disney + streaming issues with xfinity internet?

[bdriley]

Hi all,

Disney + app was working GREAT on my home wifi for the first several days, then it suddenly started showing "unable to connect: error code 83".  I spoke to Disney+ and they said everything looks good on their end, and I should check w/ Xfinity/comcast to see if they're blocking the site/app or if they're having trouble on their end.     My connectivity is good.  Netflix and Amazon Prime Movies are working great.  Anybody else having this problem??

Same. Disney+ told me it's a "known issue." They asked me for IP addresses so they could work with Comcast to address it. They also told me I'd get an email from Disney+ IT within 24-48 hours but that never happened. This morning, I checked with Disney+ again and they said they could "assure" me it will work tomorrow. I'm not holding my breath.

It looks to be an edge server issue with the peering networks Disney+ uses. (Run the command “nslookup www.disneyplus.com” at the Command Prompt to see if you’re affected).

Yes. Still having the same issue since 11/24.

I believe that @darkangelic wanted the original poster to perform that test ?

So,  is there a solution?

Here is mine:

nslookup www.disneyplus.com

Server: 2001:558:feed::1

Address: 2001:558:feed::1#53

Non-authoritative answer:

www.disneyplus.com canonical name = www.disneyplus.com.edgekey.net.

www.disneyplus.com.edgekey.net canonical name = e14245.dscf.akamaiedge.net.

Name: e14245.dscf.akamaiedge.net

Thanks in advance

Are you still having problems? 

[Jerry53]

I would have, but solved it on my own.

In speaking to Disney+ again, they said they know they have a known issue with Xfinity modems/routers. They hope to have a solution in 2 weeks.

The more i read on the internet, it became clear it was amn issue with the Xfinity Gateway DNS.

So,, I used the opportunity to buy a new modem and router and stop paying the $13/month rental too.

Works like a charm on the new motorola modem/router.

Thanks @darkangelic
