Streaming
If you’ve been watching television, reading magazines or going just about anywhere lately, you’ve probably seen ads for companies like Stan, Netflix or Presto. If you’re wondering what these are, they’re the major players in the new wave of home entertainment: the online streaming service.
Streaming is watching any content on the Internet where you watch it at the same time as you download it. Stan, Netflix and Presto, as well as a few others, are services that have extensive libraries of content, which for a small monthly fee, you can stream through your computer, most internet ready devices or smart TV.
For the best streaming you need fast broadband, which is where providers like Telesurf come in.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a landline phone?
That depends, but probably not. If you have a reliable mobile phone with a reliable network then that will probably take care of all of your needs. Some people still like the idea of having a home phone though, and the cost of calls should be slightly cheaper on landlines, so if you make a lot of phone calls, it might make sense to have one.
What can I watch on Netflix, Stan and Presto?
All the Internet TV providers offer very different content libraries. To save you time, we’ve put together lists of what is offered by the all of them.
What movies and TV shows are available to stream?
Movies available on Netflix, Stan and Presto.
Television shows available on Netflix, Stan and Presto.
Will streaming make my Internet slower?
It shouldn’t, but it can. Streaming is a quite an intense activity, in broadband terms, and so may slow down the Internet on other devices. If you’re finding your Internet running a little slow, you might like to consider upgrading to a faster service - possibly even the NBN.
What is the NBN?
The NBN stands for the National Broadband Network. It is a government program designed to connect almost all of Australia to super fast Internet. The rollout is ongoing, so to see if it’s available in your area visit their website.
