Netflix confirmed a few days ago what was already an open secret: a new price increase that affects all its plans, regardless of whether we have the modality with advertising breaks or not. But, what happens in those cases in which we have contracted the service through an operator?
Over the last few years, we have seen how many operators have relied on streaming platforms to complete your catalog of products and services. In this way, they design convergent packages that include television services at a price that, in some cases, is more competitive than if we contracted separately.
In the case of Netflix, the leading company in this industry confirmed a few days ago what we all feared: a price rise which affected all of their plans, regardless of whether we were subscribers to the ad-supported plan or not. But what happens if we have our subscription linked to our rate? This has been the doubt that a Pepephone user has had: this is how the company has responded.

For now, no changes
From Pepephone They wanted to reassure both the user who had the doubt and the rest of the clients who may have the same, confirming that there are no planned changes in this regard. At least, for now. So if you are one of the customers who has Netflix included in any of the different rates that Pepephone has, you do not have to worry, since the operator does not plan any changes in any of its different rates in the form of price increases.
When streaming platforms increase their rates, This does not always have an impact on your clients’ fees. And, in some cases, mobile operators reserve the right to keep the price of subscriptions somewhat cheaper than if they are contracted independently. Acting as an incentive to gain more customers looking to enjoy their preferred streaming services with cheaper options than those we found independently.
A minimum period of one month
Pepephone also wanted to take advantage of the message published in So we will have more than enough time to assess whether we want to continue with our subscription or decide that it is not worth the rate in question and choose to cancel it.
We are in a time of change in the streaming sector and, as usual, it is likely that the Netflix price hike results in an increase by the rest of the platforms. As has happened on previous occasions, in other measures that have been taken, such as advertising breaks or the prohibition of sharing accounts. We will have to be attentive to find out the next movements by the rest of the platforms and how operators respond in the face of these changes.
