At Showmax, we’re always working to optimize our service quality, so we've increased our data consumptions rates to improve the Showmax viewing experience.
How has the Data Saving setting changed?
Our lowest setting has moved to 60 MB/h. The 60 MB/h setting delivers a solid experience in picture and audio quality while keeping data use at the lowest possible level.
While the shift to 60MB is a slight increase, we’ve designed it to remain efficient. Our data-friendly settings continue to support affordable streaming and shouldn’t notably impact data usage.

What does this mean for me?
Your maximum data consumption rate will automatically increase for streaming and downloads, based on your Data Settings. This means you'll automatically benefit from these changes.
Our adaptive streaming technology means you should get the best quality available for your connection speed and device automatically, but you can check, and make changes to, your data consumption rate on the Data Settings page in your Account.
