    Caps are all politics, your ISP is ripping you off. Caps are not necessary whatsoever, and bandwidth doesn't cost your ISP as much as you think.
    If anything backbone costs are lower than they used to be

    I highly recommend everyone who comprehends this type of stuff to read this article

    I cancelled Netflix all together. Blockbuster seems like a better option.
    Unlimited store exchanges, get new releases 28 days earlier than Netflix and now you can rent games by Mail as well..

    Is VUDU worth while?

    Any body have any experience with it.

    Kinda pricey IMO, but the video quality is pretty good. I tried it once on my PS3 when they had the free movie trial.

    I did the 1 month free trial and it was decent if I was already caught up on shows but awful if I had no clue what had happened in previous seasons. Plus something about having to watch commercials really turns me off to Hulu.

    Vudu has unbelievable quality. I use it exclusively if I want to watch a new release.

    It's too bad, but I've got no problem with it at 8 bucks a month. Starz streaming quality was usually crap anyway. Screw Starz for trying to get us to pay **more** money AND a tiered pricing system. Glad Netflix said no to that.

    Starz is correct that Netflix needs to start tiering their streaming pricing; but for HBO, Showtime or next day network broadcasts; not them.
