(KTLA) – Netflix has done away with its most affordable ad-free option for subscribers.
The streaming giant has removed its $9.99 advertising-free “Basic” plan in the U.S. and in the U.K., less than a month after it made the same move in Canada.
This change doesn’t affect people who already have the Basic plan, but it does force new subscribers to either sign up for a $6.99 “Standard with ads” tier, the $15.49 “Standard” (without ads) tier, or the $19.99 “Premium” option.
