So there has been a lot of talk recently about the downfall of net neutrality here in the US and I must say that Consumers are already feeling the effect of its fall.

I don't really see how this is because of the recent net neutrality ruling. It looks like they said the extra cost was to cover the cost of adding more movies and TV shows.

Or maybe they are bumping up the price now that their competitors movie Gallery, block buster, and any other video stores are wiped out.

You shouldn't have to pay for netflix because you missed an episode.. That's my opinion at least.

You can even watch some of the shows online on the channel's official website. Cable bill might cost more than netflix though..

Something like this would just bring more pirates I guess..

I like how shows like the Daily Show and the Colbert Report allow you to watch full episodes online and all you need is a US IP.
