lack of customer notification on price increases

I wanted a refund for the overcharges. He said they would not provide a refund. He also stated an email was sent to me notifying me of the price increases. When I advised him that I never received an email he stated “it probably went to your spam box because that is where his went."

Cancelled... sorry Netflix, $7.99 for one DVD at a time is too much! We were happy with $1.99, but you were not, so we'll stick with $1.00 per night rentals at Redbox thank you!

I canceled my subscritpion...

We experience rate increases with various services all the time, but NEVER a 60% increase.  If more people cancel their subcriptions, Netflix will get the hint that we will not be taken advantage of!

Just my thoughts...

In general, I like Netflix and have been with them for +5 years. I would be willing to pay about 20 a month if their movie and series contracts were up to date, and the production companies would give them speedier access to new,or even semi-new releases, however, I do not anticipate the production companies doing that when they can milk the public directly first. Even if they got faster updates on weekly series shows from local networks (like talk shows) that would be better. Either way their increase in charges is not related to increased production company pricing (according to them) so, we (the customer) are asked to pay more for an already antiquated show library, and aging infrastructure.... Mostly, I don't like it when I am watching a series, and you watch 12 episodes of 15 lets say, and the last 3 episodes are on DVD only. With their new plan, I will have to have both DVD & streaming in order to see a whole series. Not to mention wait on DVD mailings to finalize a series, which defeats the instant streaming purpose anyway. I feel like it is strictly their [NF] choice to arrange it this way, because if they have a contract allowing the instant stream of a series, that contact is for the whole series, not just episodes 1-12 in the contract for streaming, and the 13-15 on DVD. I call NF about 2-3 times a month for streaming issues and they usually try to pin it on my DSL service, or my Roku box. I get 6Mbps (megabits) and I have a XD/S box. My services are only dysfunctional when it comes to NF service. No others. Hmmm,...so it MUST be my DSL or my box,..huh?
In addition, and as we all know, the movies and shows are either older, or not currently updated (series), and I can find most content on the net, it's just not located in one easy library like on NF. In my mind, the only reason for using Netflix is the packaged convenience of location, and that is obviously becoming less available with NF...they are now wanting to charge us more for their increasing inconvenience.. Just my thoughts. We are canceling.

Sorry but i disagree. I would rather pay netflix $24 a month than what I paying for cable. Netflix at least is worth it.

Way to treat good clients Netflix!!

I can't belive they feel it is ok to upcharge existing customers. At least give us a bit of a deal!!

Everyone should leave Netflix by Sept 1st and get on the Red Box wagon!!

Price increase for??....

Unless netfix has been paying people to watch their movies...it does not make any sense how they could mistake a 50%+ increase in price for over two years.  I truely hope they read sites like this.
