View Full Version : Foxtel's package definition...

I just wanted to say that I find it highly amusing the way Foxtel add channels to their so called packages and then charge you for each additional new channel. When I purchased my foxtel originally, I did so with the thinking that buying a package such as the entertainment plus package meant that I was purchasing one entity, something which would remain one entity, therefore meaning that anything that came under that package would be inclusive of the "package" that I purchased originally. How on earth can the definition of a package mean that you suddenly pay more money for seperate little entities that get added along the way?

Foxtel are extremely unlawful in their pricing schemes and in the way they take customers for a ride when it comes to charging little extra's here and there. Not only do they totally screw their customers and drain their wallets of every cent possible, but they have the complete and utter disrespect to televise main events that are not even live. For instance, the last UFC (Ultimate fighting championship) that I purchased on main event was over a day late, I already knew all of the results before it was even shown on foxtel, and they have the absolute gaul to charge people up to $30 for coverage which is 24 hours late? No wonder people are pirating Foxtel, foxtel corp is run by money hungry pricks, they deserve to have their system pirated and lose millions of dollars, wankers.

I can't understand why you didn't cancel the main event subscription if you
were that pissed off!!?? You obviously knew it was gonna be delayed as you
knew the result. Did they hold a gun at your head and force you to book the
event?

I agree with your comments regarding how they just price change and change the "packages".

I too when started out with F***el had a package of movies etc but then somehwere along the way they decided that for the same monthly amount I was not entitled to ALL the items thus they changed it.
IF I wanted to have back what I started out with I had to fork out more cash.

You all know of course they have changed this several times in the past year(s).

Maybe they would make more money selling channels separately, rather than
screwing their customers making them pay for 5 channels to get one they
want - everyone with a brain can see through their money scamming schemes -
no wonder they have problems with piracy, poeple get fucked by Foxtel, so
they don't care about fucking Foxtel back - I was always taught "Treat
others as you would have them treat yourself"
