STAN is a complete waste of your hard earned money.
I signed up to STAN to check the selections and it was not very good, so I decided to cancel the subscription. Not only they charge $17 per month, but they also charge $20 for cancellation, including writing a letter (another wasted time and effort). Who charges cancellation now adays for movies subscription? Never again, what a complete waste of money that was. DON'T EVER WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS. Just use FREEVIEW which is much better than this subscription.
Genuinely the worst streaming platform…
Genuinely the worst streaming platform to exist. The Stan sport package is so bad it’s not even worth watching the games. You can’t, it constantly buffers and lags. And my internet is fine everything else works completely fine. Their highlight reals are the most half arsed videos you will ever watch. Please give the football rights back to Optus so we can all watch our football in peace and happiness. You’ll be doing everyone a favour
Unauthorised credit card charge
Last night I was trying to find out what it cost to get a new Stan plan and I clicked ‘Reacivate Account’ expecting to be given further options. But it simply charged me $12 to my credit card without further options or confirmation Really poor and deceptive business practice. I would give a zero if I could.
Absolutely appalling that you have to…
Absolutely appalling that you have to buy subscribe to stan in order to get stan sports which the minimum offer is 27$…. I just want to watch the football… and on top of that the connection is so bad and constantly buffers and some of the camera angles at time are terrible…. I wish i could give this lower then 1 star
Stan sport = rubbish streaming
I have fibre, even if you watch Stan sport replays it drops out, rubbish, complete rubbish
separate sport to a standalone…
separate sport to a standalone offering. Forcing people to buy a basic package for loads of garbage they don't want and then charging them again to add sport as an extra is a really bad plan
Trying to unsubscribe from Stan
Trying to unsubscribe from Stan is almost impossible. I have spent so much time on this issue with no result. VERY frustrating 😡
Why is your programming so short of…choice
Why is your programming so short of good programs. I have not seen anything good on Stan since Yellowstone finished. Shameful choices. I will not renew.
Appalling coverage from start to…
Appalling coverage from start to finish!!! Could not hear the sound of spectators, public announcements or even the starters gun because the commentators are an order of magnitude louder!! Never got to feel the olympic atmosphere at any time throughout the entire coverage!!!
Olympic coverage
Signed up for Olympic coverage as I thought the commentary would be better. No commentary at all on most of the replays. Absolutely rubbish.
Stan capacity issues
It's annoying that you need to pay for Stan and Stan Sport when I only want to watch the Olympics. I feel that Stan has over subscribed and doesn't have sufficient capacity. I frequently am unable to login on my TV and I regularly get booted out usually at a crucial stage in an event ( especially as it can take forever to get back in. I feel as though I've been robbed.
Very annoyed at Olympic Coverage!!
I subscribe to STAN and added the Olympic component at extra cost to watch the Gymnastics. An Australian qualified for the All round final. I did not see her once perform any of her routines. She was not shown at all even though she was in the Top 10. I got to see competitors from other countries a few times but didn't get to see Ruby Pass from Australia even once. If STAN wants Australian subscriptions, they need to give a more rounded broadcast that features a mixture of competitors. I am so annoyed!! I am considering cancelling my full subscription altogether.
STAN Sucks
Been using Stan for years with no issues. Latest update has broken it. Olympics impossible to watch, freezes and hangs, rugby and other sports doing the same. KAYO here I come.
I’m sitting here trying to watch the…
I’m sitting here trying to watch the Olympics and the streaming is horrible. I have to keep rebooting my modem and turn my tv off and on. This is just nuts.
My internet is not slow and my tv is relatively new and I do not have this issue with any other streaming service. Beyond horrible.
I am about ready to discontinue STAN altogether.
Horrible glitchy service that requires…
Horrible glitchy service that requires you to log out and log in constantly.
Promotes its self as the Olympic channel and the asks. Subscribers to pay MORE for the privilege.
The people in charge have lost their minds.
Signing up for Stan Sports for the Olympics is impossible
And Stan will wonder why no one signs up for Stan Sports to watch everything at the Olympics. I found it impossible. I was directed back to the Apple TV app and couldn’t find any options. We want to watch the people we know competing.
So frustrating.
Half the programs cant be viewed from…
Half the programs cant be viewed from my tv. Just says add to my list and that doesnt work. Its rubbish. I will seek a refund
Better content required
Better content required, instead of all the international crape.
Stan Sport an add-on what a rip
Why is Stan Sport an add-on? I'm only interested in sports, so it feels unfair to bundle it with movies. I'm tired of juggling multiple streaming services.
It's frustrating how sports are divided across different platforms – Premier League on Optus, Serie A on Bein, and needing Stan for Olympics and Tennis, not to mention paying extra for sports add-ons. It feels like they're taking advantage of us.
Why can't Stan Sport offer a sports-only option? It seems like they're prioritizing profit over customer satisfaction.
stan rugby you are joking!!
I'm over it I've just watched another test match ( nz v eng) which once again was extremely dissappointing in its dismal coverage, 10 minutes to go I have to watch with substandard picture before it breaks down altogether with un watchable coverage (other internet services are unaffected), I have to put up with constant pop ups telling me about things I will probably never be interested in
I have spoken to Stan support about on demand super rugby games jumping ahead by about 40 mins thereby spoiling the game and its outcome
they said there was a problem with LG TV's that they were addressing, but this has been happening for over 3 years with no change in poor performance
and then there's the spoilers, I sit down to watch a few games only to be told the result before I even watch the game
All this for only $31 for a month, as I said, You have to be joking
maybe you could let another channel cover it that knows what they are doing
