Talking turkey with Telstra

We are now out of contract with our 12 month bundle for phone, internet & Foxtel from Telstra. That means some of the Foxtel discounts are adjusted adding about $10 to the monthly cost with Entertainment, Documentaries & Movies going from $40 to $50 which is still below the normal $56 for that lot.
Some options are to remove Movies or even cancel Foxtel. Another option is to take up a new bundle like the $99 unlimited with Telstra TV and Foxtel Now for 24 months, includes a Smart Modem with 4G backup. Rang Telstra and lucky to get a switched on guy by the name of Arnel. The new bundle would not include the smart modem…hmm. Decided to cancel Foxtel so he put me on hold…waiting…came back with a offer to keep everything the same and reduce Foxtel (as before Ent, Docs & Movies) to $30 - DONE :-)
