Netflix is testing price rises for UK customers

Netflix is testing new prices for the UK market. Viewers around the UK have reported seeing different prices for each bracket, with some as high as £12.99 a month.

Netflix's Premium package usually costs £9.99 a month, but it appears as though the streaming service is trialling charging £10.99, £11.99 and £12.99. The Premium package gives you content in Ultra HD, and lets you watch on up to four screens simultaneously.

They added: "Our goal is to ensure that Netflix is always great value for money."

This isn't the first time Netflix has spooked its customers with a test. The streaming giant has previously tested advert breaks in its original content, pre-roll videos and screensavers, all to mixed reactions from customers.
