(world wide there was a couple million uptick)

How does this work? I have Netflix and I use it at my house, when I housesit and at my mom's old house. They may all be available on all of them at - jnine Apr 19, 06:58 8
- Here is how they are doing it in Canada - decline Apr 19, 07:21 5
  - So, I won't be able to use it because I can't log into my wifi from my mom's old house, which is actually mine now. That sucks. -- nm - jnine Apr 19, 07:49 3
    - are you there for over a month at a time? if you are there for less than that, it won't matter. -- nm - Andie Apr 19, 07:54 2
      - Not usually I was there for 6 weeks in a row last year. -- nm - jnine Apr 19, 07:59 1
        
        Best case scenario, if you know you'll be there for over a month you can switch your primary on netflix to there. Worst case, you'll need to pay extra - decline Apr 19, 08:06
  - yeah, you have to connect to your home wifi monthly, on all devices that will use the account. -- nm - Andie Apr 19, 07:24
- I would imagine they look for simultaneous streams, or streams at locations that are WAY too far apart. -- nm* - loosilu Apr 19, 07:01 1
  - These locations are over 509 miles away from each other. -- nm - jnine Apr 19, 07:03
Also Netflix, They are increasing the streaming quality of the 'Basic with ads' Plan to 1080p (from 720) -- nm - decline Apr 19, 06:55
i assume this will also crack down on people using a VPN to get shows available in other countries, yes? -- nm - colin Apr 19, 06:29
