Martin's tweet sparked a strong response. Many people say they will now cancel Amazon Prime as a result of the price increase.
@de519n said: "I'm going to cancel Prime & Netflix and I also have YouTube that I pay for That’s £40 a month saved." @MrWButterfield wrote: "Just had the email. What a hike. Blooming cheek. Can't live without Amazon though. What to do?"
@gazzas89 said: "Or, everyone cancels because of the price hike, you'll see amazon quickly drop that price back down." @VoxLibero said: "That's way above the fictional gov't inflation figure. So, £12 more p.a. if you pay monthly and £16 more if you pay annually. A 12.5% increase on the monthly fee and a whopping 20% increase on the annual fee."
@floozy666 asked: "How do Amazon justify 'only' 12% increase for monthly payments but 17% increase for those of us that pay up front?" @Mikes_Brother slammed: "To all those shouting "It's only a Pound" It's a twelve percent increase. Accept that on everything..."
However, some people don't understand the outrage, and
