Telstra T-Box customers offered six months of free Presto

Telstra today announced that it will offer new and existing Telstra T-Box owners a free six month subscription to Foxtel's streaming service, Presto. In addition, Presto is now accessible from the T-Box's main menu.

T-Box owners can redeem the offer by going to channel 911 and following the prompts. Users must do so before June 31, 2015. Telstra broadband customers are able to stream content through Presto without it counting against their monthly download allowance. A Telstra spokesperson confirmed that existing Presto subscribers are also able to take advantage of the offer.

A Presto subscription typically retails for AUD$9.99 or AUD$14.99 depending on whether a user wants access to television shows, movies or both. Telstra's T-Box offer gives customers access to the highest tier.

Telstra's announcement coincides with Netflix unveiling local pricing in preparation for its local launch.
