Netflix said Monday it will not stop telling consumers that Internet service providers are to blame for poor streaming video.

Last week, Verizon sent a cease and desist letter to Netflix threatening a lawsuit unless Netflix immediately stops sending notices to customers (like the one at the top of this story) blaming Verizon for poor quality. Verizon also demanded a list of all customers who received such messages and evidence that each message was justified.

Verizon today demanded that "Netflix immediately cease and desist" its practice of telling customers that Verizon is to blame for network quality problems that affect streaming video.

This week, Netflix customer Yuri Victor tweeted a screenshot of a message he got from Netflix that said, "The Verizon network is crowded right now. Adjusting video for smoother playback..." It turns out Netflix has been providing these messages to customers of multiple ISPs for a month.

Wii U Netflix App Doesn't Allow '@' Entry into Password Field

It looks like the usability testing departments at Netflix and Nintendo might be in trouble.

The Wii U Netflix app's launch, like the console's launch itself, didn't exactly go smoothly. The Wii U Netflix app somehow didn't ship with the '@' function for password entry.

A Reddit user reported the issue to Netflix support. The only solution thus so far is for users with the @ symbol in their password to change their password via the Netflix website to something else that's actually available on the app keyboard.
