I wasn't upset about the stream failing.

I was upset at their piss poor attempt at blaming us, the customer.

They literally created a splash screen telling customers to restart our TV because our Internet speed was 0mbps (no signal).

Of course, ANY OTHER PROGRAM on Netflix would stream just fine.

They blatantly lied to us and expected us to believe it.

I cancelled the very next day and wrote "don't lie to your customers, we aren't stupid. Or if you insist next time, remember to remove access to all the other shows, idiots."

I find it funny that this was the last straw for some, but not the continuing increase in price and the bs password sharing “crackdown”.

I found a way around the password sharing issue and the price increase wasn't going to bankrupt me.

Technically it's a workaround.

Occasionally my girlfriend and I would want to watch a show together, myself at my home and her at hers.

She would load Netflix, load the show (start the movie).

Then I would load Netflix and sign in. As long as the person currently on (girlfriend) doesn't start a new show they won't get kicked off.

Later I would just let her stay signed into Netflix on her Xbox.

When I wanted to watch I would select "I'm traveling" on my Xbox.

No issues for either of us that way.
