What's wrong with the word "increase"? Hike is just used to put a slant on the story. I'm not sure that "up to £24 per year" justifies the tag but it is typical of the exaggeration that goes with stories like these.

I agree - Netflix prices are going up £2 a month - they are not being 'Hiked'

Ah! Never let the truth get in the way of a good story/headline!

However it is all getting rather expensive. To watch in decent screen quality on multiple devices @£192 a year is a lot more than the maintstream competition.

We use the basic plan. Screen quality is perfectly fine and I only ever use one device to download programmes if we are ever going away anywhere. £6.99 a month is very reasonable. Even the £10.99 plan is cheaper than the TV licence, so still good value IMO.

£6.99 a month is just over £83 per year, perfectly acceptable compared to the TV Licence at £159. 
Cancel any time you want and if you use a VPN you can watch content from any country not just the UK.

"We use the basic plan. Screen quality is perfectly fine and I only ever use one device to download"

Thanks for that. I have changed from the 3x devices and h.d. to the £6.99/month one device and wondered whether there will be a big deterioration in picture quality?

You have to laugh at all this headline grabbing "hike"!

What's wrong with "rise"? Same number of letters but less catchy no doubt!
