fuck you foxtel

Its official.

I wont be turning my tv onto all the cool channels that Foxtel offers.

Why ? Because my building apparently is not wired for it. What the fuck does that mean right? That's what I asked my self.

The apartment building I live in is relatively new and everyone I ask tells me that 'Oh I am surprised you are not set up for foxtel'. Well I am not. So I Cant have it. No matter how many times I cry and whine about it.

Then someone told me about a loop hole - you can call them up and do a custom installation just for my self. So I did - I am told I need authority from the building management. I told them that's doable.

They tell me it could be anything between 500-1500 Dollars.

Fuck no. Not gonna happen.

SO I now enjoy the poor mans foxtel which is SelecTV. Pretty much all the channels foxtel has - with poorer quality and no SPORTS channels.

Which is basically like a wasted erection.

So foxtel can stuff it.

Ps- for those of you who don't know - foxtel is a monopolising cable service whore in Australia
