Netflix scraps cheap ad-free plans in bid to drive users towards expensive deal

[Oggiman]

Netflix added nearly 6m more subscribers over the spring as a clampdown on password sharing forced customers to fork out for their own accounts.

The company gained 5.9m paying customers in the second quarter of the year – taking the total to 238.4m. It was well above the 1.8m additions anticipated on Wall Street.

The bumper subscriber figure came after Netflix started a crackdown on millions of subscribers that share their logins with friends and family. It is thought that a quarter of Netflix’s 15m subscribers in Britain share their password.

Not watched Netfix since the Dreaded Household message, not missed it.

Surprised they gained so many subscribers, obviously the right choice for them.

Starting today, Netflix will move ahead with its plan to crackdown on password sharing in all the countries that were not the part of the first phase that went live earlier this year.

Netflix expands its password sharing crackdown to over 100 countries including India

same here. I have about 7 or 8 family members on mine. Not sure is there ever concurrent access as i have access to a plex server that has 100+ times whats on netflix but it would not surprise me if there was regularly concurrent streams on it.

Id say as long as the IPs accessing are in same country you are good
