The damage has been done.
Anyone who resubscribes because of this is an absolute tool.
Don't worry, I never subscribed in the first place. Yaaaarrrrrrr.....
Right? I went from passively refusing to give Disney my (non-existent) money to actively refusing to give Disney my (still non-existent) money.
Ugh. I have a free sub through my internet. Can I cancel that somehow?
Contact your ISP and let them know you aren't interested in a Disney+ subscription and why. Mention any competing ISP in your area has whatever other streaming service, and its tempting because its not Disney+.
The odds of having more than one viable ISP option in the US are slim. I live in a major metro, and it's only been the past couple years I've had a second option. I was living comcastrated for the previous decades.
I live in the US, so I'm unfortunately all too aware. My options are dialup, DSL with speeds I had 20+ years ago, or a cable provider (not Comcast).
Even if they aren't viable (for example, the nonsensical DSL provider I mentioned), they may still have an offering. Mine is trying to give away netflix subs (with speeds that are barely usable). Doesn't change the message to the ISP though.
Guess you just have to cancel your whole Internet then, aw shucks
You laugh, but this is how Comcast dealt with me knowing it was them or 4g wireless internet.
