Foxtel Marketing, i hope you're scrolling through these comments.. you guys need to realise, even at this price, it's not as attractive. Get your act together, get some 4K content, or at least frakking 1080p! Don't charge extra for HD… you guys are a joke thinking it's a bonus to have HD in 2019.

On a side note, $48 is not bad at all, but when you add spotify/netflix/amazon prime to the equation, you're back at ~$100 a month on entertainment.

As me personally, Foxtel is last on that pecking order.

  48 a month is a joke i could pay for a spotify and netflix for 22 a month which js better entertainment add in 25 a montb optus plan i get optus sports and unlimited calls and texts with a top provider foxtel should be priced at 11 a month including gst for all there content
  
  They would make up the difference from the extra viewers and advertising

    Got me stuffed why people are spending that same $11 (or much less) -which foxtel should be charging- on a vpn for torrents and "diverted" live sports broadcasts instead……
    
    Netflix already showed them the way with their low flat fee. Foxtel are greedy grubs who rely on unquestioning consumers to support a US corporate cable model from four decades ago.

  They do have 4K content now… including live sports events and documentaries. Only 1 channel, but still, it's a start… and a shit load better than our "HD" free to air channels.

        @2023: Yeah, I guess it all comes down to the price they have to pay for the rights to sports now… Pretty sure the last NRL rights were over $1 billion, I'm sure AFL was probably more.

It’s not bad if it means no need for a broadband connection, which my Mum doesn’t have, and I get to use Foxtel Go on my iPad, in a different location, at the same time?

What kills it for me is just the Foxtel ads. Ads for Foxtel on Foxtel.

  American cable has been around since the 80s. They fed advertising into paid subscription TV programming, not enough people complained, so Foxtel decided to follow suit and so did its customers. They didn't complain. It will come to the likes of Netflix et al soon enough and not enough people will complain. The cycle repeats.

Kind of surprising this is popular tbh, foxtel were cool before streaming took off on the internet, when you needed to walk in to a store to rent a movie. But now and at $50/m that's a decent internet connection.

      Not necessarily. I've had foxtel installed at three different places (including dish and wall antenna outlet at all 3) and took no longer than 10-15 minutes each time. It's not difficult.

I used to have Foxtel and the biggest issues for me were the ads and only SD for on demand content.

The ads seemed to be even longer than the ads on free tv, and having only SD available on demand was a joke. Who would want to watch Thrones in SD ?

For me I use Netflix, Amazon prime video with an American account with HBO added using a VPN. It works with Australian credit card , just have to use a fake address.

A similar price but I can stream so much content from my Apple 4k in hd and no ads!
- RedFoxAU on 07/04/2019 - 10:46
  
  With HBO do you have to watch it through the VPN too?
  - Nyclix on 08/04/2019 - 18:34
    
    All you do is change the dns server to the one the VPN gives you and you're good to go. You need VPN active to watch HBO.
- Binchicken22 on 07/04/2019 - 19:50
  
  On demand is now HD, but yeah it was pretty lame when they launched it with only SD.

- 2023 on 07/04/2019 - 12:22
  
  Unless to relocate the service, then usually yes you have a cancellation fee.
  Sometimes if they're feeling generous they'll relocate for free, but that usually costs you too.
Bill48 on 07/04/2019 - 12:23

How can I save from these offerings. Looking at my Foxtel account I am paying $92/month with no movies. Breakup is Essentials $53, Sport $29, HD $10 and I have an IQ4.

OnAWhimTwo on 07/04/2019 - 12:28

The price showing for me is $58.

Isn't it kinda illegal to alter the price based on who comes through the door?
- guidedlight on 07/04/2019 - 12:41
  
  Not at all. As long as they aren’t discriminating on race, sex, age, etc… they can charge whatever to whoever.

      Electricity is a great example of where prices are varied for different customers.
      - OnAWhimTwo on 07/04/2019 - 15:02
        
        @guidedlight: Interesting.
        
        I am guessing though that because the price is an advertised price (online is considered advertised) they must honour the lower price.
        
        I simply stated that that was the price I saw and I got it. :)
        
        guidedlight on 07/04/2019 - 16:45
        
        @OnAWhimTwo: It’s a bit of a grey area. But companies aren’t allowed to intentionally mislead customers regarding prices.
        
        So I think in this case, it would be reasonable to expect that Foxtel would honour the lower price.
        
        OnAWhimTwo on 10/04/2019 - 18:12
        
        @guidedlight: When it comes to advertised price (including online), if there is no disclaimer such as "only in certain stores" or "until sold out" they must honour the price. even if its an egregious price error.
        
        The rationale is a price error is equivalent to bait and switch. I have argued this quite successfully a few times with store owners and they have had to back down.
        
        However discriminatory pricing such as charging one price in one store and a different in another store is legal. but I only thought it was legal if there is an obvious reason, such as freight costs. I was not aware the discriminatory pricing law had been changed.

        No, they don't have to honour it. In the case of a price error, a retailer can follow their individual store policy to address the mistake. This means that a store may or may not honour incorrectly priced items depending on their policy.
        
        If a retailer displays an item with multiple prices, legally they must sell the product at the lower of the marked or displayed prices. If they do not wish to do this for commercial reasons, they must withdraw the good from sale until they correct the price.
        
        So, in this case for Foxtel, they either must sell it at $48 (which was the lowest of the multiple advertised prices) or withdraw the offer from sale.

Ok I had a win YAY!

I went onto the online chat. Got the deal at $48 even though I am an existing customer. the only difference is I had to stay with the old IQ2 I couldn't get an upgrade for the device. But that's fine as we have a lot of old recorded stuff we don't want to lose.

Called up to swap my month to month $39 special from last year. They refused to swap so I asked to cancel foxtel instead. They put me onto customer retention's who happily swapped to the new offer. I am locked in for 12 months though.
CBecksT on 07/04/2019 - 15:03

Oh no!! Signed up last week at $58p/m - to make sure I had a decent GOT and could watch the NRL/A league/Masters

- kimba88 on 07/04/2019 - 15:28
  
  Is there a cooling off period you might be able to just say you want to cancel if they don't match it? They might just match it anyway because it might be too much effort for them to cancel then resign you up

  That's how I got the deal and just say $48 they wont ask you to prove it. if they refuse then say no worries thanks for your help now I would like to cancel the service. and then cancel it. your mum can re-apply get the latest set top box and the better deal.

I was paying almost $120 per month for everything except movies (HD IQ2). I just rang them and asked them and asked if I could change to the $48 a month advertised package and they said no problems. took less than 10 mins to save $70 a month. Only difference is I won't get a new set top box because I am an existing customer. Have to remember that it reverts to $88 a month in 12 months time.
- Binchicken22 on 07/04/2019 - 19:57
  
  That's good… maybe they've changed their tune towards existing customers getting "new customer" deals. You didn't have to threaten to cancel and all that? They just gave it to you when you asked?

Hi All ,
I am an existing Foxtel Customer and at first they refused to offer me this deal. I asked them to cancel my account than they started to listen. I was actually ready to get it cancelled If they did not budge. I was on the phone for almost an hour but got what I wanted in the end. I got Sports + Entertainment + Entertainment Plus + Docos + HD + New 4k Box. Also Movies for next couple of Months until end of July for $ 49 a month on a 12 month plan.So for anyone currently on Foxtel and want a better deal.. Threaten to cancel and they should offer you what you want.
Cheers
Albeg2 on 08/04/2019 - 15:56

I called them as well and they offered me the same deal but I would have to pay $58 for the set top box. I thought that it was pretty crazy but this was even getting through to the cancellation team. I'm currently on 39$ for sports and HD. Kinda surprised they wouldn't budge on the $58 fee as I've been with them like 10 years and pretty much could get sports on Kayo or otherwhere cheaper.
- OnAWhimTwo on 08/04/2019 - 18:28
  
  You were doing ok with sports + HD for $39 we were paying $58 without HD before I got this deal.
reneecatherine on 08/04/2019 - 16:35

I was on the month to month $39 special from last year. I called to ask to swap but they refused. Transferred through to disconnections who offered to add drama for half the price for a total of $49. I said I wanted it for $48 as per the offer - they then offered $49pm on month to month basis with price locked in for 12 months, plus 5 Foxtel Stores movies to be used within 12 months! Drama is also interchangeable with movies each month.

Note I still have the iQ3 so no new box but don't need it!
Cripptanite on 09/04/2019 - 15:10

Just contacted Foxtel via chat, currently on the $39 Sports HD package and they advised straight away they could upgrade me to the $48 deal but could not upgrade the box to the IQ4. Stress-free process, done in less than 10 mins!
