I haven’t been able to view anything in HD via google chrome on windows (on 10Mbps fiber). Signed up for trial with HD havent’ seen the little “HD icon” in any shows or movies. The selection is quite limited. Is this all that is licensed for the Philippines or they only launched with a light selection of shows?

I hope Globe or even Smart partner with Netflix here in PH. I do want to watch some shows but I’m being limit by the 800mb/day.

Anyway I though the first month is free before getting billed but when I registered my Mastercard it billed me for 370 php. I guess if I unsubscribe it will give back my money? Not that it’s bad for me. i

Has anyone been able to get a HD stream going? I even tried it on an ipad3 and didn’t get a little lit up “HD” icon going. (And yes I signed up for a HD plan.)

Your VPN will allow you access to Netflix in other countries such as the US, which has the best selection of movies and TV shows.

I wonder if Netflix did any research on our internet infrastructure before deciding to launch here. Only those with no data cap will be able to utilize the service well.

Or are they banking on getting a lot of subscriptions from hapless pinoys who don’t realize they won’t be able to maximize their Netflix usage once they hit their monthly/daily data caps?

I fear that for most pinoys, this is like a physically handicapped person getting a full Fitness First membership.
