Foxtel Binge – the nine months of free Binge from Telstra has expired and to continue it’s  $14 per month. Decided to have a look around and we now have Disney Plus for 12 months @ $10 per month – happy with that.

Just cancelled Foxtel from Telstra. I was on a good deal with Ent + Docs + Movies for $24 for the last 12 months but this time their best offer is $20 off the normal package prices – goodbye.

Having cancelled to return just take to any post office and they do the rest. Make sure you have the return authorization code with you.

As posted 12 months ago struck a deal with Telstra to remove basic Entertainment cost from bundle so only paid $24.10 for Ent + Docs + Movies. This time best offer was $20 off normal package prices – hasta la vista

For those who have, or thinking of getting the Telstra TV2 puck you can now simply add Netflix to your bundled account. Personally I don’t like any of the streaming stuff and prefer the movies package that is a part of my Foxtel from Telstra bundle.

Although still happy with my Telstra T-Box, which Telstra pulled from sales last year and replaced with Telstra TV (stupid thing), I suspect T-Box services will end in the near future – don’t know ??? Today I was browsing the Telstra Foxtel offers when a Chat online popped up, OK Joy lets chat LOL. Advised her that none of the Telstra Foxtel packages appealed to me and that I want to build my own like on the Foxtel website, Entertainment + Movies + Doco…s for $56 bucks. She pointed me to a special online offer (see picture) where after signup I could fiddle with the packages to suit myself…BUT…that required credit/debit verification (no to that) and still includes Sport – which I don’t want. OK…Joy transferred me in-house to Honey (nice name LOL) and we went around the dance floor again resulting in a – done deal !!!

The Sports package is part of the online offer (offline for me) and yes I can remove that at a later date but she’s saying why would I ?

Install – free
IQ2 – free
Entertainment + Movies + Docos – $56 (same as Foxtel)
plus
Sports for $4 = $60 bucks
with
Friday 12th install

I will then remove Foxtel from T-box to recover $40, basically a $20 changeover – happy with that

We have Presto again – last year we had it for 6 months free but it was pretty ho-hum so pulled out in the last month. T-box channel 911 is promoting the 6 month free trial again so tried to take up the offer (again) but the promo code was rejected – fair enough. Anyway…ET getting pretty sick of FTA rubbish so signed up using her e-mail to get the one month free trial. Already setup T-box’s in lounge and balcony and Lenovo 10″ tablet.
