Netflix raised its UK ad-supported plan from £5.99 to £7.99 a month — a 33% jump, and its second price rise this year — as "streamflation" pushes streaming bills close to what cable used to cost, with 41% of households saying the content doesn't justify the price. Is this what better shows cost now, or are streamers just cashing in while they can?

Every Netflix tier went up in the UK this September, and analysts say ad-supported streaming prices have now risen far faster than inflation since 2021.
