Netflix limiting to one household.
I've been with T-mobile since they acquired Suncom in 2007. We have 7 devices on our plan (6 phones and a watch). Our plan was the first to offer free netflix and we're on that same plan to this day...

Netflix is verifying log ins now. I recently signed into one of my TV's in my house and got hit with it but verified it.
From what I read is that Netflix will charge $7.99 for out of network sign ins.
The $7.99 is for direct Netflix accounts, not Netflix through third parties, such as T-Moble. The following is a copy and paste from the Netflix website. (I added the underline)
The account owner will need to purchase an extra member slot, then invite an extra member to use the extra member slot. The extra member must be activated in the same country where the account owner created their account. Extra members cannot be added to Netflix-included packages or third-party billed accounts.

Appears Netflix is dropping the Basic plan, which T-Mobile only offered to one-phone plans. Guessing that T-Mobile will now offer the Netflix Standard with Ads plan instead.
I suspect that you are correct about that.
At least, this Netflix change does not affect existing customers. I have only a single line that qualified for the Netflix Basic plan, but I opted to pay the difference to upgrade to the Premium plan. So, T-Mobile pays the $9.99 for Basic, and I pay the $10 difference for Premium.
I suspect that the Netflix on Us promotion will be modified to offer the $6.99 plan with Ads. And an upgrade to Premium will cost $13 instead of $10. Anyone who has not yet subscribed to the Netflix promotion should do it now before these possible changes are implemented.
Netflix’s changes, which do not affect existing customers, leave new customers with the choice of a $6.99 per month “Standard with Ads” plan—the cheapest Netflix offers—as well as a $15.49 “Standard” plan, which allows for two simultaneous streams and 1080p full HD video quality, or a $19.99 “Premium” plan, with up to four simultaneous streams and 4K Ultra HD video.
The company eliminated its $9.99-a-month “Basic” plan and now estados on its support page it “is no longer available for new or rejoining members,”
