You don't even get the sports channels as part of the basic package anymore, I'm not sure about Foxtel, but Austar definitely don't have that old package.
So its more like around $60 for sports channels now. Until I get a massive pay rise, I'll have to put up with this shitty Free To Air sports channels.
Wow, really? I thought Fox Sports 1 at least was still in the basic package. It's hyper-commercialised insanity. I hear rugby's now been relegated to Fox Sports 3, meaning you need to fork out shitloads.
What I think Foxtel don't realise is that they're losing customers this way. They could be getting $10-12 out of me per month. They could've been getting that for 2.5 years now. Instead, due to poor business models, they're gotten absolutely zilch and will continue to get absolutely zilch.
