Netflix price increase to hit UK in October

Hold on to your wallets - Netflix subscription prices are going up.

Those paying for the Basic tier (£6 per month) won't see a price increase, but those paying for Standard to watch shows in HD (and on two screens at once) will see their bill rise from £7.50 per month to £8, and those watching in 4K HDR (and on four screens) will pay £10 instead of £9.

Existing subscribers will be told of the increase officially on 19th October, with the cost increase starting in November. These increases are happening in the US too, so it's not just the British feeling the (small) squeeze.
