hi @jinksey 

No rhere are no adverts - it is the old Netflix Standardwithout adverts

You do get Basic level as standard butw hen you pay for Netflix via SKY, the Netflix level just depends on other SKY add on packs :

https://www.sky.com/help/articles/netflix-faqs

Netflix Basic plan (1 screen + SD) as standard  (although I think this is now HD )
Netflix Standard (2 screens + HD) by adding the SKY HD pack
Netflix Premium (4 screens + UHD/HDR) by adding the SKY Ultra HD pack (requires the HD pack first)

These SKY add ons of course apply to SKY content as well as opening up Netflix levels

P.S. When you pay via SKY, you cannot, currently, add the 'extra member' add on for use by family members not in your physical household that is available for those paying directly to Netflix

So if you already have or wish to benefit from the SKY add ons this can work out cheaper than via Netflix direct for the higher levels in particular

Note that you won't find reference to Basic on the Netflix website because they no longer offer it as a direct subscription: it is however the Ultimate TV baseline product through Sky.  As  @nigea99 indicates, it's no advertising, lower resolution and only one screen in use at a time.
