Note that Netflix just increased their prices this month. The standard service is now $17.99 per month, and the premium service is $24.99 per month.

I find this very strange because if you have anything but a 4K Samsung TV you will see many movies in 4k Dolby Vision and if you have a Samsung TV you will see them in HDR. These movies will definetly be at a noticably higher resolution and brighter. There is no way to not notice it. But, depending on what you watch, you may be watching 1080P content on Netflix so in that case you won't see any difference.
Along with this information, another reason to dump cable and stream no matter which Internet provider you use is because the cable companies are not sending all their content at 1080P. Much if it is still at 720P. Your TV will be upscalling it to 1080P or 4K in most cases but that upscaling is not a substitite for higher resolution content. I helped a couple switch from Xfinity to Quantum with Youtube TV using 4K Roku streaming devices and without any prompting from me they mentioned the picture looked a lot sharper to them after watching content for a couple of days.
