Foxtel is having to pay Telstra for ADSL until the NBN is rolled out. (NBN prices will be expensive but will be much faster).
Their prices are still cheaper than Telstra.
Telstra basic ADSL/phone deal is $100 for 100GB mobile calls extra capped at $2. If want Foxtel drama and sport it rises to $210 per month with mobile calls extra.
50gb data caps? Welcome to 2001.
That’s a joke! Typical Telstra pricing double the price than most other providers
If you’re going to get ADSL over copper, iiNet or TPG with Fetch TV offers considerably better value.
No mobile calls in Foxtel plans…
Good analysis by Adam Turner in Fairfax.
Andrew g. Foxtel don’t care about existing customers. All there offers are only available to new customers. But here is a hint. Speak with their “loyalty” department. They might be more helpful. They were to me 12 months ago.
Thanks for the update David. I have registered my details on Foxtels website to be the first to know and haven’t heard a thing. Not one single email to announce pricing. So obviously Foxtel don’t care about their current customers
If they had offered an unlimited plan I would be interested but I guess they don’t want to encourage customers to use Netflix or Stan.
No good for me either, Telstra locked me into a contract I can’t get out of
Just got the new FetchTV channels and its great at half the cost of Foxtel
No cable internet access. Talk about a half arsed solution.
