Here’s how to cancel Netflix if you don’t like its big price increase

The most popular premium video streaming service in the U.S. is Netflix, with over 58 million paid subscribers. However, those users are going to have to pay more to keep watching all of the great new shows and movies that are currently on the service.

In January 2019, Netflix announced a price increase on all of its plans. The basic plan, with one concurrent stream and video set to 480p resolution, is going up from $7.99 a month to $8.99 a month. The standard plan, with two concurrent streams and 1080p video resolution settings, is going up from $10.99 a month to $12.99 a month. If you splurge on the premium plan, which offers four concurrent streams and support for 4K resolution, the price is going up from $13.99 a month to $15.99 a month.

• In both cases, tap or click on on the "Account" section.
• You will be taken to a web page where you will see a slightly gray box called "Cancel Membership." Tap or click onto that box.
