Netflix is increasing its monthly subscription prices for the first time in two years

The subscription package will increase by 20 percent

Netflix is increasing its account subscription prices for accounts in the United Kingdom for the first time since 2017. From Thursday 30 July, the subscription price for standard Netflix accounts will go up by £1 to £8.99, while the premium account will increase by £2 up to £11.99. The current £5.99 monthly fee for the basic plan will remain the same. For those unaware - and to be honest, we were - the basic plan only allows the account holder to watch Netflix on a single device in standard definition, while standard and premium allows more devices in high definition. Premium allows the use of four accounts while standard allows two.
