Verizon Will Raise The Price for Heavily Discounted Netflix & HBO Streaming Bundle
| Cord Cutters News • • business
Key Points:
- Verizon Wireless will increase the monthly price of its discounted Netflix and HBO Max streaming bundle from $10 to $13 starting May 6 or the next billing cycle, impacting thousands of subscribers.
- The price hike is a response to recent subscription fee increases by Netflix and reflects changes in partnership agreements, though the HBO Max portion of the bundle remains unchanged independently.
- Eligible subscribers on certain unlimited mobile or home internet plans will see the new rate automatically, representing an additional $36 annually, which may prompt some to reconsider their subscription choices.
- Verizon uses these bundled streaming perks as a strategy to attract and retain customers amid competitive pressures from rivals like T-Mobile and AT&T, integrating entertainment with wireless services.
- Despite the increase, the bundle remains competitively priced compared to separate subscriptions, and Verizon continues to expand its perk offerings, encouraging customers to manage their plans through the Verizon app or website.
