Prepare yourselves, Aussies...
Netflix’s one household policy, one meant to crack down on password-sharing between friends and extended family, has now been rolled out to New Zealand, Canada, Portugal and Spain.
The implementation follows a trial that started in Costa Rica earlier this month.
As per our previous reporting, the new system will keep track of your IP address and ensure that you’re accessing Netflix from a single, base location. Devices like smartphones and tablets — which will naturally leave your household alongside the people attached to them — will need to access Netflix from that single household’s location once per month.
If you’re adamant to share your Netflix account with members of a different household, you can add additional households for $8/month in both Canada and New Zealand, €4 in Portugal or €6 in Spain.
We’ve reached out to Netflix here in Australia to see if they’ll confirm when the policy will be rolled out locally (and what additional users will set us back).
