[AusNOG] Netflix Peering in AU

[Robert Hudson]

That only works until people get bored with the content.

If you don't have kids, a massive proportion of the content is simply not
interesting (I have kids, and a large proportion of the kids stuff isn't
interesting).

Take movies out of it (there's no new ones, most of the ones that are there
I've either seen and have no desire to watch again, or just have no desire
to watch even a first time), and the range of TV shows is quite limited -
certainly 90% of the stuff I was hoping to see on it isn't there.

I think I'll get a month out of it - which happens to be the free trial
month.  Beyond that...
