Netflix increases its UK subscription prices, with the cheapest ad-supported plan rising by about a third. The Belfast Telegraph and The Independent report that Netflix now charges £7.99 per month for its lowest-cost plan.
Both outlets describe the plan as the “standard” tier that includes adverts. The reporting focuses on the size of the increase and the new monthly price, rather than broader changes to Netflix’s content or other service terms. The accounts provided align on the updated cost and that the cheapest option includes advertising, suggesting the change primarily affects pricing rather than the availability of tiers.
While the sources emphasize the higher entry-level price, they do not present differing figures for other plans or separate coverage of when the increase begins. Overall, the outlets agree that UK customers are paying more for the lowest-cost ad-supported Netflix package, with the new price set at £7.99 per month.
