- Netflix users in Britain pay £7.49 per month for 3,000 films and TV shows
- Users of video streaming service in America pay £7 per month for 5,600
Netflix customers in Britain only get half the titles available in America, it was revealed today.
- UK users of the video streaming service pay £7.49 a month for a selection of 3,000 films and TV shows on the standard plan, while in the US it is about £7 ($9.99) per month for 5,600 releases
But the California-based company - whose service is now live in almost 250 countries - is clamping down on these proxies, having announced two months ago that it wants to stamp out the practice.

It's the end of an era in Rapid City as the Blockbuster movie rental experience comes to a close.
Eric Seljeskog says, "It was a family experience. People would come in with their whole family. It was an event just coming to the video store, almost as much as watching the videos themselves."
Back in 2011, all of the corporate Blockbuster businesses were shut down -- but the franchises, like the locations here in town, could still continue to operate.
The store on Anamosa Street is one of the last remaining Blockbusters not just in the country, but in the world.
Eric says adaptability and a good customer base was what helped keep the franchise afloat for a couple more years.
Eric took over the franchise in 2000 -- running the business for over a decade -- calling it one of the most fun businesses he owned.
Eric attributes part of the pull away from movie rental stores to online streaming with websites like Amazon and Netflix carrying movies you can download with just a click -- never having to leave home.
Seljeskog says, "The other thing is the DVRs. People are recording more shows so the video stores aren't quite the experience they used to be."

This simple Netflix trick could revolutionise your movie recommendations
These profiles are designed for different family members and friends – and should stop your significant other's dodgy movie picks from affecting your recommendations.
A maximum of five profiles can be set-up per Netflix account, but that's more than enough to help you customise the content you fancy watching.
Setting up these profiles makes it quick to find content you feel like watching, rather than trawling through endless lists of programmes.
It also stops you confusing Netflix with the blend of film genres and shows normally associated with one person's account.
Netflix recently announced a price rise for some of its services.

Netflix is putting up its UK prices for legacy customers
Prices for Netflix will be rising for some users, as the streaming video service ends its legacy pricing for long-term subscribers.
Netflix offers three package tiers in the UK, Basic, Standard, and Premium. The first, at £5.99 per month, allows users to log in on only one screen at a time, and only offers standard definition picture quality.
standard at £7.49 per month, gets you HD content (up to 1080p), and access on two screens at once.
The Premium bundle bumps up to 4K quality (as long as your internet connection can handle it) and allows up to four screens to be logged in simultaneously
£5.99 per month, a price most will still be paying. That will soon be ending though, as Netflix support has confirmed to WIRED that the £5.99 legacy pricing will be rising to the current £7.49 that a new member would pay – a £1.50 increase
The increase follows a similar move in the US, where long-term customers currently paying $7.99 for the Standard package will be facing a two dollar increase, taking it to $9.99 per month
"Later this month, members in the UK will begin to be ungrandfathered," a Netflix spokesperson told WIRED
