Australian TV Costs Are Absurd — IPTV Offers a Way Out
Australian pay TV is dominated by Foxtel, which charges $49-$104/month. Add Kayo Sports ($28/month), Stan ($12-$22/month), and streaming services, and entertainment costs $100-$150/month easily. IPTV provides all Australian channels plus international content for under $15 AUD/month.
