Netflix here we go again.

Physical product, commercial property rents, staff costs, utility costs, distribution, etc etc etc.

It just doesn't make sense that streaming costs as much as it does.

I would like new tier based on how much you use the service - say, a cheaper tier for up to 40 hours of content per month, then up to 100, then an unlimited. Thing is, that helps the consumer, not the business.

Bandwidth and storage isn't cheap, they still have building and staff costs,they also pay for their own productions. I'd say combined those costs well outstrip the costs of just needing buildings full of VHS/DVDs other companies paid to make.

I'm not saying I agree with all these price hikes but I don't think it's a simple comparison to the old days

Sky is going up 6.2% and due to a loophole they're exploiting you can't use it to quit mid contract either

Lucky for me am not mid contract as i had sky since the mid to late 80's
