I got an email about this yesterday,it said if you do nothing you will automatically transfer onto the £4.99 p.m. with adverts which I'm happy with.

I don't pay for Netflix, is it better value than the TV licence?

I already pay the premium charge and then for more users! I really enjoy the service and all of us use it frequently.

I think Netflix is good value, lots of original dramas. Apple has a few good shows but nowhere near as many.

I miss it, I did get it courtesy of my son but they stopped allowing the account holder to set up several accounts. There are several shows Netflix has that I'd like to see, everyone seems to be talking about Baby Reindeer right now. I've recently subscribed to Apple tv, they have some good things, once I've exhausted what they do have, I may cancel and subscribe to Netflix. I've subscribed to Amazon since lock down for deliveries, but don't find that much to watch over there.

It’s a pain but still worth it ( to us) as our main source of entertainment.
Think what you pay as a couple at the cinema to watch just one film.

I still get mine at £4.99 but with adverts. It's a pain but Prime did a similar thing.

That is a big jump.

Starting next month, the Netflix “basic plan” will be discontinued, to be replaced by their “ standard plan”, at £10.99 per month, an increase of £3 per month. Quite a big increase, and at very short notice.

Will anyone cancel?
