Why is it that when i signed to dodo unlimited adsl 2 cheapest i could get was 89.dollars a month..now i see you’re offering unlimited regional at 59 dollars
Hi Steff,
Thanks for your question.
Please note that you’ve come through to finder.com.au we are an Australian financial comparison website and general information service, not actually Dodo.
For the Dodo ADSL2 + Unlimited Regional plan, the base amount is $59.90 but you will also need to pay for the monthly home phone line which is $29.90, so that makes the total amount of your monthly subscription to $89.80 for the plan.
Cheers,
May

Hello. I’m a new dodo customer. Just signed up with them with NBN and lucky me I have it now activated with the help of dodos responsible technician. Its just within 1 week or after and Im all set. Just wondering about the Dodo fetch tv. I know Dodo is designed for budget conscious people but why there is one time activation fee included on each TV? I want my 4 tvs to get the fetch service but it would be 4 times for the one time activation.
Hello Megan.
Thanks for your question.
The reason why an activation fee is required, DoDo will provide you a fetch TV box with every activation request made. That way you will have a clear signal whenever you will be using the fetch TV box.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
