It's hard to imagine how that was ever gonna be sustainable, but hitting your customer base the way they have done is just stupid also... |

Yes but the US consumer is pretty cash strapped so such a hike is un justified. I am surprised it is not more. Though I suspect that customers will pick one service rather than pay for both. Though if they give up the streaming I suspect that many will be giving up broadband as well. Without a reason for broadband people will switch to cheaper access. |

Yes the studios are blaming them for their problems, but the studios release them too quickly. Years ago it used to be three years before terrestrial viewers could see a film. Though that period is getting shorter and shorter and it is impinging on DVD sales and premium movie channels. Though considering that Sky will repeat a film endlessly each month means that it could be impacting DVD sales. The problem is that US consumers are seriously squeezed financially and such services are considered a luxury. |

They must have known their customer loyalty was fickle at best. Especially these days
