Netflix hikes subscription prices in the UK: Should Indian customers be concerned?

In its fight against the deep-pocketed rivals – Disney and Apple – as they gear up to launch their streaming services later this year, Netflix is raising the subscription prices for its UK customers. The standard definition tier, with 2 screens, now costs 1 British pound more, at 8.99 pounds while the premium plan, that includes UHD video streams, has gone up 2 pounds to 11.99 pounds.

Netflix allows streaming on two simultaneous screens under the standard plan, while the premium plan supports 4 screens that can stream 4K quality videos. Its basic plan, which is limited to one screen with the standard definition videos, is unaffected by the price surge.
