ever heard of throttling..well..maybe you've heard the term 'fair share'...read on..

Frequent Netflix renters sent to back of the line
The more you use, the slower the service, some customers realize.

SAN FRANCISCO - Manuel Villanueva realizes he has been getting a pretty good deal since he signed up for Netflix Inc.'s online DVD rental service 2 1/2 years ago, but he still feels shortchanged.
That's because the $17.99 monthly fee that he pays to rent up to three DVDs at a time would amount to an even bigger bargain if the company didn't penalize him for returning his movies so quickly.

what crap...just because he is a frequent renter..and there is nothing in the contract about a limit to the number of movies he can rent.. they do this to him..

there should be a class action lawsuit against Netflix for discrimination...

Good thing i don't use these guys..not sure if BlockBuster does this though
