Netflix’s latest price hikes are harder to ignore this time
Netflix snuck in yet another price hike before what was (for many) a three-day weekend in the U.S., but this one feels different, with both the priciest and least expensive plans hitting eye-opening milestones.
For starters, Netflix’s non-HD, single-screen Basic plan has finally (for all intents and purposes) entered the double-digit club, rising from $8.99 to $9.99—let’s just call it $10—a month.
Meanwhile, Netflix’s Premium plan, which offers four simultaneous streams of video at up to UHD resolution, is now a whopping $20 a month, a $2/month price hike. (Officially, it’s now $19.99 a month, but we’re rounding that penny up from now on.)
