Foxtel brings Australians unlimited streaming and entertainment
New unlimited broadband and entertainment plans offer super reliable, super-fast streaming for video hungry Australians

Foxtel today announced that it was going all-in on unlimited data broadband plans for all new customers. The move is designed to simplify Foxtel’s broadband offering by removing the guesswork common to broadband plans, while placing increased emphasis on an entertainment-based plan designed for streaming.

Existing Foxtel TV customers looking to add broadband can subscribe to an unlimited Foxtel Broadband plan for an extra $75^ per month on a 24 month contract, in addition to their Foxtel TV subscription, or for an extra $65` per month when added to a Foxtel Platinum HD subscription with no lock in contract.

In addition, new Foxtel Broadband customers on the nbnTM will benefit from Foxtel’s Plus speed (nbn 50) included with all unlimited plans; with typical busy period speeds of 42.4Mbps1 – that’s five times the speed of the average Australian ADSL connection2 and three times the speed of the Basic nbnTM service3.

Foxtel Broadband is purpose built for entertainment and is designed to stream the best in sport, movies and TV, featuring every live game of the NRL, AFL, WAFL, F1, V8s, A-League, Super Rugby and more along with premium local and international programming, including Westworld, Fear the Walking Dead, The Americans, Gifted, Barry and upcoming Foxtel originals, like Picnic at Hanging Rock and Wentworth, streamed live or on demand.
