I do

Shared with a mate, we can have our own "profiles".

It is not necessarily up to date; think Blockbuster rather than cinema in terms of film releases. It has a lot of series. The major downside is that sometimes series(es?) get pulled with no notice, I'm assuming for contractual reasons.

I've found it reliable and it works reasonably well on my new, slower connection. It also works very well with the Chromecast/smartphone. And their livechat customer service is nearly as good as Plusnet's

Can't comment on the cost!

Did you have particular questions or concerns?

I'm tempted, for House of Cards, alone. (And I don't even have sheep!)

I tried it for a month and wasn't overly impressed. Easier if you're using it on a PC but trying to find HD content from my Andriod box or table was really hard work. I didn't continue with my subscription.

We've used it for over a year now. Finding a film to watch is hard now as we've seen all the ones we're interested in. The TV series are another thing though: Currently 2/3 of the way through Ashes to Ashes having watched all of Life on Mars earlier in the year Give it a go, there should be a free month offer somewhere...

I'll be doing it via the wii. It would be more old content I'd be interested in than new. We've done Love film by post since it started up. They then added in Love film instant at the same cost which BW liked. But now they've taken the streaming facility out and added it in with Amazon prime. I'd really rather not pay Amazon any more than necessary so thought I might look at Netflix.

We gave Netfilx's a go after cancelling our Love Film subscription because we were sick of getting faulty disks from them.

Yeah, I can imagine. Especially if everyone else was trying to eat at the time.

Yes. That is a factor too.
