www.bbc.co.uk
Basic plan: Up by £1 a month to £7.99 per month
Standard: Unchanged at £10.99 per month
Premium: Up £2 to £17.99 per month
Believe there is no change to the £4.99 offering, though whether this news will push people towards that remains to be seen.
I can't help wondering if long term they'd be better moving to just two plans, a 'with adverts' and 'without adverts'. As far as I can see the differences between standard and premium are that you can have twice as many simultaneous streams, and you can watch some programmes in 4K and HDR. Given Netflix's clampdown on password sharing I wonder how many people still need more than two streams. It would be interesting if Netflix were to give a breakdown of the numbers/percentages of people using each tier.
