If you decide to cancel your service early, you will be liable for a cancellation fee of a maximum of $360, pro rated for the months remaining on your contract term.
For example, a customer who wants to cancel 9 months into a 12 month contract may have to pay a termination fee of $360 x 3/12 (the number of months left to run on the contract divided by 12 months) = $90.00.
Transferring the cable service to another location where an active Foxtel outlet is already installed will cost $55 for the transfer. The $189 listed below is for a transfer of the service where there is no active Foxtel outlet and will require a tech visit (pro install).
