyone tried to charge me for net was about 2 yrs ago in Va, I told them I had never been charged anywhere else and they waived it. I think they just try to fish people, I would have paid it I just wanted them to know. I have been all over the country and a few other countries as well and that was the only time.
