This is the end for me too. I've been with them from the beginning, 4 out and later included streaming. For the money I can do without or rent/stream elsewhere.
I too am of the opinion that their streaming catalogue stinks. It's basically only good for when there's zilch on TV and we're tired of watching our own catalogue.

Well, I changed our plan to streaming only. It burns me because they don't offer a lot of content through streaming.
?????? About a fifth of the catalog is streaming.
A fifth = 20%... not a lot.

I can do math. 20% is quite a bit actually. Checked the streaming catalogue of other services lately?

Bastages, I have 4 out and streaming. 50% increase!
I thought the old price was $27.99. The new price is $29.98. $1.99 increase?

Again, I'm confused. Wasn't the old price for 4 unlimited plus streaming only $1.99 less?

I don't understand. None of the plans should see a $20 increase. I thought the biggest jump was $6.
Is there a misunderstanding with the new pricing tiers? Looks like all the DVD plans have gone down a little in price, but streaming has become a $7.99 addition regardless of plan. I'd double check your current rate and then compare it to the new plans to see the exact change in service. The one at a time is the hardest hit by the increase.

No, my total will be $19 something. For years I paid $21 dollars then they lowered it to $16 something. Then it went up again. I reduced to 2 dvd's out at a time and now it's gonna go back up. $20 dollars a month is still a lot less than what I was paying when I abandoned the Blockbuster up the hill. I'm ok with it.

Ah…your total will be nearly $20. Right. I was really confused for a moment.
