If your a Telstra customer you can get Kayo for $15 a month for 12 months.

New or existing customers. Existing customers might have to terminate and then re activate. I have 3 Kayo accounts as I kept taking the bet easy free 3 months while it was going. I am just going to cancel current account at the end of 3 free months then re activate 1 of my others for the current $15 deal.

New Kayo account only need a new email address and phone number (phone is only for activation code), you can use same CC on different account. Just use a partners or kids phone and/or email or set up a new Kayo account.

^Thanks Johnno. Less motivated than you to have multiple accounts, but the saving would be nice!

Adz, can you please advise on how you negotiated this monthly rate?

They have a promo every year. Should be starting soon. I jumped on board 2 seasons ago and just pause my subscription in the off season and resume the $39 HD service again in March.

Keep an eye on Foxtel from here until season starts.

Geez, trying to cancel without ringing them... ugh.

They know heaps are going to cancel their subscriptions. Phone message says they have little staff and the wait time is over an hour.

Also, I noticed the newest bill has gone back to the original price, which is strange.

Now without AFL, I couldnt give a rats about Foxtel. I dont think I've watched another channel.

I'll post again once I know they've fixed the last bill and cancelled the subscription.

I've had Cable TV since 96 and I'm keeping it while I can.

I remember having Optus-Vision and changing to Foxtel when Optus caved in...

Anyway, I'm wanting to can it as I dont ever watch it. And I guess they make u call them and wait.

TBH, I feel they know they're about to lose a decent chunk of their customers. So the steps to take to get rid of it are a little bit harder.

Oh well, I guess there's bigger things to worry about than your pay-tv subscription.

Fuxtel's problem and they're making it ours.

Also got shafted on the phone - time for ombudsmen intervention?
