Netflix said Thursday that it's raising the prices of its U.S.-based streaming plans — a move that could disappoint some fans even as it helps support the costly original programming that's made the service so popular in recent years.

The cost of streaming video giant's basic plan, at $8 a month, will remain unchanged. But its standard plan will now cost $11 a month, up from $10, while the premium tier will rise from $12 a month to $14. The prices are already in effect for new sign-ups and will be rolling out to existing customers later this month, Netflix said.
