Telephone
 
Hi, I've been here 6 weeks (4 in dalby) and I am not up to speed with the best telephone, Internet and tv package provider yet. I know Telstra do a package but that does not include tv channels and is close to $100 per month just for telephone and the net.

Any advice on cheap deals ?

Ta much :)

Yeah Iv been looking at that this week.

You're talking $100 per month each for internet/phone and Foxtel to be honest.

Its not cheap. But then again that's not far from UK prices..

I think if you phone Foxtel/Telstra they can package the lot up for you for a deal I seem to remember reading on one website.
