Netflix revealed on Wednesday that it is no longer offering its Basic Plan for new or rejoining subscribers in the U.S. and the U.K. The Basic Plan, which was US$9.99 per month, did not have ads, and it allowed for one stream, as well as downloads to a phone or tablet for offline viewing. Subscribers currently on the Basic Plan can stay on the plan if they do not upgrade/downgrade or cancel it. The other plans remain available.

Netflix dropped the Basic Plan in Canada last month.

The other plans include Standard with ads for US$6.99 per month; Standard without ads, supporting two streaming devices and download targets for US$15.99 per month; and Premium, which features Ultra HD for four devices simultaneously and download for six devices for US$19.99 per month.
 
Offline viewing seems really OP in terms of Netflix usability. But not anything else would catch my eye.
 
If I had another streaming service which gives me better services than what I get from using Netflix, I would have stopped using Netflix by now. I never enjoyed using Amazon Prime, if not I would have gone over to them.
 
We dropped Netflix awhile ago. They seem to be still going downhill while trying to maintain some customer base. I think people just prefer other Streaming Services. We have cable now & with it, free (but limited) Streaming Services that come with it. We don't need to pay extra.
 
This is unfortunate news for people who dont want to pay more for Netflix streaming, but still want to watch Netflix exclusive shows and movies.
