The chances are you won’t be…
Netflix recently announced that there will be a price increase to it’s packages in America – as much as 18% (see below). As with all price increases, new subscribers will pay the new prices immediately, but existing subscribers will be emailed when their price will increase.
The new prices for American customers are:
- Basic Plan: $9 (was $8)
- HD Standard Plan: $13 (was $11)
- 4K Premium Plan: $16 (was $14)
It is important to note that unless you live in the U.S. or 40 other countries in Latin America (other than Brazil or Mexico) where it bills it’s users in USD, these increases will not affect you. Netflix has clarified in an official statement to Digital Spy that this increase will not affect the U.K.
wouldn’t affect me unless sky put up their price for the Ultimate on Demand package as only paying £5 for would normally cost £9.99 from Netflix (4 Screens and UHD)
YET……
This increase would to be covering holding onto the dead horse thats friends. In the uk its always on a channel dont know why netflix held onto it rather see my money go on new series and films!
Sarah Lee It was never leaving the UK service. This “holding on” you mention was for the USA.
Still dont see anypoint because its always on normal tv!!
Sarah Lee I genuinely can’t tell you the last time I watched a tv show as it was shown other than the news, I record or stream everything nowadays
Sarah Lee I LOVE friends and really appreciate it being on Netflix!
Sarah Lee we have friends with Netflix in Portugal and their selection is SO much better than ours and they pay less! Much more new series and films rather than repeats of stuff that’s been on TV already or is 20 years old. Majority of stuff on UK one is rubbish, but currently it’s still worth it for the odd one or two films each month and a few Netflix exclusive series.
Charlotte Slater-Villar I wouldn’t say better, just different.
The uk will follow soon after I have no doubt despite the denial It’s a dangerous game to play though with apple and Disney starting channels soon
Gavin Green We had a price increase the other year. Plus, we already have Disney Life so not sure how an American streaming service would affect us?
New On Netflix UK because the increase always follows after. Maybe not the next month but I suspect one will be announced by April
I do think the price eventually will go up,I get it if its because of new content , but with new streaming services coming into play like Disney and when or if eventually comes to uk,and what I read it could be cheaper than Netflix, I cant see how Netflix can keep increasing there prices as I for one will jump to Disney plus as price is important,especially with marvel,and star wars there on Disney plus,Netflix should be lowering there prices ready for the competition.
well Netflix are so in debt and still running at a yearly loss this doesn’t surprise me
In fact I’m surprised they can afford to do what they do and make movies with the prices they currently charge
It’s obvious a very long term financial risk, spend the money to make longer term profit over a longer time rather than make all the money now
Still good value. I wish Amazon Prime would get their act together – Netflix outdo them in so many categories.
