Customers who are currently subscribed to the popular TV streaming service can expect their monthly fee rise from July onwards and new sign-ups will need to pay the higher price immediately.
According to Gizmodo, the increase details are as follows:
“On the basic $8.99 plan, which is for a single device and doesn’t include HD or Ultra HD streaming, you’ll now pay $9.99. On the standard $11.99 plan which includes HD streaming to two devices, you’ll now pay $13.99. On the premium $14.99 plan which includes Ultra HD streaming to up to four devices, you’ll now pay $17.99.”
A Netflix spokesperson gave this statement to Gizmodo:
“From time to time, Netflix plans and pricing are adjusted as we add more exclusive TV shows and movies, introduce new product features and improve the overall Netflix experience to help members find something great to watch even faster. We also adjust plans and pricing to respond to local market changes, such as tax or regulatory changes.
“Since launching in Australia in 2015, we have not changed pricing. In light of the upcoming GST increase, we will be rolling out updated plans and pricing starting June 28 in Australia. Members will be notified of the changes via email and service notifications.”
More details will be communicated via email.
