Cheapest Way to Stream Netflix in Australia
Usually, the cheapest way to stream Netflix was to get someone’s Netflix account and watch it free. However, this option would eliminate soon because of the Netflix password sharing crackdown. Currently, the crackdown is under the testing phase but soon, Netflix will introduce two-phase verification that would send a confirmation code to the real account holder.
Since this account sharing (the cheapest way of streaming Netflix) may no longer be viable, the cheapest way available to stream Australian Netflix is by getting the basic plan for AU$10.9 per month.
