Netflix Comes to Canada

How does this Shaw on Demand work, anyway? Is it a la carte, as in you pay for each thing you want to stream? I mean, almost every cable and satellite company here has on demand as well, but it's at least 3 dollars for each thing you want to stream, and you only have it for 24 hours after you start watching it.

So that's only cheaper for the first two things you get on demand, and even then not really since you only get it for 24 hours.

I'm not really the fanboy type, but I am definitely a fanboy of Netflix. It's one of the best companies I've ever seen. Everything is reasonably priced, and they have the best customer service in the world. I remember once a while back their streaming service went down for a couple of hours one night, and they refunded all of their customers like 70 cents, or however much it equated to out of your subscription fee, whether you had actually tried to stream something then or not.

In addition there are other smaller perks - their recommendation algorithm is crazy good, they had some sort of contest with a million dollar prize to whoever could create the best algorithm for recommending movies that a person may like.
