Certain Netflix subscription tiers will be getting a price hike in the United States, Mashable
reports. The basic plan, which supports one stream at a time in SD quality, will remain $8. The "standard" plan with two simultaneous streams and HD quality will go from $10 to $11. The "premium" plan with four simultaneous streams and UHD/4K quality will go from $12 to $14.
The increases start in November and customers will be alerted about the hikes on October 19th. Netflix provided Mashable with the following statement regarding the increases:
"From time to time, Netflix plans and pricing are adjusted as we add more exclusive TV shows and movies, introduce new product features and improve the overall Netflix experience to help members find something great to watch even faster."
The streaming service's last increase took place back in 2014 when prices went up by a dollar, but grandfathered existing users in at the previous, lower price for a limited time. Doesn't look like that will happen this time around. Maybe it's a good time to stop and take stock of how often you use that subscription anyway.
