Presto customers to enjoy no data download limits on Foxtel Broadband

Unbelievable entertainment now streaming on Presto

Presto today confirmed that Foxtel Broadband subscribers will enjoy no data download limits when accessing Presto’s unbelievable TV and movie entertainment. The news comes on the heels of this week’s announcement by Foxtel that it has now launched Broadband and Home Phone bundles.

Presto customers who take one of the new Foxtel Broadband bundles will now see even greater value from their combined subscriptions and can binge on their favourite movie and TV shows unrestricted by data download limits.

Shaun James, Director of Presto and On Demand, said, “Presto subscribers are passionate about entertainment and enjoy bingeing on their favourite shows. The massive volume of hours viewed each week is testament to Presto’s popularity and today we’re thrilled to confirm that Foxtel Broadband subscribers can now indulge all they want on the programs they love free from data limits.”

Presto recently launched Presto TV bringing an unbelievable selection of 1000s of hours ad-free television shows to Australian TV lovers for $9.99 per month*.

Presto TV’s launch follows last year’s successful launch of Presto Movies, which features blockbusters and all-time favourite films from a constantly updated collection of great movies.

For $9.99 per month Australians can subscribe to either Presto TV or Presto Movies or bundle both services for $14.99 per month with no ongoing commitment, and now it offers no data download limits for Foxtel Broadband subscribers.

Presto TV brings together a vast collection of TV shows from quality production houses including HBO, SHOWTIME®, CBS Studios International, Viacom International Media Networks and Hasbro Studios as well as a range of some of the best local content from Foxtel, the Seven Network and ABC Commercial.

Presto TV features “complete seasons” of programs which are available to stream and watch instantly on demand. There will be something for all ages with programming covering key genres including drama, comedy, reality and kids and family.

Presto TV is the only Australian standalone SVOD service to offer acclaimed HBO programming including full seasons of The Sopranos, The Wire, Sex and the City, Entourage, True Blood, Girls and Boardwalk Empire as well as Deadwood, distributed by CBS Studios International.

Subscribers can also watch full seasons of SHOWTIME original series from CBS Studios International including Dexter®, The Borgias, Californication, Nurse Jackie and Ray Donovan with new seasons coming first to Presto TV for the standalone SVOD window.

Presto TV, Presto Movies and the Presto Entertainment bundle are currently available across PC, MAC, iPads, select Android devices and via Google Chromecast. Subscribers can register up to four compatible devices and watch two devices simultaneously.
