I live in Brazil, so I don't have many options. I am subscribing to NetMovies for 3 months. So far, I think is an excellent service.
Movie delivery is on schedule, except for one day after a big Holiday. Whenever I new title that is on my wish list arrives, I request the deliver for the next day and I always get them. This is something would never happen if I went to a physical store.
The streaming service is good. Although it uses flash, which freezes on a low-end notebook, at least it is fully compatible with Linux. However, title availability online is really poor. The store has 23.000 DVD titles, but only 3.500 online, most of which are low-budget productions, very old movies and very old TV series. However, I have actually watched a couple of very good movies online.
As far as I know, the only alternative available in my country is Blockbuster. It seems it has a similar catalog, although I have read that is really hard to get new titles from them, because of waiting list.
Since Canadian ISPs are notorious for enforcing bandwidth caps, and netflicks isn't all the great in Canada yet, I still go to the store and rent a disk.

I like (and use) netflix- only problem is it refuses to work with any kind of linux. Which isn't that big of a problem cuz i just stream it to my 60 inch TV which is so much better than my 20 in. computer screen

Zediva is being sued by the movie studios because of the way they bypass online streaming restrictions, by plugin DVD players to the web. Additionally, it is not accepting new registrations due to server capacity. However, it seems they are still accepting single title and 10 pack rentals.
