Disney Says 10 Million Signed up for Streaming in One Day

While Dish/Direct TV lose millions of customers every year..

Satellite TV will never be able to offer these prices.


The first-day results exceeded expectations of Wall Street analysts, many of whom predicted that it would take until the end of the year for Disney+ to reach 10 million sign-ups. Disney Chairman and Chief Executive Bob Iger has made Disney+ the company’s top priority over the last year, and much of his legacy rests on its success.

However, at just $6.99 per month, Disney+ is an exceptional deal for cord-cutters, and an even better deal for Verizon customers, many of whom are eligible for a free year. Disney is also offering streaming bundles that include Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ for the low price of $12.99/month.

  • I'm a long time customer of Dish Network with no plans at present to change.

    I pay $70/month for Spectrum's 200mbps Internet access. I have pay no subscription fees for streaming service but on occasion, I watch a few YouTube videos (mostly documentaries) but tire very quickly of seeing "LOADING" with a circle going around and around while the network catches up.

    Sometimes I can't get a good signal to my Dish antenna but hardly ever experience problems with rain fade. The actual speeds I see with my 200Mbps Spectrum service leave much to be desired. The mailings and ads I see from Spectrum describe a wonderfully fast network without any delays but my experience leaves a lot to be desired. Calling customer service (which is rated among the worst in the nation - right down at the bottom with AT&T) is an effort in futility.

    The cost of staying connected is outrageous and an overall rip off.
  • Sorting out which service will be the best will take some time.
  • I sold my stocks and already took profit.

    I should have bothered to find out what channels are included. My wife is addicted to MSNBC with Rachel Maddow as her political mentor.
