If you're anything like me, your world just got a whole lot brighter with the recent announcement from Unifi. As a relatively new (6 months old) Unifi customer after I have dumped Astro, I'm practically dancing with joy over the news of a free upgrade to Disney+ Hotstar Premium! I was so worried that the customers like me will have to bear the cost of the new Disney+ Hotstar Premium subscription no thanks to the price hike by Disney.
Free Upgrade to Unifi's Disney+ Hotstar Premium
Thank goodness Unifi has chosen to absorb the cost for us existing customers. However, I understand that not everyone will be in the same upgraded "premium ship" like mine. Let's dive deep into this delightful development and explore what it means for us, the loyal subscribers of Unifi. And let me tell you, had this upgrade not been on the horizon, I might have been faced with the tough decision to bid adieu to my Disney+ subscription.
Disney+ Price Shocking Adjustment
Remember when Disney+ Hotstar adjusted their subscription prices? That had many of us wringing our hands. I totally did not expect Disney+ to make any "bold" price adjustment due to their relatively limited content offering. But thanks to profit-driven intention, we are all caught off-guard. Then, like a hero in a blockbuster movie, Unifi stepped in with an announcement that turned the tide. For those of us ALREADY enjoying Unifi TV Packs bundled with Disney+ Hotstar (like me), we're about to be treated to the platform's Premium Plan at no additional charge. Thank you very much Unifi! So, keep your eyes peeled for the 24th of April 2024, when this enchantment begins.
The Importance of This Free Upgrade
In the competitive arena of streaming services, finding value is key. Amidst a sea of options, Unifi's kind gesture not only enhances our viewing experience but also affirms their dedication to customer satisfaction. The FREE leap to the Premium Plan means access to a more extensive catalogue of content, including high-definition blockbusters and exclusive series. That means, I will be sticking with Unifi longer.
Understanding the Fine Details
However, it's crucial to note that this perk is reserved for existing subscribers. As aforementioned, new subscribers aiming for packages like the Unifi TV Ultimate Pack will start with the Basic Plan. It's a clear signal from Unifi: loyalty comes with its rewards. So it pays to start early I guess. Glad I made the switch last year.
A Hurdle for Some
It's worth highlighting that those subscribed to Disney+ Hotstar as an a la carte or quarterly add-on will enjoy the Premium benefits only until their current billing cycle concludes. To maintain these privileges beyond that point, an additional RM9.90 per month will be necessary.
Personal Reflections on this Upgrade
From my perspective, this free upgrade changes everything. The looming possibility of cancelling my Disney+ subscription due to budget constraints had been a cloud over my head. This move by Unifi not only secures my subscription but elevates my consumer satisfaction and loyalty.
Concluding Thoughts
In an era where content reigns supreme, receiving more without additional expense is a phenomenal victory. As I eagerly await 24 April, the prospect of diving into an expanded universe of premium content provided by Disney+ is exhilarating. This gesture by Unifi transcends mere access to more shows and films; it's a meaningful recognition and reward for customer loyalty that impacts our viewing habits and financial planning. A heartfelt thanks to Unifi for this wonderful surprise! In challenging times, gestures like these make all the difference in keeping morale high and entertainment accessible. I'm looking forward to countless hours of premium binge-watching, all thanks to this thoughtful upgrade.
