re: Netflix is increasing pricing again

yeah, i'm ok with the 13.99. that's still reasonably priced for all of the content.
i was wondering what my threshold was, price wise, that would make me really think hard about cancelling, and I'm not sure. Maybe north of $20? But then again it's only 20 bucks, but when you factor in all of the media services people routinely pay for monthly (netflix, cable/internet, spotify, amazon prime, etc.) it starts to add up.

HBO is $15 and the gold standard of premium channels. I think they'd run into a lot of resistance if they priced themselves higher than HBO.
Even HBO has a lot of part time subscribers, so if they increase the price too much they'd probably see more subscribers switching to part time than leaving completely.

If there was a bundle where I could just get Netflix, WatchESPN and/or FoxSportsGo, I'd be all over that.
I'd pay $30-35/month for that.
And I know people will say, well you can get cable with your internet provider more than likely for $20 more a month and have espn and foxsports and much more. Well the issue with that is I have more than 1 tv, so when I have to start renting 6 HD boxes at $5-8/month each, it's no longer $20/month. And also, I only care about maybe 5 of the 250 channels you offer.
I already purchased my "cable box" I have an android tv, 3 rokus and 2 firetvs. If Cox or Time Warner or whatever cable company would simply offer their cable services through those streaming boxes with their own apps instead of having to rent their boxes, i'd have cable with them. Hell they don't even need an app. Just let me pay you to have a login for all the other apps. I'll pay $15/month and you give me a cable login so I can log into the apps for WatchESPN, FoxSports, NBCSports, ABC, NBC, Fox, DisneyJr, NickJr, TNT, etc. I'll use your internet, you give me access to standalone apps using my cable provider log in.
