Just seems weird that we have an iFlix thread but no Netfilx

Anyway, just want to share that I gained access using Unlocator.com. Basically, it changes your DNS settings to hide your location. (Doesn't work with mobile networks, ATM).

https://unlocator.com/

I'm currently subscribed to Netflix's 30-day trial and $8.99/mo for 2-devices+HD. so it comes to $8.99+$4.16 for a $13.15/mo subscription.

PS: If we have an existing thread, please merge.

anong internet subscription mo now and at 2 devices simultaneous, no obvious lag?

I got the hang of netflix last summer and wondering if my DSL would be good enough.

leomarley · « **Reply #4 on:** Aug 06, 2015 at 03:13 PM »

Our plan is 10mbps but actual speed is 8.5mbps. Haven't tried streaming w/ 2 devices. Just got that plan kasi sa $7.99 na single device plan hindi HD and streaming.

anong isp nyo sir leo?

leomarley · « **Reply #6 on:** Aug 06, 2015 at 06:27 PM »

Globe sir na Platinum 10mbps. no capping.

nvektus · « **Reply #7 on:** Aug 07, 2015 at 09:05 AM »

i pay $7.99 for my netflix and $3.95 for getflix (to redirect dns). i think it's in their tos that you're allowed to stream up to 2 devices simultaneously with the same ip. although when my wife was working overseas for a couple of years we shared a single netflix account and sometimes watched at the same time. for some reason my account never got suspended or banned.

i'm on 8mbps pldt mydsl and netflix hd and surround works well. i use 3 wd tv live players connected to different tv's in my house.

lately, it's like scraping at the bottom of the barrel looking for shows that's worth watching. my 10yr old loves netflix though... lots of kids shows.

leomarley · « **Reply #8 on:** Aug 07, 2015 at 09:22 AM »

how are you able to view shows in HD sir? eto kasi plan sa netflix:

mas mura yung dns redirect service mo. ma-try nga yan pag natapos na trial ko sa unlocator.com.

nvektus · « **Reply #9 on:** Aug 07, 2015 at 10:05 AM »

i'm still under the old netflix agreement. when i signed up a few years ago there was only a single option of $7.99/month, and it stays that way for 2 years from the time the increase and new plans started.

yep, getflix is one of the cheapest around. sa unblockus ako dati for $4.99 until it stopped working and tech support couldn't find a fix. i switched to getflix last november and still reliable so far.

leomarley · « **Reply #10 on:** Aug 09, 2015 at 06:55 PM »

there's a free way to mask dns. if you're using Chrome, just download the Hola extension in Chrome marketplace.

whats your actual internet speed when watching on netflix? wala naman lag?

flashDB · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 07, 2016 at 08:55 AM »

Netflix available 130+ countries

I wonder how this will compete with iFlix? No Asian shows? Sana wala din restrictions/difference between US and other regions.

Your thoughts

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 07, 2016 at 08:59 AM »

I wish you could browse exactly which shows are available before starting the free trial. Is it exactly the same as the content in the US? Hard to say with their website.

https://www.netflix.com/ph/

flashDB · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 07, 2016 at 09:16 AM »

or possibly borrow an account created in US just to check what's inside outside US.

leomarley · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 07, 2016 at 09:17 AM »

you can switch to different regions using the same netflix account naman. afaik may ibang series na hindi included sa Philippines.

traveler69 · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 07, 2016 at 09:19 AM »

The good news is that Netflix is here.

The bad news has been: pupugakpugak pa rin ang internet speed sa Pinas.

At the moment, it doesn't matter whether I'm on LTE or Platinum data plan. Napaka-backward ng sistema. Connected, pero walang data. Mistulang peak hours all the time. Bulok talaga!

My seamless Netflix experience in California and Florida (no infuriating lags and no endless buffering) will always be a benchmark in evaluating this Netflix PH. I use T-Mobile to watch Netflix and when they advertise LTE data speeds you get truly convincing speeds for the money.

so effectively you can just set it default to US, without any issues? if that's the case ok. i'll start with their free trial ...

yes. I'm not sure though if you can access it without using a vpn or dns masking service. right now i'm using a dns masking service to access the US region. I want to know though if I can still access it without using one para i'll stop subscribing to unlocator.com at makabawas ng P200 sa bayarin monthly.

iFlix is a lot cheaper (109 vs. 370 a month for the cheapest Netflix plan) and offers more Asian and Filipino titles.

BTW, do you get more titles/TV seasons when you start paying?

How can you switch to Netflix US?

leomarley · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 07, 2016 at 09:36 AM »

just got to Netflix.com. afaik, Philippines is Netflix.com/ph.

anyway, i don't watch any Asian or Filipino titles.

mykel18 · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 07, 2016 at 10:13 AM »

Subscribed already.

I think you will still need vpn to access other countries Netflix content. because when I was in Germany for a couple of months, when I access Netflix from there using my usa account, it automatically diverts you to the german site's contents, I have to activate vpn to get the usa content back.

btw, I use my ipad to access Netflix so vpn is free with onavo, although onavo is only useful if you are using usa sites unlike the paid once on a pc were you can choose any territory.

frequenzy · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 07, 2016 at 11:23 AM »

I expect the content would be different in the PH and USA, same as Spotify. USA would probably have additional content and some exclusives.

With the streaming based services coming to us, I just wish our internet speed could catch up, sadly i can't see a light at the end of the tunnel

leomarley · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 07, 2016 at 11:27 AM »

they're updating their speed but only for fiber connections.

SiCkBoY · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 07, 2016 at 02:03 PM »

Ang mahal! I think I'll stick with my IFlix and HOOQ subscriptions for now.

I have the same sentiment.

After reading your posts, wala pala Asian shows sa Netflix? I will stick with IFlix and HOOQ then.

Netflix is now available in the Philippines!

https://media.netflix.com/en/press-releases/netflix-is-now-available-around-the-world

It tested it a while ago. Impressive video and audio quality for streaming content.

I used Apple TV to play Netflix. Jessica Jones was streaming in HD and in 5.1 Audio!

Available na din sa PS4.

Your US based subscription works here . I just tried mine without a VPN connection and it now works... A few ago it would have reported an error .
