Two or four euros per month. Call the army! I would start a class action suite. /s This stupid selfish attitude is not helping. Netflix will probably issue a statement that they will refund all those affected. And if you don't like it, downgrade! You probably have plenty of time if this is an issue for you.

What I am telling here is, if you are unable to meet the criteria that you are getting paid for, then you need to refund the difference. They are not doing that. It is not about being selfish here, think more about it.

  It's quite sad to see such an attitude in these difficult times.

    It's not like Netflix is struggling though this pandemic. Their subscriber numbers are probably skyrocketing right now. Saying "Internet infrastructure can't handle the current load, we have to restrict service" is fine, but you would expect them to do right by the customer. Not announce the cuts via national news outlets, see how much backlash they get and then decide if they should make concessions to their paying customers.

    well it's sad for people to be in favor of netflix. as others pointed out, netflix will probably make a huge amount of money within the timeframe of the virus. thus reducing the quality for people that PAY for that quality without reducing their invoice is basically a scam. especially because of the pandemic people are short on money. of course people could just downgrade their subscription, unfortunatly some people are not that tech savy as others, so they do not even know what the news is about.

    The attitude of excusing any behavior in a mass panic while shaming those who call out dodgy behavior is only making this entire thing much worse.

If two or four euros is so little as to be entirely negligible, and if anyone who would care about throwing such a small amount of money away deserved to be ridiculed, why does Netflix ask for it? They could just let the customer keep the money since it doesn't matter, right? If fact, everyone could just send me this silly sum that doesn't matter and they shouldn't complain about.

  Exactly, this is less than a single one of the overpriced Starbucks coffees that those same people probably purchase without spending a single thought on it. Being empathetic to these measures is the right call, although I do find that much more important for brick & mortar businesses than Netflix.

> Two or four euros per month. Times a million or 10 or 50. Add to that the 25% savings on internet egress, which last I checked was still how commercial internet is financed. The cost of actually providing the content to the consumers is on the ISP which hosts an Open Connect box.
