Again.

The new UK pricing is Standard with adverts: £5.99/month (a £1 increase); Standard: £12.99/month (a £2 increase) and Premium for £18.99/month (a £1 increase).

Netflix increases UK subscription prices

The latest round of price increases from Netflix has reached the UK.

We cancelled our Netflix account late last year after seeing the news of price increases elsewhere in the world. Not to mention Netflix are notorious for cancelling shows seemingly on a whim.

Worked out that for various streaming and subscription services we were paying close to £100 a month and not really engaging with a lot of it. £12.99 may not seem like much but combined with Disney+, Prime, NowTV, Spotify and whatever else it soon adds up.

Still good value if you just go for the basic and just hop on and off a month at a time when there's anything you really want to watch. I do the same with Disney+ etc.

It only really gets pricey if you have multiple subscriptions rolling on month after month.

We were watching a series, forget now what it was, but series 1 & 2 were free (included) but series 3 onwards cost extra. We now check all shows are free before starting anything.

Yeah I've started to check if a series has either concluded or has a next season scheduled before starting. I can't bear watching something, getting invested in the story and then it being left on a cliffhanger or something.

I still think it's decent value.
Lots to watch.

Disney+ is probably better value and eventually will have to make a choice between one or the other.
I think Netflix's content will win out though.

I often see BBC IPlayer and ITV X and wonder why folk would need Netflix. There is so much good stuff on those two. If people have Amazon subscriptions then Netflix is really redundant unless there is a specific series they want.

I agree @Eeyore I think the way to surf these channels increasingly is to binge each for a month during a free trial, and then switch off for a year or two. Why people say the TV licence is expensive when comparably streaming and satellite services can soon amount to 4 figures (and still loads of rubbish!) I'll never understand. More impartial than most, the BBC News division is worth it alone compared to e.g. FOX, GB News etc
