Binge is a streaming service from Foxtel designed to go head-to-head with the likes of Netflix and Stan. If you're curious about what a budget-take on Foxtel looks like, here's everything you need to know about Binge.
What is Binge?
Binge is a streaming service with a heavy focus on TV shows and movies. Its content library covers prestige drama, sitcoms, reality, crime, documentaries, animation and, more recently, sports.
Binge and Kayo are Foxtel creations and fall under the same umbrella, Hubbl (formerly Streamotion). Customers can set up one account to link each subscription, but more on that later.
How much does Binge cost?
Binge pricing starts at $10 per month for the entry-level service with ads in High Definition (HD) and one simultaneous stream.
If you upgrade to it's Standard subscription for $19 per month, you will get video quality up to 4K HD and two simultaneous streams.
Binge's top subscription tier, Premium, costs $22 per month and gets you the same streaming quality as Standard but four simultaneous streams.
No matter how much you spend, you'll get access to every TV show and movie on Binge.

Since HBO Max branched off into its own streaming service back in late March 2025, Binge has lost quite a bit of content including, The Last of Us, Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon and The Sopranos.
However, Binge continues to boast a robust library of favourites, with thousands of hours of TV and movies from partners such as Discovery, Animal Planet, LifeStyle, Showcase and more.
Binge is still home of popular international series like Saturday Night Live, Ted, Outlander, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Taskmaster, The Office (US) and The Walking Dead.
You'll also find plenty of locally produced shows like the award-winning RUN, Mr. Inbetween, Colin from Accounts, Selling Houses Australia, Real Housewives of Sydney, The Twelve and STRIFE.
Best internet plans for Binge
Since Binge streams up to 4K, we recommend an NBN 50 plan to get the best experience. While you could drop down to an NBN 25 plan, an NBN 50 plan will cover you if you do end up streaming on the maximum four devices it offers all at once.
With download speeds of up to 50Mbps these plans are ideal for handling seamless streaming, with plenty of bandwidth to spare for your other online activities.

Binge FAQs
Binge's data requirements differ depending on if you're viewing via standard definition (SD), high definition (HD) or ultra high definition (4K).
Viewing content via SD on one screen per hour uses between 300MB and 500MB.
Viewing content via HD on one screen per hour uses between 1.5GB and 3.25GB. Binge doesn't provide specific details on 4K data consumption but you can expect to use between 7GB and 8GB per hour.
Generally, it's recommended an internet connection with download speeds between 12 and 25Mbps for optimal streaming performance, but that's assuming there's nobody else in the house using the internet.
| Stream Quality | Data Usage Per Hour | Data Usage For 30 Hours |
| 360p | 0.3GB | 9GB |
| 540p | 0.5GB | 15GB |
| 720p | 1.5GB | 45GB |
| 1080p | 3.25GB | 97.5GB |
On mobile, Binge can still stream at speeds as slow as 1.5Mbps (what many unlimited data plans are capped at if you go over your primary allowance).
Binge is fairly light on features some of them include:
- Up to 4K HD stream quality on Standard and Premium plans available on compatible devices
- Up to four simultaneous streams on Premium and two on Standard
- Bingelists, lets you create a watch later list for each Binge profile
- Access to over 40 live channels, including DreamWorks, Sky News, CNN, Fashion TV, Real History, CMC, Seinfeld and more
If you have an existing Kayo account and you link your Binge account to it, entering new credit card details will automatically update any existing credit card information across any other Hubbl subscription you have. This is a handy feature if you're using a new card that is about to expire on your other Hubbl accounts.
