Britons who pay for complementary premium streaming services could be racking up a monthly bill of \u00a3116.21.<\/p>\n

Everyday costs continue to increase with inflation at 6.7 percent in the latest figures. Many popular streaming services are also increasing in price, with Netflix recently upping its prices for its basic and premium services.<\/p>\n

Many families will have seen their bills hike higher in percentage terms than any wage increases and so will want to make any extra savings where they can.<\/p>\n

And they may think themselves savvy at selecting streaming and TV packages that show completely programming to one another, but even if they’re careful, the total spending could be higher than they previously thought.<\/p>\n

It might feel like a simple choice when paying just \u00a317.99 a month for thousands of shows on Netflix, but once you’ve also gone elsewhere to bag similar deals for separate content, it all adds up.<\/p>\n

Express.co.uk calculated how much a person could be spending each month if they splashed out on premium services from five streaming giants in addition to paying their TV licence fee.<\/p>\n

Netflix infuriated customers this week when it increased its prices on its most basic service by \u00a31 to \u00a37.99 a month, with the premium option increasing to \u00a317.99 a month.<\/p>\n

The BBC, which requires even those who only view its catch-up service to pay for a TV licence, faced calls this week to scrap the fee altogether.<\/p>\n

The Government was forced to respond to an online petition calling for the abolishment of the fee after garnering 15,864 signatures.<\/p>\n

Petitioners argued the TV licence is \u201coutdated\u201d and \u201cunwanted\u201d and can push people into debt.<\/p>\n
