| Pros: |
- A huge network with enough content to make three or four networks, won't be surprised if they eventually try that.
- Quality of new videos are very high 1080p with high bitrates to match, they've had the 1080p option for 6-7 years, but the older ones have lower bitrates.
- Two new scenes per day, each includes video with multiple format options and a very large photoset/screenshot downloadable zip as well (600-800 photos).
- Navigation continues to improve on all of these large networks. It looks like they're using similar software to run their sites on. Considering the size of this network and amount of different niches, their navigation is bordering on being excellent.
- Fairly impressive number of their sites are still active and updating, which is pretty rare for these big networks in 2016. More detail in BL.
- I'm sure it's subjective, but I like their models as a whole. There are lots of tattoos, lots of implants and lots of big asses. |
| Cons: |
- Download speed isn't that good. Mainly because it's inconsistent. I'm not for sure if they cap members DL speeds, but can say most of mine download at 3.2 MB/s here on Brazzers. I've reviewed other sites where I was getting close to 9 MB/s. That's way too big of a difference.
- Their billing as usual is frustrating. First problem is it has a dropdown box when you're signing up. It recognizes the discounted price you are to receive. The dropdown box has "yes, sign me up to brazzersnetwork for $24.95" or "no, I don't want this special offer". What the hell? Paying full price is beside the "yes" answer? Getting a discount is passing up a special offer? Then to cancel you can either call them, chat with them or email them. There's no CCBill-type cancel option of doing it from their biller's site. You have to just jump through a hoop and hope the person you talk to, chat with, reads your email, cancels your account. They did send a cancel confirmation. |
| Bottom Line: |
It had been maybe 5 years since I last joined Brazzers. I have more than my share of bad stories with Brazzers, but they have the site "Moms in Control". It's a site with women 35-45 that catch their niece, whatever fake relation they come up with, having sex and the older woman joins in. I really like this niche and it was my main reason for joining.
I can confirm quite a bit of the older content has been removed. One of my all-time favorite exhibitionist sites was Asses In Public. It's still here, but is down to 16 scenes. I have upwards of 100 scenes from it (from 2010) on my external hard drive.
That download speed issue is a problem too. I actually have a scene downloading right now and it's an older scene. I've always assumed the more a scene is being downloaded the slower the speed, but this is a scene from four years ago and I'm only getting 3.2 MB/s on it just like I get on the newest scenes. I was on Reality Kings a few days ago and consistently was hitting 8 MB/s.
Good luck with the billing company, ProBiller, I've not had any problems with them, but I've always talked about hating a hassle. That's what you get with ProBiller. How freaking hard is it to make an automated cancel page? And that dropdown part from the cons is just tricky. I've had issues with Brazzers doing similar before. I remember they used to have the annoying cancel page where you clicked cancel and it would say, "Do you want to cancel your membership?" You would click yes, it would then say, "Are you sure you don't want to stay on as a member?" Tricky wording. Looking for people to make mistakes by clicking the wrong answer.
Onto the content, this is where they excel. Moms in Control is one of the very best of its niche. And it already has almost 60 scenes. They then go through their typical Big Tits sites, Big Tits at Work, Big Tits at School, etc... They also have Big Tits in Sports, which is a poorly-represented (across the internet) niche that I like and it has over 250 scenes.
Their update schedule is acceptable with two new scenes per day (across the network, not on each site). Maybe more impressive is the fact that they have so many active sites on their network. As of June 28, 2016:
I'm counting 33 sites. Of those 33 sites, 18 have updated in the last two weeks and a couple others are borderline if they're still updating. That's pretty impressive.
One of the things worth mentioning is that this is very much a porn star network. You will occasionally find a newer or lesser known model on here, but the vast majority are the best known models. To me, that's both a plus and a minus. A lot of this content is similar to what you can find on DVD sites like Videobox, so it makes collecting certain favorite stars frustrating since you might already have a scene that is similar to one you get here on Brazzers, even though Brazzers has 100% exclusively shot scenes.
These are the sites I ended up liking the most:
Moms in Control would rate it around 90 by itself.
Big Tits in Sports would rate it around 82 by itself.
Big Butts like it Big would rate it around 85.
Day with A Pornstar would rate in the mid-80s for a least some originality.
Hot and Mean would rate in the mid-80s, but this site has changed quite a bit over time.
One I thought I would like, but don't is ZZ Series. This is Brazzers attempt at creating something like a DVD with a full theme carrying over for multiple scenes, including a parody of Game of Thrones.
So, there's plenty there to keep me (or you) busy for several months, especially if they're only going to let me download at 3 MB/s.
I'll add something a little different here. I too hate their ads and their embedded videos, those chat girl ads are maybe the worst. Here's what I do:
When you login and are on the homepage, go to the top where it says "Explore", click that and you'll be in a less cluttered, less ad-filled area. By doing this it removes the embedded video at the top and it removes the chat girls completely. Once into this part, the only ads I'm seeing are at the bottom of the page which isn't too bad.
Much like my previous reviews of Brazzers, I think they have very good content, very high quality content, even great navigation, but they could make everything easier, especially canceling. When I have trouble canceling a site that delays me returning more than anything else and it's the biggest reason I chose a 90 score. I don't know for sure how much higher the score would be without the canceling hassle and/or the tricky wording when joining, but I can say it would be a network I would join more than once every 4-5 years. |
