Verizon Customers Are Getting an Entire Year of Disney+ for Free

If you're a Disney fan who happens to have a Verizon wireless unlimited, Fios Home Internet, or 5G Home Internet subscription, it's time to celebrate: the telecommunications giant has announced it is offering all new and existing customers an entire year of Disney+ for free. The promotion should give a huge boost to the streaming service's initial numbers.

Set to launch on November 12, Disney+ will be the dedicated streaming home for movies and shows from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and more. The agreement will allow Verizon Wireless customers to stream Disney+ on the largest, most reliable network1 and provide yet another reason for customers to choose Verizon for the best content choices available.

Meh. Pass

I hate how everyone has to have their own streaming service these days.

I just want one service with a single unified interface that has everything I want to watch.

I'm fine with there being different package levels of what is included in that service, but I will not sign up for more than one streaming service.

(And honestly, I prefer to not use streaming at all, because their encodes are usually not high enough bitrate)

This is why I was never all that excited for streaming services. At first they sounded great when it was $10-20/month for a limited but good selection. Now it's mostly $50+ for a bunch of junk you don't want, plus add-ons and you end up barely saving anything over regular cable/satellite. The only upside is that there are still a few smaller niche ones and you could always just get a service for 1 month, watch all the shows you want and then cancel.
