The good news is that the changes are limited to the US, but how long will that last until the changes inevitably go global?
The monthly subscription fee for a standard Netflix account (HD, no Ultra HD, 2 screens) will be raised to $13 ($12.99) a month from the previous cost of $11.
Additionally, the Basic plan (no HD, no Ultra HD, 1 screen) will go to $9 ($8.99) from the previous $8, with the Premium plan (HD, Ultra HD, 4 screens) going to $16 ($15.99) from $14.
Netflix are apparently going to notify subscribers about the price hike via email, although the updated fees have already appeared on the subscription page.
“We change pricing from time to time as we continue investing in great entertainment and improving the overall Netflix experience for the benefit of our members,” a Netflix spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter.
