What is "Basic"?

I'm in the UK and I'm on the £10.99 "Standard" plan. Is this what they mean, because there isn't a £15 plan.

I wonder if it's region specific, I'm on Basic in Canada and it's $9.99 and I believe limited to 720p. This was my compromise to switch to with my wife to not cancel during the the last price hike, but she's just agreed we're done when this plan goes away. We've invested in a boat and will sail the high seas even more.

It could be, moving to that one during the last hike was my last compromise.

I don't watch Netflix, so if they try any more then I'll tell the kids to just watch something else.
