They have to be very careful increasing by that here especially with the way other household bills are set to rise.

You can be sure the UK price rise is on it's way in due course and will be a similar price raise.
As MM said they need to be careful with how living costs are rising.
Other streamers need to be careful too on their price rises, as do the likes of vm, sky etc.

So, first they just announce they are making as much money as expected, then they need to increase prices.

I get prime for one month a year (to cover Christmas) but tbh, the more they put it up, the less even that looks a good deal anymore.

Although to be fair BT Home Essentials, BT Home Phone Saver and BT Basic aren't increasing.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat

Now that prime has moved a lot of its TV output to advert infested IMDB.TV it's looking even poorer value.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat

DAZN blown out of the water by Discovery in the bid for BT Sports.

The article I read in the Telegraph, suggested DAZN continually raised conditions as each was resolved they raised another.

The main stumbling block may well have been DAZN wanting BT to underwrite any customer cancellations after the deal (which BT refused outright)

Still a nail in the streamer coffin OB

Same here I sub to Netflix and Prime, anything else I watch via the CinemaHD app or Kodi, I'm certainly not paying for every service.
