have you tried to buy a cell phone lately that only does phone calls?
NOW, it's nothing but an advertising rag, and you need special training to eliminate or skip the ads and use it as a real resource

I don't want a phone just to make phone calls. Phone calls are annoying, especially to businesses with voice trees, annoying waits on hold and incompetent employees.

Maybe that's why so many come here to ask questions which can easily be found on their own.

Two different comments you combined here - cell phone for only calls, and internet that has become an advertising rag. it makes no sense the way you quoted me.

And, "answers found on their own" ...hmmm, that's why this forum exists, to ask people that know about thing like this - first hand, not someone trying to sell me a product, and will 'bend the answer' to do it.

And I fully admit my tech stupidity - that's why I come here, and that's why I answer other questions where I do have expertise - sharing knowledge - a great concept.

But, my questions about NetFlicks can't be answered easily on the web, only by someone who has the service. tried NetFlicks too, and got a non-trained person (twice) who couldn't answer my questions either. Per usual, when you try CS at major corporations today.

For example - Now that I know it's a continuous 'stream' for two hours or so, instead of a minute or two download --- brings another question to mind.

What happens if your watching a movie and you lose signal - something that happens pretty frequently when in rural and outlying areas -- And, rural and outlying areas, the very reason we have portable signals in the first place.

SO, maybe someone can answer that - what happens to the movie when you lose signal - does it start again same place when it picks up signal, does it drop completely? A bummer in the middle of a flick, right? If you lose it?

Although, it seems in general, WIFI (streaming) is not a good idea. Probably a better service for those with home hard-wire ISP.
