If you are not satisfied with the impending change, you can contact the customer service center for more information or, if you wish, purchase a new cable plan.

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH DISNEY?

Since its digital platform was created, in which we can find series and first-run films, it has been involved in the competitive streaming market, having Netflix as its main rival. This would be one of the reasons why it would seek to bring all its contents together in one destination, without having alliances with other services.

Not only is Netflix and Disney Plus available in the region, but there is also access to the HBO Max, Amazon Prime and Apple TV+ catalogs. The success of these platforms has led to a considerable increase in the number of subscribers, in addition to improving the quality of their services and productions.

It should come as no surprise that many of these original creations have been nominated and won in major film and television awards.

DISNEY PLUS PRICE IN PERU

The price of Disney Plus in Peru is from S/25.90 per month, so you can access content on the platform from series, movies and documentaries.

You can buy Netflix on your smartphone, tablet, smart TV, laptop or streaming device, all for a monthly fee from S/24.90 to S/44.90.

For HBO Max, you can start your subscription with a basic fee of S/ 19.90, which allows you access to exclusive content, as well as productions from Warner Bros.
