Hi – had both a Stan and Netflix account fairly recently, then cancelled both (were not concurrent). Had Netflix for the longest, around 7 months this year. Interest perked up in a possible membership renewal when I found out today you can download a lot of netflix content to phone and tablet.
But won’t be signing up anytime soon……….
Netflix must have crunched all the relevant numbers, but in Australia Netflix offers little (in my opinion) once you have been a member for a quite a while. I find it really hard to find a new tv series I like . As for movies – I wouldn’t call the monthly updated content at Netflix “fresh”. Ok – am now not a netflix member – no need to complain – all are happy – end of story 🙂 BUT if Netflix had better content in Australia, wouldn’t more people sign up or rejoin ?
Back to those “crunchy numbers” 🙂
Its a long debate. The summary of this is it would be great if NETFLIX WOULD GET UNIVERSAL. Well, i pay for Netflix subscription as well as PureVPN to access US Netflix from Australia.
Agreed to you, Netflix must work on similar content library in every country rather than wasting time and energy on banning people using VPNs to access US library that is not their fault they pay similar to US members and get a relatively short content library as of US. Thats the reason I use ExpressVPN https://goo.gl/8iJZfP which is still working to let me access the US stuff. if Netflix wants me to stop bring the same library to UK as well. period
In recently testing out various DNS spoofing methods for accessing the US Netflix library I saw first hand how much more stuff is on there than is on the Australian version and oh btw…for the same $$.
Really now I just want to unsubscribe. My kids watch some crappy tween series or two and I will watch for a week to see something like the Expanse series but then realise that I am going to have to wait what 3 months for something else.
Think I will get my Mythbox up and running again and just watch recorded FTA.
