Netflix's ad-supported plan is here. But is it worth it?

that an ad-supported tier would be coming to the service, the company today released details on its new Basic with Ads subscription plan.

According to a Netflix corporate blog post announcing the ad-supported tier, the new offering won’t have any impact on the pricing of its current plans, which range from $9.99 to $19.99 a month in the US, £10.99 to £15.99 in the UK and AU$10.99 to AU$22.99 in Australia. Not all current programs will be available on the ad-supported tier “due to licensing restrictions,” according to Netlix. As to the number of blocked shows, the company estimates that “about 5% to 10% of overall programming won't be available depending on the country.”that users of its Basic with Ads tier won’t be able to download shows, a capability provided to its Basic, Standard, and Premium subscribers.We can’t say we didn’t see this coming.

For some viewers, the omission of shows from the ad-supported tier could be a deal breaker since many subscribe based on buzz about a specific show. Yes, maybe not everyone wants to watchafter forking over a monthly fee? No thanks!
