ADVISORY: JUANFLIX STREAMING ISSUES

Dear Mga Ka-Juan,

We are aware that some JUANFLIX subscribers using PLDT and Smart networks are currently experiencing difficulties loading or streaming films on the platform.

Our initial assessment indicates that the issue is related to third-party network and technical services, rather than the JUANFLIX platform itself. Similar issues have also been reported by other customers of our media player provider.

While the issue is outside the direct control of JUANFLIX, the FDCP is actively coordinating with our media player provider, the concerned network, and technical providers to help resolve the issue as soon as possible.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work closely with our partners to restore a smooth viewing experience.
