I was shown this offer from Foxtel which is alright for 1 month. Comes with every channel including Sport, Movies, Comedy and Music channels for $25 (only valid for one month) and free installation with NO lock in Contract. Other inclusion are iQ2 equipment (online orders only) $0.

I personally wouldn't stay any longer than 1 month due to it going back to the original price, although you can negotiate a better price after one month, but highly unlikely you would be able to get it for $25. Probably approximately $70 is more realistic….

Here are some basic T&Cs:

Platinum HD Online Offer

Every channel pack

Foxtel iQ2 & Foxtel Go^

$25*

for the first month, no lock-in contract

$134* p/mth from month two onwards if you stay on the Platinum HD package

*Min cost $25 on direct debit for 1 month. First month package cost and iQ2 equipment fee discounted for online purchases only. Ongoing fees charged monthly in advance & cancellation occurs at end of monthly period. Offer ends 24-12-2015.

    You'll struggle to get support on ozbargain for foxtel.

      Agreed - I am not a fan also, but thought it a pretty good deal for one month leading up to the Christmas Holidays… Not for me, but could be for someone else hence me sharing it with the Ozbargain community.

    • mathew42 on 06/11/2015 - 16:59

      But you might find plenty of people tempted to order it for December to keep the kids entertained for the first 4 weeks of the holiday. I'm tempted to order it for the grandparents and cancel it after one month.

      At $25 Foxtel have to be making a loss :-).

    I'll cancel my foxtel subscription from June next year for an obvious reason.

    • placard on 06/11/2015 - 13:40

      Why June?

      Edit: Found reason.

          Seems like right to sports - English Premier League - is moving away from Foxtel = no reason to pay $100+ a month for just channels of other random crap and reality show BS and endless ads!

          See more comments below…

    • coprocessor8087 on 06/11/2015 - 13:58

      That's exactly what I am planning to do. One less excuse to stay with them. (The other excuse is too lazy to call them up and return the IQ box)

  • reecho on 06/11/2015 - 12:48

    Jaysus that's expensive at full whack….

    • CrocDundee on 06/11/2015 - 12:49

      Yeah it is ridiculous! I can't, for the life of me, fathom why people would pay full price (or even close to it)! I'm sure most people don't…

      • tehkrohnz on 06/11/2015 - 19:03

        Most people dont, MAJORITY of people will get basic and an extra pack more often than not. Usually either basic and sport, or basic and prem drama.

    Looks like they're starting their intense sales strategy leading up to Christmas trying lure in a new customer base after losing on the EPL deal to Optus. They probably expect a tonne of cancellations in August 2016.

      EPL means "English Premier League"

    Bring the Aleague to Optus too!

  • rjblakel on 06/11/2015 - 13:03

    Semi related question - is there any legal, non-geo hack ways to watch Game of Thrones in Australia without Foxtel?

    EDIT: and not having to wait until the season is over ala iTunes…?

  • partypete123 on 06/11/2015 - 13:21

    Stupid question…

    But what are the alternatives for channels (not movies or series) for foxtel ?

    And is netflix a good option for Movies and series ?

    • rekabkram on 06/11/2015 - 15:28

      Personally I've got a VPN ($5US a month through Unblock-us).
      I use Netflix which I'm lucky someone else pays for, but if you can split it between users then it's a bit cheaper. ~$9AUD a month
      I also watch Hulu, it's good for shows as soon as they've aired. I recommended the ad free pack, I went on us eBay and picked up a ~10 month card for $32AUD

      So for a full year I would pay around $230 for tv shows and movies (because I don't pay for Netflix though mines $116), I watch Netflix from all over the world ( flixsearch.io is great for seeing what's available in which country) and I can see a few good shows as soon as they've aired on Hulu. Best of all they're all ad free and readily available whenever I want.

      If it's any more difficult or expensive than that to watch tv/movies for example game of thrones and walking dead as they air then… Well there's no way in hell I'm paying Foxtel that kind of money for a subpar service filled to the brim with ads.

  • cyrax83 on 06/11/2015 - 13:29

    $134 per month. Lol.

    Archaic service and pricing. Only surviving because of sports

    • tehkrohnz on 06/11/2015 - 19:04

      Also areas with shitty or just no real internet. But yeah, largely sports

    How do they get the iQ2 back if you cancel after the 1st month?

    • Spending2Much on 06/11/2015 - 13:57

      Not to mention you keep the free installation…..

      Wait, what?

    yep foxtel is gonna be in for a big shock when they lose the EPL… i would estimate 10% crash in subscription.

    • notout50 on 06/11/2015 - 14:38

      I've heard 10% as well but I think it may be much more than that, possibly up to 25%. Literally every person I've spoken to is considering getting rid of it once this season is over. Granted most people I talk to are sport fans, but how many Foxtel subscribers aren't sport fans?

      • Xizor on 06/11/2015 - 15:13

        I think 10% is about right… a lot of people "talk". I have been talking about getting rid of it for ages… yet still have it for NRL and A-Leauge. Bastards.

      My brother in law has kept Foxtel all this time for the EPL. He was thinking to cancel his subscription and just get Netflix.

  • [Deactivated] on 06/11/2015 - 14:00

    Enough people cancelling will wake them up to lower the subscription fee.

  • dan76n on 06/11/2015 - 14:18

    Considering the winter sports are all over now isn't $25 even a bit pricey?

    • notout50 on 06/11/2015 - 17:12

      If you're more a fan of international sport, it's better value though.

  • mrwindow on 06/11/2015 - 14:20

    I cancelled my Foxtel subscription over a year ago, mainly due to them subtly increasing the price every once in a while. I enjoyed the AFL channels but not for $100+/month. It has not been missed in my house, we are happy with Netflix and I am ok with FTA AFL, this means I only watch the games I need to watch, not just watch for the sake of it…

    • 2jzzzz on 06/11/2015 - 15:07

      Just keep an eye for a fantasy league where you get a free pack to watch them all live. Been watching the NRl like that for years.

      • Xizor on 06/11/2015 - 15:15

        For the NRL whats the quality of that like on a tv?

        • 2jzzzz on 06/11/2015 - 15:20

          I watch it on my laptop or phone and the feeds have been great. I did once cast it to my 60" TV and it was ok, not awesome, but acceptable.

      • mrwindow on 20/11/2015 - 15:40

        Yes had the live packs this year which helped with fantasy league..63rd overall!

  • corksta on 06/11/2015 - 14:27

  • soloman86 on 06/11/2015 - 15:04

    Canceled my Foxtel a while ago like many are saying not worth it cause too much, too many ads and always nothing good on..
    I do have a mate that lets me use his foxtel GO sub to watch all the sports i cant see on free to air..

    • Xizor on 06/11/2015 - 15:15

      Its not HD though is it?

      • coprocessor8087 on 06/11/2015 - 18:02

        Video quality is acceptable on small screen. On a 10" tablet, if you maximize the video, you cannot see who is kicking the football. It also freeze or crash frequently.

  • Pobman on 06/11/2015 - 15:24

    Took 2.5 years of calls and letters from Foxtel for them to send the return instructions for our IQ2 box after we left. They repeatedly posted it to the wrong address.

  • bleugh on 06/11/2015 - 16:28

    Hmm, good for about August next year when they show constant Re runs of game of thrones back to back, legally watch season 6!!

    Anybody think there is a chance of getting $120 cashback??

  • chuneeperformance on 24/11/2015 - 15:22

    after the first month can we revert to a $25 package or it must be platinum?

    • CrocDundee on 24/11/2015 - 16:30

      I believe you can negotiate to whatever package you want. If you don't like what they have to offer then you can cancel it all together. I would definitely be negotiating the price after the first month! Those prices are just rediculous!! I personally didn't sign up though so good luck with whatever you choose to do.
