Netflix Customers Revolt Against Price Hike

Users threaten to switch to rival services

Netflix announced a major price hike yesterday, sending subscribers into a tizzy. No longer will customers be able to spend just $9.99 per month for DVDs and unlimited online streaming—they’ll have to pay $7.99 for each. Now, thousands of Netflix’s angry subscribers are taking to the Internet to protest the new fees. 

According to the New York Post, enraged users attacked Netflix CEO Reed Hastings online, calling him “Greed Hastings” on message boards and social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.
