Today, Free subscribers are waking up to double bad news. On the one hand, Disney + disappears from the services offered with the Freebox Delta, Pop and mini 4K, just a few months after its appearance. In addition, the recording quota is reduced from 100 to just 10 hours. Any excess will be charged at the rate of 2 cents per month.
Faced with the rise of streaming services, French operators are scrambling to attract subscribers by offering subscriptions. Free is no exception to the rule: in 2020, the troublemaker of telecoms hit hard by offering Disney+ to its users on the Freebox Delta, but also on the Freebox Pop. The Freebox mini 4K will also return to join the ranks. To take advantage of it, simply activate the promotion manually from the customer area.
At least he was enough. Indeed, the latter has since disappeared from all boxes. It is no longer possible to activate the 6 free months. For millions of users, it is therefore back to square one: you will have to pay the subscription of 8.99 euros per month to access the streaming service. A very bad news, which unfortunately does not come alone.
Free reduces the recording quota of its boxes to 10 hours
On Tweeter, it is with a simple response to a user that the operator announces the color. ” IFreebox Revolution and mini 4K subscribers with multi-TV Player Pop or Apple TV now officially benefit from 10 hours of recording included with the OQEE application». As a reminder, this quota was previously set at 100 hours. It goes without saying that the excess will be billed to the subscriber.

Thus, any additional hour will cost €0.02 per month. An additional cost which may not be felt on the invoice, but which could annoy the most keen on television and cinema. If you have already exceeded your March quota, don’t panic, this measure will only come into effect from April 2022. As Free explains, Freebox Pop and Freebox Delta subscribers are therefore not affected by this new feature.
