Check the reviews on Kayo - awful buffering and problems with cancellation of subscriptions. I will be interested to hear about your experiences with it.

I have had no problems at all. Performance is excellent and I recently cancelled my subscription and rejoined to take advantage of their lower cost offer. No problem. Buffering problems could be caused by the internet service provider or the user's network of course?

I think many end users just do not have suitable home networks and a lot of the NBN and Streaming problems relate to the home equipment not the services.
FWIW, the Kayo App seems to automatically drop the definition in preference to freezing the action, so if you have a lot of traffic on your home network and the router can't keep up you find you're watching in SD or lower resolution. Much the same way Youtube works when on automatic quality.
Also with Kayo, cancelling isn't a big deal, like Netflix and Stan they are happy for you to start and stop the subscription, you don't need an annual contract like Foxtel or others.

How did you rejoin? I thought they blocked you using the same information (i.e. name, email, phone number, credit card). They should just see you as resuming your subscription not as a new member.

My Kayo experience has been great as well. The 'Mini' replays are great, especially for cricket where you get an extended highlight package.
Also don't underestimate the ability to 'disappear' to a quiet corner of the house and watch a live game on the ipad. It's gold!

The offer is open to new and returning subscribers as long as you are a Telstra customer. You need to access it via the Telstra portal. No problem at all.

I've always been a FTA kind of guy, even in recent years with all the paid / streaming services, but that ability to disappear to watch a game does sound rather enticing.
