If you are wondering why Netflix took this decision, Netflix (in a statement to Reuters) stated, “We’re updating our prices so that we can continue to offer a wide variety of quality entertainment options. As always we offer a range of plans so members can pick a price that works for their budget.“
For those who don’t know, the Basic plan allows users to stream unlimited movies and shows on a single screen in SD quality. Users can watch content on a laptop, TV, phone or tablet, and download their favorite shows and movies on just one device. The number of screens and downloads increases to two with the Standard plan, along with HD (1080p) streaming support. Finally, the Premium plan supports 4 screens, 4 devices for downloads, and Ultra HD-quality streaming.
