Netflix Raises Prices in the UK

Following a price increase in the United States and Canada earlier this year, Netflix is raising its prices in the UK as well. According to Cord Busters, all of Netflix's plans are going to be more expensive going forward.

The Standard plan with Ads is £1 more expensive at £5.99 per month, while the Standard plan is now priced at £12.99 per month, a £2 increase. The high-end premium plan costs £18.99 per month, up £1 from the prior £17.99 per month price.

The UK price hike is in line with the price increases that Netflix made in the United States. The Standard with Ads plan is $7.99 (up $1), the Standard plan is $17.99 per month (up $2), and the Premium plan is $24.99 per month (up $2).

When raising prices in the United States, Netflix said that it will use the money to provide more value to subscribers. "As we continue to invest in programming and deliver more value for our members, we will occasionally ask our members to pay a little more so that we can re-invest to further improve Netflix."

Netflix's price increases and crackdowns on password sharing have been successful for the company. In the fourth quarter of 2024, Netflix gained 19 million new subscribers and saw 16 percent revenue growth. Netflix has more than 300 million paying subscribers, and it is expecting continued growth in 2025.

£227.88 a year. Compare that to Amazon Prime and all that you get, which is £95.

Let that sink in for a minute...

You honestly don’t need to highlight that a spelling is different, it’s called English for a reason.

And yes, the downvote button is also there for a reason - people are entitled to disagree and you seem to be very defensive about this.
Cue and Queue are 2 different words with different meanings. Both used extensively in the UK. I suspect the OP was trying to be clever, but ended up looking foolish :)

Queue (spelling play for the brits) the whining and calls for thievery.
…
Lastly, cue the red thumbs. :rolleyes: Feel free to challenge the idea, I'll wait.

Queue the whining and calls for thievery.

The cost is still very reasonable IF you don't expect to be subscribed to them all at once. Sub, binge, unsub, rinse and repeat FTW. If you rotate and have only 2 or 3 active at a time the cost vs consumption is very reasonable.

Queue my friend @turbineseaplane telling us all that steaming services will soon cancel monthly subs. Perhaps, but until that day, use the advice above!

The math is very simple, if you apply some discipline. Lets just say, all streaming services are $20/month:

* If your household consumes 20 hours of content per week that is 80 hours of content per month.
* If you subscribe to 2 services at a time that would be $40 cost for 80 hours of content or .50 per hour of content, really reasonable in my book. Wouldn't you pay $1 for your entire household to watch a 2 hour movie?
* If you subscribe to 10 services at a time that would be $200 cost for 80 hours of content or $2.50 per hour, only you can judge if this is still a good value for you but it is certainly more than .50/hour.

Lastly, queue the red thumbs. :rolleyes: Feel free to challenge the idea, I'll wait.
The word is cue.
