rugrat:

 

I know what both of you are talking about, one is breaking the terms and conditions and people in the living in same house are within terms and conditions.

 

I thought it was four streams at once, not five. Anyway not everybody needs multiple streams, and it’s not fair to lump the 4K in with that, if it’s the multiple streams that up the price.

 

Yes I can afford the $25, but when are these increases going to stop, as they are all big ones percentage wise.

 

At end of day there’s only so much that can watch, Disney $13 a month (year contract), and Prime Video $8 a month are better value proposition for me and both supply max quality at those prices.

 

Edit: Max of 5 profiles, but only 4 can stream at same time.

 

 

Individually, the SVOD services are 'small potatoes' but add 3-4-5 of them up and it's a reasonably outlay.

 

You can only watch so much TV (assuming you have a job and some kind of non couch-based life. I take the view that if one is not being watched much, then it gets the chop. There might be some remarks about "oh, do we not have disney anymore?" but such is life.

 

As long as the services have monthly pricing, there's little to lose by chopping and changing.

 

For us, NF is one service that has had less churn but it will be in the firing line more often as the price rises.

It’s been well over a month. Tempting fate, but has anyone had the price increase email yet?

 

I’m waiting to get the email so I can hit the cancel button with nothing to lose, I.e if I press it now I can’t get it for price currently paying, as new sign ups are at higher price.

 

Are they just taking time to get through sending emails, or are to many people hitting cancel when they send?

 

I have also checked credit card each month to make sure charged old price.

Someone in the "annoys" thread mentioned getting one (which calls it a "price update" or something, rather than an increase!)

Thanks, my roll over date is 11th, so if they give 30 days notice for account roll over will probably make it 11th of Jan for me.

 

Looks like all 10 episodes of Lost in Space drop on 1st Dec, so that should work out good.

I cancelled mine as soon as it was announced and have recently had enticements to come back on both emails I have used with netflix. Will wait and see if there is anything I want to watch over the xmas break and may get it for a month, but really I am getting many x more $ for enjoyment out of gamepass so it will probably be a one month reactivation of it.

We got our warning notice back on 7 Nov: “The cost of your plan has changed. This change takes effect Tuesday, December 7th, 2021. You can view your updated membership details by visiting your account”.

 

That we appear to be relatively early in paying the increase is all ok, as I recall last time it took ages (a matter of months) for it to flow through to our account compared to others.

Im not sure what mine is. I use it. Its not a world breaker and I can also cancel it if I so choose. I dont see the issue. Keep it or cancel it.

I got my “price update” email. 12 January when takes effect, but I’ll take the $0 bill option by then.

 

Will go back to Prime Video, making a note to not watch overlap shows on Netflix  and Prime like Super Store, Big Bang Theory, be silly to watch them on dearer service.

 

It wouldn’t let me watch on TV on my current plan, until I agreed to higher price plan in future or picked option to down grade plans. Prime gives 4k in $8 plan, so can’t see how 4K is worth an extra $6.50 on Netflix.

 

Once I agreed on TV Netflix sent emails saying the cost of your plan has changed. I only selected plan change so I could continue watching in current month which was already charged.
