For selection i'd go with Netflix. If you rent too many, both of them "throttle" your queue. I've been with both and during the trial periods they are both quick. After that, they start to slow down and eventually they come to a crawl. I just go to my local BB now and have the movie pass. I usually make about 7-15 trips per week

get FTA - free to air. over 2,000 channels. PPV and $$$$$$. just buy the reciever anywhere from $130-$180 and satellite dish. you get instructions on how to set it up online. its free service. it basically picks up dish network and other satellite signals. i dont think its illegal...

Mine too!
I have the cheap-o $9.99 Blockbuster plan and it was really fast shipping and receiving (watch the movie the night when it came in the mail and mailed it back the very next day). Now it has slowed down to a crawl now...
This article explains why it slows down...
