Bye bye, Netflix's cheapest ad-free plan

• Netflix removed its ad-free "Basic" subscription plan that was $9.99 a month in the US and UK.
• Current customers on the "Basic" plan can keep their membership until they change their plans.
• The move comes weeks after the streaming giant removed the Basic plan in Canada. 

Netflix's cheapest ad-free subscription plan is no longer available to Americans and Brits looking to sign up for or return to the streaming service.
