ShowMax is better than Netflix: Naspers

Showmax buffers on a 15mbps synchronous DSL line. Netflix plays in beautiful HD on the same line and never buffers. Enough said.

I had ShowMax support on live chat about buffering issues on fibre. He said he could see in the logs there are issues but that I need to contact them while it is happening for them to diagnose it.

(They probably installed McAfee)

Anyway, testing out the free trial for Amazon Prime alongside Netflix over the next month or so (good excuse, I'm actually after their photo backup solution)

Going to drop Showmax and find alternative means of getting the series they've got exclusive rights too.
 
I know this is an old thread but they are still very far from "better".

No subtitles.

No 5.1 (or so rarely I haven't found it).

No Xbox or PS app.

Sorry Showmax but you have a long way to go before even being on par. Never mind being better.
 
and hulu? haven't they launched here yet? i went on their site this week at work and didn't get a "sorry, not available for you yet" message. been waiting for two months now for metro fibre to get our complex set up (better than telkom - my application turns two years old at the end of this month).

either way, i doubt my wife will agree to a streaming service. our 4month old troll keeps us too busy.
 
Yea you can get right in, setup an account etc - just the payment gives an issue :

We are unable to process your payment method. Please check your payment information or contact your card issuer to enjoy Hulu.

I'm still not seeing this buffering on Showmax, I've only got a 4mbps line
