I’ve searched for a Netflix chat and couldn’t find one so though I would create one.
Anyway, it seems Netflix is increasing their prices again Netflix increases its prices yet AGAIN: Standard plan for UK users jumps from £9.99 to £10.99 | Daily Mail Online
Think I’m still paying a fiver a month for Premium through Sky so happy enough.
I’d still pay £14 if I had to but everyone obviously has their limits.
I used to hold Netflix as the top tier of the streaming services but I’m really starting to question membership.
The quality of stuff just seems to have taken a dip and some of the blockbuster stuff they’ve created hasn’t really done it for me.
Them asking for more money might mean I finally cancel 
I cancelled Netflix a few weeks ago. I just think Netflix has gone way too far into “quantity” rather than “quality”. So many times now I’ve watched something that is supposedly good on Netflix, only to feel like I’ve wasted my time watching a programme that in reality feels the same as all their other programmes and is not that good.
I am currently subscribing to Disney+, AppleTV+, Now (although only because I got a £1 for a month offer) and have access to Prime Video through my parents.
I did get an email this morning telling me to resubcribe for £6.99 so it definitely seems the price increase is genuine.
I’ve not paid for a steaming service for a while now tbf, all these companies splintering off content into various over priced services, which then keep increasing in price.
£9.99 > £11.99 > £13.99
On the £13.99 now £15.99 
Still will pay that as its worth it for our family.
I’m not sure at what price it has to go to before it becomes too much.
(15.99*12)/365 = 53p a day
BBC license fee is 44p a day 
If it was £1 a day (£29.99 a month) would people still pay it?
I think people would if it had everything.
But now there’s so many different streaming options, it gets expensive! I’d pay £30 to one if it had all of it, but none of them do or ever will, so it’s going to inch up for all of them instead.
We pay:
Netflix £9.99
Amazon Prime £7.99
Disney Plus we got free for a year off O2
Works out cheaper than a tv licence and then Sky/Virgin subscription for something to watch.
NOW does have Peacock included in the entertainment membership (although it is a limited selection of shows) and I believe will get Paramount+ included in the cinema membership. Considering most of what I watch on NOW is HBO shows, it seems they might have to prepare from the loss of many of those shows when that deal comes to an end in a few years.
Happy to see Peacemaker coming to Now before my membership ends though. Been looking forward to that for a while!
I’ve been conditioned by Disney’s price nonsense to see the Netflix increase as “fine’.
I think Disney was £50 year one, £60 for year two and it will be £80 for year three. Ridiculous!
Isn’t it the same as a price increase though? They offered an annual subscription for £50 the first year and then took that price away. So the price increased.
Seeing it as something else is just successful marketing.
Same.
Can’t grumble at £5, even if I only watch one film a month it covers the rental cost.
In reality we watch quite a few films and the odd series here and there, so well worth it at this price in my opinion 
Which was a ploy so they could increase the price later 
it’s a price increase they just gave really advance notice. Now they’ve bunged another £20 on.
Yeah but they then increased the cost of that exact same commitment the next year
its not very clear when the price increase takes effect , “you will be e mailed 30 days before depending on your billing cycle” well mines is the 1st of the month , so not looking it will be april then as i dont have the notification its going up
It’s really grating that it’s going up at the same time quality feels like it’s been going down. At the same time Netflix is still the best service of them all to me. Disney is just full of Disney trash and Prime is alright but since the expanse ended I haven’t used it a lot. Whereas Netflix I caught a good few of the years top movies along with some cracking series like All of Us are Dead and the Arcane.
Also it stacks all the Korean and Chinese dramas so I can tell you now it won’t be going anywhere because someone in the house is hopelessly addicted (and it’s sadly not me)
alice in borderland was really good , and of course the squid games
Absolutely love Netflix. The Witcher and Stranger Things are a couple of my favourite series.
I just cancelled my Amazon Prime as I never watched any shows on it. They finally put an end to my discounted student rates and full price just wasn’t worth it to me.
For my money absolutely. Seasons 2 and 3 are some of the best TV I’ve watched, and definitely the best sci fi if that’s a genre you are into
