Phuket is actually pretty good - quick and dirty review

by starfishrimmer

NB I have no relationship (paid or otherwise) with Phuket, nor have I been given or offered any inducement to write this (brief) review.

I have been using IPTV for about 2 years and have previously had (deliberately misspelled) ASE, PHAB, various others, and currently use 3tern@l, helicks, Be@msTeeKay.

My internet connection is relatively modest (20/6 fttc) on UK SLY

I had a trial with Phuket about 2 months ago and didn't sub because a lot of streams were a bit too buffery. After the Helicks hack I decided to look again and trialled it just before Xmas. It is much better than it was a few weeks ago and is on a par with my other services, although I have yet to see how it performs during EPL.

As such I have bought a month's sub for $5.

There are a lot of channels. All the important ones for me (UK/US/Sports/EPL/Movies FHD/HD/SD versions of the key ones and 50/60FPS on many) plus loads of other countries that I don't need and haven't tested to any great extent.

Most of the channels I have tested properly seem to work well with occasional, minimal buffering as with most.

Communication is good with the seller on Discord. Channel issues are usually fixed fairly quickly. Admittedly his style is 'abrasive' and he doesn't suffer fools/whingers/etc gladly, but for a cheap-as-chips one man service what can you expect?

Price is very cheap, with a recent reduction to $5 per month. No VOD. No Catchup to talk of. No Pron. All the usual payment methods.

I get that he has pi$$ed a lot of people off in the past due to his CAPS LOCK/prices/grumpiness/etc and that he is a reseller (gasp!).

I also get that some people like to see a professional website powered by WHMC with a 24/7 discord channel modded by lots of (slightly creepy) groupies and wannabees, but hopefully the slightly clunky approach will keep him below the radar of the authorities.

TLDR: This is a cheap service which is better than it ought to be for the price. In my experience, only 3ternal and some annual subs offer this quality for the price.

I will now don my tin hat and wait for the stream of bile that is no doubt coming my way

LOL all these australian losers who signed up for the AUS fox sports channels have now realized that it’s been taken down loooololol. “jay would never do this to us, hopefully the “engineers” are working on them” loooool 😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😞😭😂😭😭

hey mods, is it okay for the reseller to tell their subs to go spam a review ???? not surprised he has been banned from this subreddit. so now he’s asking others to post on his behalf. perhaps all reviews of this provider should be banned from this sub. https://i.imgur.com/A2PtfgF.jpg

This Pukima/Phuket seller is one of the worst I had came across.

DISAGREE. But each person has to choose their own.

Yes he has a lot of channels REMOVED you will mean.

Been bragging about ' HIS " exclusive fox tel channels, well they worked for about 1 week before they went offline, and now they are already removed from the channel list,

It is just waiting for other popular channels, that are not offline yet, to get removed as well.

Yes his service is cheap at 5$, however it can be had for 19$ a year elsewhere, but I rather pay 15$ a month for something that is reliable than 5$ for a service that has many issues and a admin with a chip on his shoulder who throws his toys out of the pram as soon as he get any objection.

Of course he has a a few brown noses in his discord, who think they are respected , but it is just waiting for them to speak a wrong word, and they will be booted as well.

it’s absolute cringe how some of these brown nosing noobs speak on discord. do they understand there are other iptv providers out there other than just FUCKET ??? https://i.imgur.com/bfX0K2Z.jpg

Looks like our hothead/chip on shoulder man lost it again, shouting and insulting members, with the usual lies included of course.

No Mr Fucket those channel which you claim to be still available in the non custom setup are NOT there anymore, they have ALL been removed for never to return.

Stop lying to your customers, especially lies they can verify by simply login to the non-custom setup.

By the way ALL Australian Sports are also offline, probably will be removed soon as well.

This service is China based, nothing created by fucket who is only a reseller, and now be honest have you ever received anything from China that was quality or could be trusted?

All the Chinese are interested in is control the market, read kill the competition, with low prices then when the money is received you'll never hear from them again.

Wow! Can’t believe the level of vitriol in here. I have been a subscriber to phuket iptv for three months and I find it perfect for my requirements, which is pretty much just football, especially EPL. I have had a few other subs over about three years and hand in heart can honestly say for what I want phuket is by far the best I have tried. I watched three games today on three different channels and can’t recall a single buffer or glitch. That is unusual as like all iptv services there is normally then occasional buffer/lockup but even at its worst it’s still been far better than others I have used. I can’t comment non things like Latino, Spanish, Italian or German streams as they hold no interest for me, but on the odd occasion I have watched U.K. channels they have been fine. I do use a vpn on days with big games or several premier league games on, but that’s down to isp blocking and would be the same whatever iptv service I use. So it’s a big recommendation from me. Just one thing in response to the abusive poster. Yes Jay can be abrasive and doesn’t suffer fools gladly but he seems to be online and available about twenty hours a day! I honestly don’t know how he manages it, so possibly lack of sleep causes tetchyness at times, but money grabbing? No way. I had a sub With him for another provider that went down with the big take down. When I mailed him asking if it was likely to be reinstated he daud he felt it was unlikely as they weren’t responding to his messages. He then gave me a FREE three month sub to Phuket iptv. Now he didn’t have to do that and I know he did the same for several others. Now THATS what I call customer service, not being careful not to upset snowflakes!
