I'm disappointed that TelstraClear is not giving it's customers the option to pay a one off joining fee like Sky does. Long term TC's pricing will be an expensive deal.
Example: First year setup fee $99 plus $15 monthly comes to $279. The following year, costing is $180 making a total of $459. After the third year the cost will have come to a total of $639, $40 more than the one setup fee of $599 that Sky charges. You will then have the continuing yearly charge of $180 payable for ever. I personally would prefer to pay a one off fee rather than a yearly fee that could go on for ever.
