Streaming Comparisons

On the advice of my children (because I know nothing) we signed up for the netflix free trial

 

Might rethink our foxtel package

Re: Streaming Comparisons

It was the simplest registration ever and took no time to set up, the other thing is you can pay with paypal so if we decide to stick with it after the trial we wont have to worry about paying the bill.

We have the platinum with 2 outlets so I logged on to telstra as we get our foxtel through them to see exactly what we are paying and it had our address as foxtel service in WA lol so I have put through an enquiry.. I think we pay roughly about $140 per month.

 

I am going to go into the Telstra store and sort it out and get rid of movies for a start.

 

If you have plenty of data usage available it is worth doing the free trial for a look, there isn't sport it is movies and tv shows. Basically you could get the 3 main ones for less than half the price of foxtel with NO ADS!

We went for the 4 screen option so basically we can run it on the main tv, two ipads and my computer.(all at the same time) We have put our individual names so it can guess at the types of movies etc us as individuals like.

Re: Streaming Comparisons

We pay $130. I don't use it at all and the 15yo has probably moved on.

My husband however doesn't watch free to air at all, so maybe we could lose one box and check out netflix.

 

Love the no ads bit...that was the reason for foxtel way back when.

Re: Streaming Comparisons

I'm paying about $120 a month so if I change to Foxtel Play which has sport I'll save about $50 a month. I think I'll save that much anyway, just wanted to speak to someone at Foxtel to confirm but i think they are paid to be pleasant but unhelpful!
