I presume ad-free will eventually take over with the same price, after the other 2 plans increase.

It's likely with the household changes we will see an end to the old plans that were based on screens and we will have 2-tiers, ads & no-ads.

Netflix will only get more expensive from here and the ad plan was always meant to make the 'Premium' plan look better.

I just dropped ours down to 2screens, for now..I still think we may well cancel fully. But, we'll see.

I went 2-screen Turkish account for $4/m, works fine in Australia.

Uh, say more about this... Do you have to have a Turkish credit card/address?

I set up with my local AUD card, after my Natflix AU was no longer active with a subscription, I bought a Turkish gift card for the first month, with the original AUD debit card still being on the account.

My bank doesn't charge fees for foreign charges.

I also just bought the ad-free cheap month, then asked Netflix to revoke it and refund me.
