New unlimited broadband and home phone bundles feed customers’ growing data appetites
Foxtel today announced the launch of its new Unlimited broadband and home phone bundles, designed to meet the ever increasing data needs of Australian households. The new bundles are built for entertainment, delivered over one of Australia’s largest telecommunications networks, and feature unlimited broadband, a home phone service and access to Foxtel’s unbeatable TV programming.
With the number of internet enabled devices in each home on the rise, coupled with a proliferation of data intensive activities like video streaming, Australian consumers are demanding more from their broadband service than ever before. Foxtel’s new unlimited broadband data plans are designed to meet this demand and eliminate household concerns over exceeding monthly data caps.
Andrew Lorken, Foxtel’s Executive Director of Broadband, IT and PMO, said, “Customers are telling us they love the combination of Foxtel’s unbeatable premium TV entertainment and our broadband and home phone services, and that they are growing hungrier for broadband data to feed their insatiable appetite for online entertainment such as Foxtel’s on-demand video streaming service Anytime. Our new unlimited broadband bundles satisfy this hunger, giving our customers the freedom to browse, stream and connect with friends on multiple devices in their homes at any time of the day or night without worrying about data usage. And when combined with the Foxtel Hub, Foxtel’s very own WiFi modem, built with the latest modem technology and designed to deliver fast WiFi speeds and great in-home coverage, it’s easy to see how Foxtel’s new unlimited broadband bundles are truly ‘built for entertainment’.”
From today, new and existing Foxtel customers can access two new unlimited broadband and home phone bundles, designed to accommodate today’s data demanding homes. For $115* per month on a 12 or 24 month plan, new customers can acquire and existing customers can add unlimited broadband and home phone with unlimited standard local and national calls to any non-Platinum HD Foxtel TV package. Better yet, new and existing Foxtel Platinum HD TV subscribers will pay only $95^ per month on a 12 or 24 month plan to acquire or add an unlimited broadband and home phone bundle.
Foxtel broadband subscribers who take up a 24 month plan will receive a Foxtel Hub at no extra charge.
For customers who don’t need unlimited data, Foxtel will also now offer a new 100GB~ broadband and home phone bundle for $80~ per month on a 12 or 24 month plan, when bundled with or added to any Foxtel TV package.
