Question: How does the Netflix online service actually work?

Answer: Netflix is basically a subscription service that allows users to watch various films and TV shows from their library.

Users stream the videos over the internet using either a computer, laptop, tablet, phone or games console.

Although Netflix place no limit on how much viewers can watch, those who’s internet providers impose strict download limits on their usage may be limited by this.

One good thing about the service is you don’t have to sign up to a minimum term contract, users just pay on a monthly basis and can cancel anytime they wish.

So I guess if your not impressed by the content on offer your not stuck with it, plus Netflix is usually offering a months free trial for new users anyway.

Netflix does have a fairly large collection of movies and television shows though many of the shows are very old now, different people may consider this a good or bad thing.
