Anyone else tried watching on Foxtel Play?

It's $50 a month for Foxtel Play.
Which is a bit rude considering its delivered using infrastructure, bandwidth, and data from my ISP that I was already paying for.
I could have watched it on the big-screen using a PS3 or 4, bu considering how bad it was on the small screen, I didn't bother.

Supposedly streaming everything is the way of the future. Not if this is any indication.

I used "Foxtel Go" this season which as I understand is just Foxtel Play but for people who have a full Foxtel subscription. I don't actually have Foxtel but just pinched the username and password off my brother in law to use Foxtel Go. I had the application running on a mini PC attached to my TV.
My internet connection is NBN, 25Mbits so not blazing, but good speed and much more stable than ADSL.

I found the quality reasonable even upscaled to my 60" Television. It wasn't High Definition, but it was passable. Usually when first selected it'd take a while for the stream to sort out what quality to deliver so it'd go from being a pixelated mess and then within 10 or 20 seconds become clear as it pumped up the stream to a better resolution.

Only issues i had during the season was that I went to watch one game and the software decided it needed to update to work so that was 10 minutes of a game lost while it updated and rebooted. There was also an occasion when the software errored tying to stream anything but that was apparently a bug and it started working again of it's own accord later.

I found the whole deal passable especially since i wasn't paying for it. I would pay for an NBL streaming solution if they offered a high quality stream on a platform that allowed me to display it on my television.
