Popular streaming service Netflix is bumping up the prices across all three of their subscription tiers for subscribers in the UK and Ireland. The streamer, which also produces a range of original Netflix series, made the announcement on March 10.
In the UK, it’s raising their standard subscription package — which offers simultaneous two-screen viewing, high-definition and the ability to download content on two devices — from £9.99 per month to £10.99 a month. The company is also raising the monthly subscription price for their basic package — which involves watching on one screen and downloading offline on one device — from £5.99 to £6.99. As for Netflix‘s premium plan, that is facing a monthly increase from £13.99 to £15.99. This subscription tier lets users watch content on up to four different screens at a time, and allows downloads on up to four different devices.
In Ireland, Netflix’s basic plan will face a monthly €1 rise to €8.99. Additionally, the standard plan will rise from €12.99 to €14.99 while their premium subscription will rise by €3 to €20.99. This will come into effect immediately for new subscribers, while, depending on the billing cycle, existing subscribers will get 30 days’ notice by email.
