1 Joey13371  · Constantly suggests and pushes woke agenda and tv shows, every tv series/movie is a dumb man with a female lead. Everything is just slop.
1 Clint  · Useless. Bring back OptusSport or any other provider. Never works, always buffers.
5 Graham  · Prompt service from Liam, Nastasia and Pele was excellent. Problem resolved but not ideal. Why is Stan not supported on Bravo
5 Adrian Robinson  · Excellent troubleshooting support from Kieran, Tom (Thomas) and Ben. Thank you.
5 Bethany B.  · Love using stan. I needed to cancel this month due to finacial issues and i was helped and given a refund by an amazing worjer thank you so much - Pele

Been paying Stan Australia for approx 1 year to view tennis tournaments world wide men’s singles . None of the matches Iwanted were screened. I’ve been robbed and tricked . There is no way to ever speak to them re accountability . One of the worst apps. Don’t be tricked into joining STAN. Save your money as bd distress .

Absolutely disgusting service for the amount I pay every month. Can’t ever watch anything without this st^pid white circle constantly appearing in middle of screen going around and around while whatever it is I’m TRYING to watch pauses while it’s happening. Contacted Stan “support” no help at all. Tells me it’s the latency being too high, yet… Read more

every other service I have is having zero issues and I can play Stan on my phone no problems - it’s literally only on my tv. Extremely frustrating and unacceptable!

I had been watching a series each night after work and suddenly from Thursday night I was receiving an A20 error code. It didnt matter what content I tried to view in Stan, i was receiving the same error code. I first assumed it was an issue with Stan, so left it for 24hrs. (My other streaming services were all working fine). After attempting to… Read more ·  1

power cycle the modem, the Google TV, deleting and reinstalling the Stan app, none of which worked, i contacted Stan. The responses i received from Emma, Nastasia, Matthew, Ken, Pele & Ben were fast and the steps to try were very easy to understand. They offered fantastic support and were very patient. In the end, the only resolve was to reset the modem and enter the ISP settings again.

Definitely recommend Stan for the content it offers and also the customer support it provides. Thank you for all of your help with my issue.

I had a lockup issue with Stan where I couldn’t move past the error message and I sent a request for help through the email portal on the app, I quickly received a response from Pele at Stan that guided me through the error which fixed the problem, I would highly recommend Stan to all that want a fantastic product with fantastic customer service and support to all, thanks again to Pele , Geoff Show reply

Literally the worst service ever received. I canceled my account, they then put it back on and continued to charge me and when I contacted them for a refund and finalised cancellation, they returned 1 of the 3 months after 10 emailed back and forth. They play dumb, go around in circles and ignore your concerns until eventually you give up or they… Read more

just make the choice for you. Waste of time dealing with them. I’d just email them the issue and then go straight to ACCC and fair work NSW.

This streaming service is a waste of money. Constantly glitching, buffering or displays error screen. I had this same problem 2 years ago and thought it may have improved in quality, unfortunately 2 hours trying to watch a series and have barely made it through the 1st episode. Will cancel service immediately and request refund. Don't waste your sanity or money on stan. Use a different streaming provider.

Had stan for a few years and things ran very well. Recently (past 3 weeks) everything I watch keeps pausing to buffer. On both 5G and hime wifi (1000Mbs very fast) network. When I try to get help it takes them half an hour minimum to reply to each message and most messages ask questions I have already answered. Seems like im talking to a bot. Will be cancelling my subscription.

Lure of 30 days trial and charge for subscription – Terrible Service. My son registered to this service on a 30 days trial. After a few days, he could not login to the website and app. Exams came he did not login for a while. Stan doesn't give any reminder or notification if trial period is ending. I was charged $21 for premium membership without any prior communication. Luring customers with 30… Read more

days trial and not notifying when they are about to be charged for their first payment is not professional. All it takes is just an automated email however they won't do it because it takes their revenue away irrespective of if customers need them or not. Short term thinking. When requested for a refund through customer support, they were quick to respond that they can cancel for the future only.

The baseball World Series is NOT shown on PREMIUM STAN SPORTS. I would understand if it was just called Stan sports, but called premium one is expecting all types of sports. World Series is a huge fan based sport even in Australia. Kayo has it why not Stan. .

I find Stan really disappointing. It’s hard to navigate on my TV, and when I finally do get into a show, the episodes load in bits and pieces, you completely lose momentum. We’ve been trying to “watching You, but it’s absolutely hopeless. I don’t understand why you put a whole series on and then make people wait weeks for new episodes to download. Netflix is so much better. I think Stan is a waste of money and I’m cancelling my subscription. Show details

Content is good for me but it comes with continuous buffering and glitches. Whenever I stream football, I can reduce picture quality, makes no difference, the stream keeps glitching - AV briefly drops, interface pops up for 5 secs. This will happen many many times over the course of one match, live or recorded. Watching a drama, I often get… Read more

buffering issue, which has different symptom, the circular buffering icon centre screen. Sometimes the stream gives up completely here.

I have a fast NBN connection. Usually I use wifi but I've tested wired, makes no difference. Other streaming services have their occasional bad days, but with Stan it's continuous. Every single show I watch has issues.

Stan will suggest you try lots of different things but it seems quite clear to me that they are the problem.

Absolutely useless, unwatchable, glitchy POC. With the latest and greatest LG OLED TV and 5G network connection that works flawlessly on every other device and app platform. Of course I signed up to Stan to watch The Surfer and received continuous A30 errors that were unsolveable over 3 hours. The app is purely unusable. Subscription cancelled and refund requested.

My credit card number was blocked by my bank due to unauthorized access by parties unknown (no losses, fortunately) just days before my Stan subscription was due. I had hoped to get a new card/number sent to me before my payment date to Stan, but it was late arriving and I went a few days past the payment date, resulting in a message from Stan… Read more ·  2

informing me of this. I notified Stan of my problem and was pleasantly surprised to receive a response from Pele in customer support within a mere minute or so. He very kindly informed me that Stan had given me a month's credit on my payment, so that my subscription would not be cancelled and I could continue to stream while my situation was being resolved (it now has been). I was extremely impressed with the prompt response and address of my issue. I have to say, this was one of the best online customer support experiences I have had. Thank you Pele, and thank you Stan!

I renewed STAN after many years of not having it. Well I don't think it will go beyond a month. So many LGBTQXYZ shows. Drag Queens. [Content Removed]. Are you serious. Next problem is that I'm watching something that is for normal people and the show freezes. This has now happened about 10 times and I've only had it 8 days. I have to turn the TV… Read more

off and back on after after waiting 30 seconds. Really STAN. I'm pay $17.95 and this is what you provide. I'll try out other options but if this is what you offer I'm gone.

Get your identity politics here! – Almost all the content is leftist-identitarian. If you’re someone who isn’t interested in watching stuff that’s gay, drag, trans, queer, girlboss, African-American etc. there’s very little on offer. That’s fine if you’re up for it, just be aware that it seems to me to be including more and more of this content over time, and less and less that… Read more

appeals to the average bloke.

Most of the movies and shows set in rural Australia, on the other hand, almost entirely portray small towns as being full of violent racists covering up dark secrets. Scrublands, Black Snow, Two Heads Creek, The Tourist etc.

For a service so committed to representation they sure are pretty unkind to rural Australia. But I guess stereotypes are all right when you’ve never driven further from the city than Tullamarine.

In a mood to binge, but then.....problems arise with buffering, Stan Techies save the day! – Hi Stan, the issue I have had with Stan buffering are resolved now but I did have support from Andreas to try an option to resolve, then Angus to try an option to resolve, and Ken's advice finally resolved the issue I experienced with this. Their advice was prompt, clear and professional. Keep up the great trouble shooting! Show reply

Terrible customer service – For start no phone number to contact anybody. 2ndly get a text message saying will help, you give information and nobody replies for long periods. 3rdly paying a subscription that covers 2 people and 2nd person cannot sign in. 4th Navigation to get to support is to be desired.
