netflix

[Raymond House]

I agree, I always check here first, I got so much help here through the
years. BTW I cancelled with Netflix once before I had enough data speed and
volume and it's a piece of cake, one click and it's done, you have month to
decide at no cost.I returned with them when my system was up to speed and
no problem there, no hastle !
