Netflix price to increase for 17 million users, most don’t know it (yet)

If you’ve been a longtime customer of Netflix, your bill may be going up starting in May.

According to Business Insider, approximately 17 million customers were grandfathered in 2014 at a price of $7.99 per month for a subscription. This is 37 percent of U.S. subscribers.

Research by JP Morgan found that about 80 percent of the customers that will be seeing the price increase didn’t know it was happening.
