Every Netflix subscriber – and most everyone else who reads or hears the news – learned a couple of months ago that Netflix was drastically increasing their rates. (Scroll down to July 12th's entry.) Instead of $7.99/month for one DVD at-a-time or $9.99/month for one DVD at-a-time plus unlimited streaming, the DVD mailing service would remain at $7.99/month and unlimited streaming would also be $7.99/month. There was still a combo plan, but it was $15.98/month – no discount. Apparently the price increases were necessary to better reflect the costs of the services and to help them compete with other streaming services.
