Hi guys,
I just found Telstra now have a big promotion for Foxtel.
Entertainment + Drama or Movies package for just $20 per month for first 12 months.
Entertainment + Sport package for just $29 per month for first 12 months.
Entertainment + Sports + Drama or Movies package for just $49 per month for first 12 months.
Platinum HD package for just $111 per month for first 12 months
You also get Free Foxtel IQ3 but you need to pay $100 for installation cost.
HD should be freaking Standard now and charge for 4k
agreed. total BS
4k on foxtel?
You'll need HD, the SD is poor.
720P is considered HD.
Pretty sure Foxtel is 1080i - not even proper FHD :(
Very few shows or movies are 1080i. Mainly 720P, can see the aspect ratio show up occasionally on my TV. I pay all up $165 a month basically to watch F1, basketball and Indycars. They need to give a great sports deal package or in 1 month I'm leaving and just watch live streaming for free. Don't want to support the farce that is Foxtel.
Can I install the IQ3 box myself without paying them $100?
As I already have the antenna and cabling installed from previous fox promo they will just send me the IQ3 box and we "self install". Telstra will charge $25 for the self install.
So, first month fee is $20 plus $25 for a total of $45. Next 11 months will only be $20/month.
Did you order on the phone or in-store? Can't find an option to do self install online
I rang 1800676088 as per op's attachment. It's a Telstra call centre. You can buy this deal on this number of you self install as online option is with $100 installation only.
Do you get the $105 back from Cashrewards also ?
Sorry existing customer so can't signup.
"Min cost $340 includes $100 standard installation, $0 iQ2 box or iQ3. "
Am I reading it right that it's $100 installation for IQ2 as well?
yep thats my understanding. both boxes are $0
Still too much. Ill never forgive the politics that gave us fraudband.
So sign up, and then cancel at the 12m mark, and have them extend it at the same discounted price for another 12? :)
Is this for new customers only?
Or just get Netflix for less.
People usually get Foxtel because they're the only company that shows sports. That's they're greatest asset and they milk it for everything. Sport fans are forced to pay ridiculous money to watch as nobody else shows it fully or has the rights. Can't stand this monopoly bullshit. Really want to cancel it soon!
Has anyone managed to get HD thrown in free as an existing customer?
If I'm a Foxtel direct customer (only on the basic entertainment pack, but already have an IQ3), could I switch to billing from Telstra and get this?
I can't believe they still charge for HD these days.
Does non-HD = 720P?
Wondering if sport would look shite on my 70" 4K TV.
