You can use a VPN for Disney Plus toĀ  access Disneyā€™s bouquet of content as you wait forDisney Plus to be made available inĀ  your country or region.Ā 

Disconnect other devices from Internet Source: When multiple devices are connected to one Internet source such as a router or modem, they share the available bandwidth provided by the source. When streaming content, it is advisable to use a dedicated Internet connection so the streaming device can utilize all the available bandwidth for a pleasurable streaming experience.

Download Content for Later Viewing: One of the major advantages of streaming services over cable TV is the ability to enjoy content at any time and on any device.

One way to still enjoy content regardless of Internet speed is to download the content to the applicationā€™s storage for later viewing.Ā 

Use Lower Streaming Quality: By default, streaming websites and their respective applications automatically set their playback quality to the highest or ā€œAuto HDā€. To reduce data consumption and have an uninterrupted streaming experience, reduce the playback to stream in standard definition such as 360p and 480p.

Close all other applications: This tip is specific to those streaming with devices other than a Television. It is advisable to quit all other running applications on the device as they consume the device’s RAM, potentially slowing down the applicationā€™s run cycle and interrupting the streaming experience.
