Hey, does anyone have a Netflix account back home in the states? Any trouble using it in Korea? I'm actually back in the states right now getting ready to go back to the R.O.K soon an' I wanna get a Netflix account, but I'm wondering if I'd have any trouble accessing it there. I'm talking about streaming the movies over the internet; not having them sent to me in the mail way over there. I know there's some stuff you can't easily get to on the internet in Korea because the servers are in another country or something. Lemme know if anyone knows anything about it, 'kay? Thanks.

Access to netflix streaming content is blocked from outside the US. There are ways around it though

The other option is to just download

I have over 1000 movies on hard drives, I can download them faster than I can watch them

I was thinking buying an ISP was a little extreme to use netflix Laughing
