Previously used Stan, cancelled ages ago, however recently received an email with a $2 a month for 2 months to re-activate the account on Basic Plan. Well, ignoring content, the continual buffering... See more

HOW TRUSTPILOT CARES FOR REVIEWERS
With a 1-star rating and an 89% disapproval rating, one wonders why on earth those geniuses at Trustpilot don't have an "AVOID AT ALL COSTS" notice affixed over this bucket shop operation - I guess TRUSTPILOT
just simply don't give a ---- about their reviewers or customers!
Poor streaming speed
Poor streaming speed, movies constantly buffering. Netflix, kayo and prime have never had this issue so not an internet issue.
This is the worst streaming service in…
This is the worst streaming service in the history of streaming services! Also the most expensive. Buffering, freezing, dropping out, restarting, rebooting, and then doing it all again. Don't ever try & watch a sporting event on it live!
If I wanted to watch ads
If I wanted to watch ads, I can do that on regular television. I refuse to pay for a service that's double dipping by charging to use a service, then ramming ads in my face.
Poor Service Stan. You can do better!
Stan - Fix your software! Last night, watching the rugby half an hour delayed, the stream ends half way in the second half and we get the post match interviews with the final score. Happened last week too!
Either provide a service or get out of this business because what you are providing is woeful and unacceptable.
Stan customer support is WOEFUL
Stan customer support is WOEFUL! Haven't been able to use STAN since A25 error code. One email from support telling me to do what I'd already done.... then crickets! Another response two days later to say it's been referred to tech support... still nothing. Made numerous requests they refund last months' payment & we'll cancel subscription, still no response!
Not impressed and won't be back.
Scam! Avoid!
I signed up for free month trial offer, and I cancelled the same day to ensure I was not renewed "at the standard monthly price". However after the free month trial ended I was charged $37, as the plan was upgraded to the highest cost including sport add on. After numerous communication with accounts support they claim it wasn't cancelled, and refuse to refund the $37. Logically, if it wasn't cancelled, it should have carried over to a entry level plan, and have the option to cancel immediately, not one month from now. Shady business practices. I'll be following up with the ACCC
Basically stole $27 from my bank…
Basically stole $27 from my bank account! I never watch sport and they've charged me $27 for old content that never changes. Stay away from these thieves!
Fact
Fact: If a live Rugby game is not completely finished, I.E. Live, YOU CANNOT GO IN TO THE STREAM AND FAST FORWAD WITHOUT AN ISSUE, I.E. FAIL STAGGERING, TIMING OUT, only when STAN has an actual repeat of the said telecast, that has finished the live telecast can you view and skip the beginning to the actual game and even fast-forward, shame on you STAN, you should have refunded for this issue. Kayo does not have the same issue, never has, but us Rugy fans pay a premium. This will be "for sure pasted on Reedit and Rugby platforms Rugby Planet etc.. Where is is my refund for this BS service
Poor video quality
Poor video quality. Might cause eye soreness. Movie collection isn't competitive enough. Overly expensive.
Evil - tv series
Stan only has 3 seasons of a particular show - Evil. There were 4 seasons produced. My question was what is the point of this? It's frustrating that if I want to watch Season 4, I have to go to Paramount Plus. This means that I will cancel Stan.
I watch Stan all the time and i can't…
I watch Stan all the time and i can't say it's that bad.
I have just found out that Stan has…
I have just found out that Stan has been charging me for 3 years for a subscription I didn't want and cancelled after the trial period. After I cancelled and stopped the service it no longer was available on my TV or phone and yet was still charged for it from 2022 till hopefully now 2025 one thousand dollars later cyber trickery BS .
Does not connect more often than it does.
Stan continually sends messages on no internet connection, when Netflix, Prime, Apple all working perfectly. Sick of wasting money on them!
I pay for Stan
I pay for Stan, am watching and it goes off, says no internet connection. Yet every other subscription service works fine, Binge, Kayo. Apple, Netflix. So clearly it is not my internet connection. It is the hopeless, ripoff Stan that is the issue. Give my money back.
Robbers
I am so disappointed in Stan. My husband is on a pension. They are still taking out their monthly fee when it was cancelled five months ago and you can’t get anybody.
We’ve never even watched it the robbers.
I entered my bank details and they took…
I entered my bank details and they took there amount for the subscription and now can't log in
Old content, nothing worth watching
Its been over a year since we had Stan and just signed up to realise there isn't really any new content. Just heaps newly added old movies. Within 20mins of searching I can see we wasted our money as I can't see a single thing worth watching. Should really be able get a refund as we haven't watched anything, but no. The business model looks to be designed to pretend to sell pastries but only give stale crumbs with no customer satisfaction.
Got Stan and was charged for sport
Got Stan and was charged for sport, cancelled immediately no refund. A joke
I've been with Stan for over 6 years
I've been with Stan for over 6 years. For the most part there's nothing to watch but I kept the service going as my wife likes to watch reruns of Will & Grace occasionally.
I recently had an email saying to update my card or my service will be discontinued (after payment had been taken). When I queried it I received nothing but smartarse responses, even gaslighting telling me that I received the email the day before. I mean, I have the timestamp of the email, and I find myself getting lied to by a streaming service lol!
I would have kept it going but not with awful customer service like that you have got to be kidding me. They're more interested in trying to prove the customer wrong than provide actual service.
