Hi there,

I'm in the process of moving house and need to make an important decision about NBN Broadband and Foxtel. What better place to ask than my fellow bargain hunters who also appreciate good quality service and value for money…!

I currently pay $138 per month with Telstra and I get unlimited cable and Foxtel Entertainment + Sport + HD for $138.

Now i'm moving, it's my opportunity to scope out the best deal for the next 12 months.

Option 1: Stay with Telstra and change my plan to Telstra NBN Unlimited and the same foxtel deal for $125

Option 2: Get standalone internet with Aussie Broadband for $79 unlimited THEN do standalone Foxtel for $58 per month = $137

Would you recommend ABB + Foxtel or stay with Telstra?? Have you had experience with Telstra NBN and if so, is it better than ABB?

Thanks in advance

    Option 3: ABB + Foxtel Now (or just Kayo if you don't need the rest of it).

    You can see NBN speed tests from ACCC if you want to compare providers overall: https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/internet-phone/broadband-p…

    Then find your POI: https://www.aussiebroadband.com.au/nbn-poi/

    And check ABB's capacity there: https://www.aussiebroadband.com.au/cvc-graphs/

      I've heard the ABB offering is very good compared to Telstra?

          Thanks @tuzii

          Do you have the 100mbps speed pack? Or is that the 45mbps product and you experience those speeds

              @[Deactivated]: I had the same, then when my 24mth telstra contract expired so did my free speed boost. Needless to say I had to negotiate it back. Cheeky buggars.

    • MoonlapseVertigo on 09/05/2019 - 15:38

    I thought these new deals were for new customers only? You're an existing Foxtel customer.

      I have the option to sign up under my wife’s name she’s not an existing customer :)
