Netflix to raise prices on 17 Million accounts

Netflix will raise prices on about 17 million of its standard accounts starting next month, and most people have no idea, according to Wall Street analysts.

In May 2014, Netflix began to raise the price of its standard streaming plan for new subscribers, first to $8.99 a month, then to $9.99 a month last October. Existing subscribers, however, were grandfathered in at $7.99 a month for the two-stream, "HD" quality plan.

But those days will soon be over.

Next month, these grandfathered customers will begin to be moved up to $9.99 for the standard plan. Analysts at UBS have estimated that this change will end up affecting about 37% of US subscribers, or 17 million people.

And most of those 17 million subscribers aren't aware of the coming changes. In a recent JPMorgan survey, about 80% of those who could be "un-grandfathered" in May didn't know the price hike was coming.

Netflix in general has degraded a lot over the past two years. Really the only thing going for it right now is its original content. So much third party content has either been removed (going on other services like HULU or HBO) or is completely out of date

I like being able to turn my t.v. on and go straight on Netflix when I'm hungover or on me way down. I haven't got the capacity to f*ck around with finding good torrents for something when I feel like poo.
