Disney launched its much-hyped family-friendly Plus streaming service Tuesday, but some subscribers ran into technical difficulties hours after its debut.

Users took to Twitter early Tuesday morning to say the commercial-free service, which costs $7 a month or $70 for the year if paid upfront, is currently not paying off.

The website downdetector.com received more than 7,000 reports of connection problems, according to Seeking Alpha.

The company previously boasted its streaming service saying subscribers would be privy to more than 500 family-friendly movies and 7,500 TV episodes. In five years, that number is expected to swell to about 620 movies and 10,000 episodes as existing deals with rival streaming services expire.

The service is poised to set the standard for other services like WarnerMedia’s HBO Max and NBCUniversal’s Peacock to follow, as major media companies behind hit TV shows and movies seek to siphon the subscription revenue now going to Netflix and other streaming giants.
