Internet Plans with Fetch

Want to get premium ‘pay TV’ channels but don’t want to pay premium prices? Fetch may be your answer. Fetch grants you access to channels including MTV, ESPN, Nat Geo, Discovery Channel, Universal, BBC, Disney, Nick Jr, and many more, starting at a low price of $6 a month. The Fetch set top box also acts as a media player, TV tuner, TV recorder, and allows you access to Netflix, Stan, YouTube and catch-up TV. And the best part is that all this can be added from a low monthly price on many internet plans – or even included in the price. Review your best options below.

Currently iiNet and Telstra offer Fetch as part of some internet deals, either as part of the package or as an extra monthly cost. If you want to bundle your internet with Fetch, you’ll only have a small pool of providers to choose from.

iiNet plans with Fetch

iiNet includes Fetch across all its NBN plans as a optional extra. If you’re on an NBN 50 plan or above, a standard Fetch package is $0 per month for your first 24 months, after which you’ll pay $5 monthly, while customers on NBN 12 or NBN 25 will have to pay $5 per month for Fetch. You’ll get a set top box, 30 pre-selected movies per month, and access to hundreds of shows and films, but you will need to pay a $89.99 setup fee if you sign up. You can also add additional premium channel packs – including Kids, Vibe, Variety, and Knowledge packs – from $6 per month, or all four for $20.

Telstra plans with Fetch

While Telstra offers Fetch as a separate entertainment add on (and doesn’t offer Fetch free on your plan), you’ll be adding this to your monthly internet bill. You can add on either the Fetch Mini or Fetch Mighty box, with the option to pay it off over 24 months or buy outright. You can then add on an entertainment pack of your choice for an additional cost.

Is a Fetch internet bundle worth the money?

It is certainly a convenient, and potentially cheaper, way to get access to premium streaming channels. With Fetch you can watch NBA, NFL, Keeping up with the Kardashians, and a litany of documentaries and crime drama series usually only associated with pay TV provider Foxtel. Users can usually add a Fetch bundle with the providers above from about $5-$20 extra per month, and also get access to unlimited data.

At retail level, the Fetch Mighty box costs $499, while the Mini retails for $169, with channel packs extra. These upfront costs can be prohibitive, so it can make sense to bundle with a provider. However, the catches are:

You are usually locked into a 24-month contract.
Retail boxes cannot ‘talk’ to ISP boxes, meaning you can’t link them up around the house.
There may not be enough of a financial incentive to bundle.

Overall, however, the convenience factor may more than outweigh the negatives. The next time you’re in need of a good dose of entertainment, you may want to consider your ISP.
