Yes. They just pass it on to their users. When Comcast started charging then to remove the bottleneck a few years ago, it was followed by a price increase. Netflix is not even waiting this time. Streaming prices go up again in early January.

This price increase doesn't have anything to do with net neutrality, it has to do with funding their increasingly debt-fueled content production.
