We just get adsl/8Mb & no-mobile ... but it's nice to see Sony handing it to the man

plus like disney/hbo monetizing their valuable content, vertical integration, netflix will find it stripped of the films most people want to watch,
the comparatively large disney monthly cost, already reflects that their content is more valuable.?
 
I'm not paying that much for Full Fat Netflix via Sky, think I'm paying around £5/month. My Sky bill will go up at some point this year, they always do - but as long as I'm with Sky I'll probably continue with Netflix regardless.
They do need to justify the price increase, cannot say there has been much "stunning" content over the past 12-18 months that could warrant the price increase.
 
These streaming services only make sense to me while we can account share to bring down the cost, if that ends then the majority will be cancelled.

Netflix, Prime, Disney+, Apple TV, Now TV etc etc it all gets way too expensive if I were paying full price for each of them and tbh we don't really watch them that much so once the cheap deals end they are gone.
 
I've just signed up to Netflix having used a friend's login for some time.

IMHO £9.99 is a complete bargain. Compare this to the TV license or sky/cable and they are not in the same league as Netflix.

If Netflix want to maximise profits (read: stop piracy) they really should try to address 'borrowed' logins.
 
Happy if it indeed means more original content. They have some of the best shows going at the minute.
Queens Gambit, The Crown, Cobra Kai, Bridgerton, Star Trek.....list goes on
 
usa netflix favourites - not the demographic i expected ...GBBO's a success there too

The Queen’s Gambit came in a distant second place but it still generated almost 1.1 billion minutes of total viewing, which Nielsen said confirms it as “among the most popular new originals introduced this year.” On a global basis, Netflix has already proclaimed it as its most-watched original scripted limited series.

The Mandalorian dropped a spot to No. 4 from the previous week, but viewing for the Disney+ show has remained steady. Unlike Netflix shows, Disney releases one new episode per week. Once again, the Star Wars spinoff is the lone non-Netflix title on the chart.

Another notable new entrant was The Boss Baby: Back in Business in the No. 9 spot. The Netflix release added a new season and Nielsen reported an interesting dichotomy with the kids animated series and The Crown. Two-thirds of viewers of Boss Baby are kids between 2 and 11 years old, while the show drew a low single-digit number of viewers aged 55 and older. Conversely, nearly two-thirds of The Crown‘s viewers are 55 and older, while a low single-digit percentage is aged 2 to 11.

The contrast speaks to Netflix’s programming strategy, which is not necessarily to create a singular juggernaut watched by everyone, as linear networks have sought to do, but rather a mosaic of titles for various tastes and demographics around the world.

Here is the full list, with number of episodes and total minutes of viewing:

The Crown (40, 3.358 billion)

The Queen’s Gambit (7, 1.092 billion)

The Office (192, 1,067 billion)

The Mandalorian (12, 939 million)

Schitt’s Creek (80, 733 million)

Grey’s Anatomy (363, 731 million)

Great British Baking Show (64, 645 million)

Criminal Minds (277, 560 million)

The Boss Baby: Back in Business (49, 509 million)

NCIS (353, 468 million)

At £6, i found Disney a good alternative to buying all marvel films im uhd.

£2 extra isn't much

At £12, i found netflix and its uhd (and general content) decent value

£2 extra isn't much

And while it may not be much, i have cancelled Disney and am seriously considering lowest cost option for netflix, Ed as feels like quality dropped.

All these subscriptions add up. I have others as well. Just starts getting too much.
 
I've been a subscriber for years now, but it's reaching a threshold for me. I've already binned Amazon Prime off this year.

The old ways could start to make a come back.

I have prime for delivery. Prime video used to be a nice bonus, but find its content lacking more as time passes. So much moving to all channels, which i refuse to sub to.

Same with their music. Used to find it excellent, but now most behind unlimited.

I have resorted to building up my horror collection on on disc recently, because I find all providers suck these days in that genre.

Actually going back to disc for other stuff too due to some awful quality streams. Tried watching game of thrones on prime? Dark scenes are disgustingly bad.
