Netflix price hike means there's never been a better time to jump ship to a free streaming service

A person pointing a remote at a TV, blurred in the background is the Netflix interface.

I've begrudgingly remained a Netflix subscriber despite the fact that I barely watch any of the new Netflix Original shows, instead sticking to older and non-Netflix titles. However a new change means that it's prime time to jump ship.

In early February Netflix enacted a price hike in the UK, with the ad-supported plan going up by £1 per month and other tiers seeing meatier increases in cost. This follows similar changes worldwide. As a current subscriber, I didn't think that my fees were going to change, but Netflix has just emailled subscribers announcing that, from April, existing members are going to have to pay more too.
