Netflix to Raise Subscription Fee in the United States

Netflix is increasing its subscription fee for the standard and premium plan for the first time since last January.

The streaming giant announced on Thursday the HD standard plan increased by $1 from $12.99 to $13.99, and the 4K Premium Plan went from $15 to $17.99.

The price change goes into effect immediately for new users while current subscribers will get notification 30 days before their next billing cycle.
