7. Cancelled ESPN+ last night, same issue
Thu Sep 18, 2025, 05:01 PM
Thursday

Tried at 5 and 7pm Pacific, just spun.

So ESPN+ is basically for 2nd tier athletic events, in my case college football games.

Now I would guess on a Saturday they would easily have 100k plus people streaming so hard to believe 100k plus were logging on to cancel, so my guess, they are purposely throttling, taking servers offline.

I finally called, was directed to log in at the ESPN website and then could cancel.

Best thing, you get the standard “why” survey. Pick “others” and you can tell them exactly why they lost your business.
