Whatever service you currently have. Vote based on how much more you would be willing to pay for the current service you have.

If you get a deal or free netflix for a promotion vote based on how much more qould have to be added to your bill to make you cancel for good.

20 bucks and I'll cancel and re-sub every 6 months and get caught up and cancel again. 

Amazon has more interesting content now anyways imo.

 
I voted $21+. It's become such a staple in our lives even if only for the ability to throw on one of the usual comedies we like to watch while going to sleep and letting a few of those burn. At some $ point we'd probably just rely on Hulu etc but the more likely reason we'd drop it is if a lot of the catalog is dropped.

 
I'd agree that $20 would probably be my breaking point.  Once my kids are gone, I might drop it anyway.  Between Netflix, Amazon and DTV, there is more I want to watch than I have time for.  I'm wasting money.  I believe I also get a free Hulu subscription through my cell phone, but I haven't bothered to look into setting it up because I'm never really at a loss for something to watch.

I'd cancel now, but my boys would kill me if they can't watch the Office on demdnd.

 
currently $10.99, increase takes me to $13.99 so I voted 8-10 more which puts me about $20 per month range. i think that would be the max for me. Depends on what it looks like, what shows are there/not there, 2-3 years from now when I have to worry about it. Might change my mind.

 
I pay 64 bucks for psvue.  It includes a dvr and all local channels plus 5 logins.  I can go 12 to 15 on nexflix and feel good.  Got prime too.  And Cinema.

 
This poll is great market research for Netflix to figure out their next price increase...just saying...

 
$20 is my breaking point on Netflix. Think I'm around $15 right now. 

Here is the thing, we're still 5-10 years out from a complete a la carte menu. Right now, a good portion of us still have a cable subscription and supplement it with a service like Netflix, when everything turns into an a la carte type subscription service, think it'll be a different game. 

Most people aren't going to be using 11 services at $20 a piece, might as well subscribe to cable. That's when I think their business will face real pressures.

We watch much more HBO Now and Hulu than Netflix these days. Netflix pumps out too much junk to sort though.

 
I'm dumping sometime in Feb/March to pick HBO up for Game of Thrones.  We'll pick up Netflix again to watch what we've backburnered (Kimmy Schmidt/Marvel shows etc.) just in the time for Stranger Things.  

We're going to keep dropping/adding as long as they allow us.

This. 

There is way too much to watch it all

 
If Netflix would offer live TV with local channels similar to YoutubeTV or Sling, I'd be all over it, up to maybe 30 a month. Without live my limit is 20 and I'll jump to the first company that gives me both options together.

 
Been keeping it for the kids but they barely even watch anymore. Might think about dropping it.

 
I'll probably rotate to HBO soon and then the Disney service. I have Hulu and prime. With Netflix losing marvel I'm probably out soon regardless.

 
I’m thinking of dropping Netflix. I watch Amazon and Hulu way more, and it’s basically just there for Stranger Things now. If Hulu gave me the option to DL shows to my IPad for travel, I’d probably, drop Netflix. For $10, I’ll just keep it. It’s a couple of cups of coffee. Once we go above that, it bothers me to pay it when I’m not using it.  There’s that pendulum of who cares, it’s $10 vs why am I spending $15 on something I don’t use at all?

 
As it is, maybe a few dollars more.  I am going to have to re-evaluate in a few months though after I see what Disney has to offer.   In the spring I will probably be doing the Criterion streaming and hop on to HBO to finish up GOT, and I am not going to be paying for 5-6 services.  I like somebody else's idea of hopping off an on once some shows build up.  I get Hulu free and that is what my son seems to watch more of, and my wife doesn't watch much at all.     I am way more into movies, and between the 3 services I have I have been pretty disappointed in the options on that front and have still been supplementing from my other routes - library, redbox.

Probably more of a question for the streaming thread, but what do you watch on Amazon?  So far it's my least favorite of the 3, and I can't remember the last time I poked around on it.

I know you weren't asking me but I watched Jack Ryan and nothing else really interests me.

Same, unless it changes thinking about telling the older one (he's the only one that regularly uses it) to get caught up before summer then pull the plug.  If they aren't watching in winter then they aren't going to watch when the weather's nicer.

 
I will definitely be reevaluating things once programming changes and/or the next price increase. 

Currently, we have 3 kids (one teen and two young kids 3 and 6 years old) plus my wife and me.  I have DirecTV but the only real TV we watch is live sports and it's basically soccer at this point and baseball when the season starts.  I mean, we'll occasionally throw on the news or the cooking channel or watch some Family Feud or something but nothing that ties me in.  I think my days with DirecTV are numbered but I also have a hard time just completely getting rid of it.  As long as I can get the soccer that I currently get with NBC Sports and FS1/FS2 and then our local Fox Sports Midwest, which I know is available, then nothing else is really keeping me there.

I have Hulu for free with Sprint but never use it.  Haven't really gone through the programming.

I have Amazon with our Prime membership but have only used it for a few shows.  It seems most everything I've ever searched for isn't included in Prime and I have to pay separately for which has turned me off. 

Almost all the TV we watch now is Netflix and it's almost all series with occasional movies mixed in.  The young ones will watch various kids shows or movies but definitely enough content for them right now, especially since they don't mind watching things over and over and over. 

If Amazon/Hulu offer up enough series for us to get into as well as enough stuff for the kids, then I can see giving up Netflix but I doubt that will happen.  We tend to like drama series (especially British or other foreign dramas) and that seems to be a Netflix specialty.   But, to be fair, I haven't delved that much into Hulu/Amazon looking for these things since Netflix still gives me what I need there.
