Disney+ keeps freezing on commercials  - makes it an excruciating experience to watch.   Why is this fixed yet?  There have been complaints about this for years!!!!

I'm telling you Xfinity. If you don't fix this Disney+ Ads freezing and crashing problem, you're going to lose a ton of customers. 😡

I was on the phone with a Disney+ and Xfinity agent today! Disney+ fully admitted that it is their problem/issue and they gave me a $30 One month credit because of it.

I am one of the original posters to report this issue and after a few back and forth exchanges with the so-called Xfinity online experts, I have been sitting back to observe the additional communications that have transpired over the last few months. I am appalled at the lack of technical expertise, intellectual curiosity, attention to details and an overall lack of desire to devote resources to fix this issue displayed by every Xfinity technician who has chimed in along the way.  READ all the f'in posts before asking each customer the same useless questions and suggesting remedies that do not work. Read this very clearly Xfinity... ONLY WHEN USING THE X1 CABLE BOX, ONLY THE DISNEY+/HULU APP FREEZES DURING COMMERCIAL BREAKS AND WILL NOT CONTINUE UNTIL BACKING OUT OF THE PROGRAM WE ARE WATCHING AND THEN HIT RESUME BACK TO THE COMMERCIALS. SOMETIMES THAT WORKS, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. WATCHING AN HOUR LONG SHOW TAKES 2-3 HOURS BECUASE OF ALL THE INTERRUPTIONS. WE HAVE ALL HARD RFBOOTED OUR CABLE BOXES, CHANGED THE SETTINGS, REMOVED THE CACHE... DONE ALL THE SUGGESTIONS AND IT DOESN'T DO JACK SH_T.  THE ISSUE IS THE HANDSHAKE BETWEEN THE X1 PLATFORM FOR WHICH WE PAY MEGABUCKS AND THE DISNEY+/HULU APP. IF WE WANTED TO WATCH THIS APP VIA STREAMING, WE WOULDN'T NEED THE X1 BOX, WOULD WE?  FIX THE ISSUE! CONTACT DISNEY+/HULU, AND GET THIS DONE NOW!
