Now, people are beginning to pay cable prices for streaming services and having to keep track of a half-dozen subscriptions, instead of just paying one monthly bill.
Previously announced rate increases are going into effect for all Netflix customers by next month.
Under the new pricing, Netflix’s Standard plan (with two HD streams) increases by $2 per month, from $10.99 to $12.99.
Still, with more and more streaming services — Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, HBO, ESPN, Mubi, Criterion Channel, and on and on and on — these little price increases can start to add up.
