My TV+/HomeHub+ plan is still in contract. Can I get an additional TV+ box at $5.05/month?

If you rent an additional TV+ box after 1 July 2022, you will still pay $5.05/month for that box until the end of your TV+/HomeHub+ contract period.

Why does my bill have part-month (pro-rated) charges for TV+ box rental?

Part-month (pro-rated) charges will apply if your TV+/HomeHub+ contract does not end exactly on the last day of your bill cycle. For example: 

         

New rate effective date: 1 July 2022 

TV+/HomeHub+ contract end date: 15 September 2022 

Bill cycle: 12th of the month – 11th of the following month 


On your bill for 12 September 2022 to 11 October 2022, you will see part-month (pro-rated) charges for your TV+ box rental.  

  • The charges for 12 September to 15 September will be based on the old rate ($5.05/month) because you have rate protection till the end of your contract.
  • The charges for 16 September to 11 October will be based on the new rate ($5.96/month).
