Customers have the option of 10GB, 50GB or an Unlimited data allowance per month. When you exceed your monthly data allowance, Dodo charges $2 per GB for the first 10GB and then slows your connection to 64kbps/64kbps for the remainder of the month. Base plans start at the lowest speed tier (12Mbps download, 1Mbps upload), with an option to increase the connection speed to 25/5Mbps or 100/40Mbps for an extra $10 or $30 per month respectively.

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!

I’m looking for an unlimited broadband plan including bundle options. I currently don’t have a line connected. Best options.
Hi Emma,
Thanks for your question.
As finder.com.au is a comparative financial service, we can’t actually recommend one specific service or product to our users as the best option depends entirely on your own preferences and needs.
Nevertheless, you can compare your broadband bundle options on this page. You may discuss your options directly with the service provider featured on that page by clicking the “Enquire now” or “Go to site” button.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
May
I’m still waiting for the connection but i already received the NBN with Fetch tv is been 1 week already. Why is it taking so long? I am very disappointed.
Hi Eva,
You’ve come through to finder.com.au. I would recommend contacting Dodo directly with any installation queries.
Cheers,

I have the broadband unlimited plan with dodo and apple tv connected….do I still turn off the wifi if I’m not watching the apple tv…I’m worried that if I switch off the wifi I will loose all my setting….it took me ages to set up due to dodo blocking normal setting up of apple tv.
Hi Tanjak,
Except for power consumption, there’s no reason to switch your modem off overnight. Even so, switching your modem off will not delete its settings. You would have to perform a factory reset to delete any settings you’ve changed.
Hope that answers your question,
Brodie
Thanks Brodie it did answer my question…..my service provided said I should turn off my modem when not using it.
Do the packages for Fetch TV include Lifestyle and UKTV
Hi there Cheryl,
Fetch TV’s entertainment package included UKTV but not Lifestyle. However, there are a number of channels of a similar vein, for example, Style, Food Network, Nat Geo People and the Travel Channel.
Thanks,
Brodie
I’ve just signed up to dodo fetch tv. In recorded some programs last night. When i went to play them today they wouldn’t work. Just a blank screen. Any ideas?
Hello, Lisa
It looks like many people are having a similar problem. I would recommend contacting Dodo’s customer service team. They’re likely to tell you ti format your Fetch TV box – if I’m correct in assuming you don’t have all that much recorded, this shouldn’t be too much of a worry for you. Alternatively, you could wait for the next firmware update to be released.
Thanks,
Brodie
