surely they can see who signed up under this fiasco and cancel them ?
Foxtel - how atrocious has it become year after year?

I'm not sure as to how they got out but mine is still working. They may not have given themselves any outs with terms and conditions.

Didn’t even know that happened but my disconnection had been brewing a while now and happy to never get a bill from these thieves ever again.

I saw they responded to anyone who took this offer up saying it was a mistake and said they'd only be giving them one month free instead.

IIRC that was fake but I don't know for sure. I know I didn't receive it, or any of my mates that used it up.

There was at least a month's warning that 7 were switching the frequency of the channel. Surely Fox could have picked up on it.

I've got an IQ5, but have you checked channel 257...??? That is where 7Mate is for me now.
SBS Viceland has also moved nearby on the channel list.

Yeah, not surprised. I was on the IQ3 up until last month, but Foxtel can't go through Telstra's cables in Victoria as of mid next year, so have been giving everyone free upgrades (although it feels like exactly the same thing) to either IQ4 (Satellite) or IQ5 (Streaming).
7 have cleared out that frequency for their new Bravo channel. I'm unsure that seeing the type of shows that are on that will make you feel any better!

It's annoying the number of FTA stations you can't access via Foxtel. Not as bad as having to buy new TVs in order to watch FTA TV, but an annoyance anyway.
They’re all on Binge
I just took up a $6 per month for 12 months being a Telstra Gold customer

So the roof got replaced at the start of September and the tradie's effort of plonking the dish back on when they were finished somehow amazingly resulted in no signal. I rang Foxtel immediately to get a tech sent out and they said yes no problem we'll do that as quick as we can. The tech is due here Friday week.
