However, unlike most Australian streaming services, Disney Plus doesn’t explicitly state on its website exactly how much data the service uses. Our friends at WhistleOut reached out to the service’s live chat customer service portal but weren’t able to get an answer when they asked for more information about Disney Plus’s data usage. Thankfully, there are tools out there to measure exactly how much data an app is burning through, such as the iPhone’s in-built data usage monitoring feature.
1.5GB per 40 minute episode 3.8GB per 104 minute movie Data saver: 1GB per 40 minute episode
That translates to 1.1GB per 30 minutes and 2.2GB per hour. Not quite as much as Netflix uses but it’s close. Using the comparison between Netflix (3GB per hour in HD) and Disney Plus (2.2GB per hour in HD) and Netflix’s 4K data usage (7GB per hour) we can estimate that Disney Plus might use around 5.1GB per hour streaming 4K/HDR. It’s also worth noting that, while 4G is perfectly capable of streaming Disney Plus, your home or work broadband connection might be faster and more reliable than your mobile internet connection. If you plan on streaming the entire Star Wars series in 4K/HDR, Disney Plus recommends a minimum 25Mbps broadband speed for the best quality 4K stream. So if you’re currently working with anything lower, you might want to consider hopping on to an NBN 50 or NBN 100 plan for the best results. Here are some of the most popular NBN 50 plans in Australia this month. We’ve put together a full step-by-step guide for downloading Disney Plus content. It’s hands-down the safest way to stream if you or someone in your family is on a prepaid or postpaid plan with a low data allowance. You can also lower the quality of your offline viewing download to Standard or Medium if you want to minimise the amount of data and storage used for your downloads. Here’s a small handful of the most popular SIM only plans this month. You can find our picks for the best prepaid plans in our monthly round-up. As mentioned above, our data saver test-run of The Mandalorian’s first episode used 1GB for 40 minutes of streaming. That equates to roughly 1.5GB per hour. It’s a decent drop in usage but that could still do some damage if you’re capped at 10GB per month. And if you go over, that excess data usage fee could quickly cost you $30 in fees (based on the standard $10 per GB) for 2 hours excess.
