The supply of your Foxtel Home Phone service and your

access to telephony services will not be continuous, fault-free,

accessible or available at all times.

We may elect to move your Foxtel Home Phone service to

another Service or Plan, including a Foxtel Home Phone

on NBN service (if available), that we believe is reasonably

comparable to your current plan, by giving you at least 30

days notice.

If we elect to move you to another Service or Plan (other

than to migrate you to a Foxtel Home Phone on NBN service)

and this move adversely affects you (other than in a minor

way), you may cancel your Service provided you notify us of

your intention to do so within 14 days of receiving our notice

regarding the move. If you cancel in this way, you will not need

to pay any otherwise payable Early Termination Fee.

to the NBN with us, you must notify us of this within 14 days

disconnected, there may be a delay in the provision of a new

service on the NBN due to third party suppliers.

If we migrate you to a Foxtel Home Phone on NBN service,

we will use our best efforts to minimise any disruption to

your Internet access during this transition. To do so, we may

overlap supply of your existing Foxtel Home Phone service

with supply of your new Foxtel Home Phone on NBN service.

If this is not practicable, we may cancel and stop supplying

your existing Foxtel Home Phone service before we start

supplying your new Foxtel Home Phone on NBN service. For

certain NBN technologies, excluding FTTP, you will require a

new Foxtel Hub to access your Foxtel Home Phone on NBN

service.
