Please don't require cable provider login

As long as Netflix is going to offer more content at the same price and NOT require a provider login, I say I can't wait. But if they require a provider login that would just suck.

Like epix for example, why the heck isn't there an option to subscribe to online streaming only?

No, absolutely not. Going with a cable provider means streamed commercials. The day Netflix has commercials of any kind, I cancel the service permanently.

Netflix has a very good thing going. They had a rough 2011, mostly due to media hype over a VERY minor change in service plans. Hell how many times have we had our cable rates jacked up? People grumble about that but take it up the ass with hardly any complaint.

For $7.99 I can stream to my hearts content with no commercials. It's perfect just the way it is.

If limited commercials (3-4 per show like Hulu) were introduced but backed up by new shows being released say a week after being aired, I could live with it.

Unlike most, I don't mind a few commercials.

I don't think it necessarily means commercials. I think it will be more exclusivity crap, like pay per view titles not conflicting with Netflix titles or something like that.

It is fine just the way it is. I think Reed is probably just worried that the others will get in bed with the evil cable companies/studios before they do.
