  • dec_pol dec (@dec_pol) reported

    its pandering and subsidies to the coal industry, its blatant and stupid refusal to have a decent Non-renewable Resource Levy, its many gifts and subsidies to other industries eg Foxtel ($30mill), Channel 9 & Murdoch $17mill),

  • RealCOZZASAIDSO Corey Wright (Mr. CW) (@RealCOZZASAIDSO) reported

    @Foxtel Hello, I went through the chat and eventually disconnected after no response from support agent. Problem wasn’t solved after various troubleshooting was done.

  • gjclelo Geoff Cleland (@gjclelo) reported

    With no prior notification foxtel resumed my subscription and debited $291.90 from my account and resumed the service at a house I haven’t lived in for 10months. They say it’s my fault. Absolute scammers.

  • heisenbison Juan Fandango (@heisenbison) reported

    @IzaacRowatt @MMF006 I never had Foxtel cause it's too expensive, but I've got paramount cause it's cheaper, so for me the switch to them has been a positive.

  • JOENlCKYS tash (@JOENlCKYS) reported

    I’ve never had Foxtel so I didn’t know we don’t get HBO

  • JasonSman21 Jason Sman21 (@JasonSman21) reported

    @Jmacca1981 @ScorchersBBL Love that it’s on Foxtel but selling out sports broadcasts and putting them behind paywalls is what kills them. Cricket Aus making more stupid greedy, short sighted decisions.

  • gjclelo Geoff Cleland (@gjclelo) reported

    Foxtel just withdrew $290.90 from my account to re- instate a service in a house I haven’t lived in for 10 months which they were told in march when I suspended it. They say it’s my fault so no refund. That’s theft. Scam at its highest

  • JustinHawks justin (@JustinHawks) reported

    @daniel_prins @ByMarcMcGowan the a league is trying to get into the main stream leagues in this country and tonight has done decades worth of damage, i mean foxtel decided last year or year before they didn’t want to pay for tv rights due to not making money from it

  • antcat92 Ant cat (@antcat92) reported

    @jason_isaia @simonhill1894 Nah it’s started with Foxtel and that bald flog who can’t commentate for ****

  • me_dc Karate Warrior II (@me_dc) reported

    @nuckythompson8 @ethxn26 The streaming network is a place you could access it, but now they have a channel on Foxtel. Think they might be unloading a lot of stuff onto Binge

  • MissHissyKat Cateena (@MissHissyKat) reported

    @MillyMolly300 Thanks Maggie. Did you survive the Foxtel garbage on H&M Maggie ? Meghan is acting from the few grabs I've seen, and Harry should be in therapy. They're making a fortune ,so it time to leave the family alone. The producers should be sacked. No time for Netflix after this muck.

  • RussHunter77 Russ Hunter (@RussHunter77) reported

    @MatthewBevan I used to watch a lot of cricket and AFL. Will never pay a cent to Foxtel, on principle (aside from it being a rip off)

  • gjclelo Geoff Cleland (@gjclelo) reported

    You don’t need to look overseas for scammers. They are here. Foxtel are scammers stealing $291.90 out of my account to activate my subscription to a house 3500km away from where I live but they tell me that’s my fault not there’s. Over 25 years as a customer means nothing

  • callanjmulligan Callan J Mulligan (@callanjmulligan) reported

    @Gazrj01 Good on Foxtel! I didn't realise they were still operating live TV - I use their streaming service (Binge).

  • gjclelo Geoff Cleland (@gjclelo) reported

    Foxtel stole $291.90 out of my account activating our subscription to a house I haven’t lived in for 10 months. They say it’s my problem not there’s

  • kjoconnell Kevin O'Connell (@kjoconnell) reported

    @kylieelatham @FOXTEL_Help Did you have any luck with this? I have the same issue

  • gjclelo Geoff Cleland (@gjclelo) reported

    Are you going to investigate my issue foxtel because I’m not stopping until you do

  • gjclelo Geoff Cleland (@gjclelo) reported

    Over 25 years as a foxtel customer and today they stole $290.90 from my account for a service I don’t have. Not all scammers are from overseas. Disgusting

  • real_jmcsomeone Jack McSomeone (@real_jmcsomeone) reported

    @oocukkidstv We have a similar service in Australia called Foxtel. The old remotes were actually based on the Sky Active remotes and we even used to have games on it too. Idk if we had Tetris on there

  • i_borborygmi Borborygmi (@i_borborygmi) reported

    @charles_haig01 You avoid that by never signing up, lol. Foxtel is garbage, what are you doing?

  • DJLovett7 David Lovett 🏳️‍🌈♒ (@DJLovett7) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Hi. I signed up and paid for my Foxtel Now subscription yesterday but today it says that my account is deactivated. Can you please help? I have tried contacting virtual chat but no agents are available.

  • Partytime63 Jaliyan (@Partytime63) reported

    @Foxtel please advise how can you help with free to air channels if we have to move away from Cable to IQ ?

  • bferris1703 💧Brett Ferris (@bferris1703) reported

    @TheKennyDevine Looks like Foxtel's numbers are crap across the board. #MurdochRoyalCommission

  • Fox98Lachlan Lachlan_Fox98 💚💛🇦🇺🦘 (@Fox98Lachlan) reported

    @TheRealALM Again @drt15 is full of ****, If money is the issue why wasn’t it put out for tender? If you had quotas to hit from a **** streaming site why would you sign with it? Should’ve just stayed with Foxtel where the game had a chance to stay mainstream

  • carlosthedwarf_ carlosthedwarf? (@carlosthedwarf_) reported

    @AdamHux2 I remember being so interested in the Big Bash about a decade ago I subscribed to the terrible Foxtel Now service on my Xbox 360 just to watch it because my place wasn't cabled. Now you could pay me to watch it and I'd still skip it. Death by oversaturation
