  1. If used regularly, Netflix is much cheaper than brick-and-mortar. Thus, Netflix is cost-effective. Slightly different than "Keeps me within my budget."

  5. The vast majority of Netflix subscribers receive rapid turnaround, of 1-2 days delivery time. Only a tiny, vocal minority are experiencing any significant restrictions on their usage, and that is due to their excessive utilization of the service. Yes, the stories of "throttling" are true, but overblown.
