honestly the quality of netflix has gone down quite a bit (both us and canada). they took out some of my favourite things like chappelle's show cause copyright shit
there are still plenty of gr8 shows however, like this and i recently found out about this which is pretty interesting if ur interested in that sorta stuff
if you dont have a bandwidth cap or anything id recommend netflix over cable cause you can watch pretty much all the popular stuff on demand, with no commercials
but if you like watching sports and news and other tv stuff that isnt on netflix then you should prob go cable
netflix tends to have a specific type of show (drama/comedy sitcom/serial stuff). What it has is pretty good, and it has a lot of good shows and movies, but it's definitely missing out on a lot of stuff.
