    @ruicharadrius Wifi here is like wifi anywhere, afaik. Perhaps you mean bandwidth. For that problem blame the government that thought fibre to premises was overkill. Turnbull, under the thumb of Murdoch who was protecting Foxtel. We don’t hate Murdoch enough.

    Foxtel is worth about $4.99-$6.99 a month, it’s full of commercials… cancel your Foxtel now

    @Chris1qjt @ItWasATea I just looked up to see if it will be on Hayu here in Aus, and it's currently saying no, only on E network via Foxtel and their VOD services. So streaming on some dodgy site it is, I guess lol

    @BigdogGC77 @gilby_gillard @kayosports When you say losing customers? Are people moving over to Foxtel? Or how else do you watch sport? Genuinely curious, I’ve got Foxtel so never had Kayo, seems like a terrible service

    Foxtel asking me if I’m sure I want to delete the two recordings of the game.. never been surer of anything. Would’ve deleted it even if we managed to scrape the win in at the end. #AFLTigersEagles

    @gilby_gillard @kayosports Foxtel signed a huge deal. I think kayo are now obliged to send punters their way now. I was with Kayo for 6 years and they just cancelled my subscription due regional bullshit. You can’t talk to anyone … they’re rubbish. Never again.

    @filmgeek_rq Yep absolute **** show. Murdoch said you’ll kill Foxtel so don’t let fibre happen, so Abbott dutifully obliged said ‘25mbps’ was sufficient. We’ve wasted billions on this the original plan was clearly the way to go.

  • realglenappleby
    Glen Appleby (@realglenappleby) reported

    @LeagueFreak Kerry Packer believed you bid the maximum you can so if you loose to anyone else - you know they will be worst off than you. Foxtel knows it will lose half their subscriptions if they lose the NRL. And that means it will go broke because they already over paid for the AFL.

    I thought i was tripping out. Good to see others complaining too I dont think there is a shitter streaming service than kayo. Australia is getting helf hostage by this foxtel monopoly.

    @thebigjohnnyd @MercJestr I had recorded something on my Foxtel box, came back to watch it and it wouldn't play it because they no longer had the rights to it. FFS not asking you to keep streaming it, but let me watch what's recorded. This never happened back in the olden days when I recorded to a VCR

  • Koz9A
    AKoz9 (@Koz9A) reported

    @RealSprat Might try that. There's definitely just the one playlist atm, and never been that kind of option before. Could be a shortcoming of Prime through Foxtel box, so might try in a diff interface.

    @mcdonellaussie @DisneyPlus I get ESPN through Foxtel. Would never think to use Disney

    @JonesPam7777 @OMGTheMess Kinda sorta bloody oath. I got my pay rise, I'll be paying $22k in tax plus all the other taxes and council rates and water rates and electricity. Then I pay for Foxtel and internet and mobile phone. And then have to eat. And I don't live in a city. Poor people who do.

    @StanSportAU we don’t want advertising during live sport. That’s the deal I signed up to. Now you’ve changed the deal. I’m a Premium continuous customer paying $42 pm. Just like I cancelled #foxtel I will cancel you. #9entertainment

    Nat Geo (@___Geo__) reported

    @kayosports how do you expect people who live in remote Australia to be able to watch any live sports? These restrictions are absolutely ridiculous and anti consumer. The only way I can watch anything that Kayo has access to is by paying full price to a Foxtel service box?????

    @Markedw For the SBS to outbid the likes of foxtel or Amazon . If a publicly funded network can outbid paid services.. maybe it should be looked at

    @FootyonNine IV'E GONE BACK TO THE ADDS, ON 7, MUCH BETTER THAN THE DUNSTALL CRAP & A GREEN ******* TEST PATTERN , FOR 5 MINUTES , WHAT ******** IS THAT ABOUT, NO COMMERCIALS , THAT WAS THE PROMISE, MORE TEST PATTERN THAN PAULINE'S PRESS CLUB COAT, **** OFF FOXTEL.

    @KobieThatcher I'm still unsure how they measure how many people watch it as I've never seen a survey for it. Free to Air over Antenna is receive only as is Foxtel over satellite. I don't know many that watch FTA via the app.

    @tayser82 I believe Foxtel used as much power as a town the size of Lithgow when it first setup in Macquarie Park but, no, that wasn’t a problem

  • wallybechara
    wb1234 (@wallybechara) reported

    @WSWanderingEels My idea down the track is Saturday 930 nrl game (good for Perth) feeding directly into an earlier super league game. That would get them decent coin. Like when they go to 11 or 12 games. They can afford Foxtel so much more value down the track, afl can’t.

    @FOXNRL I signed up for Foxtel in 1992 primarily for the rugby league coverage….i hope like hell they lose the broadcast rights ! Ennis, Voss, Duke, Alexander are ****** terrible commentators

    Yeah I remember this show on ABC back in the day it was one of those shows when you randomly brain-dead to change the channel or if it was **** all on telly on a weekend or a day your sick, **** even a public holiday and if you're too poor for Foxtel or Austar.

    @NRLMedia What an awful outcome for fans. Higher prices. Still have to watch the biggest games on nine in their ****** “HD”. Games covered by nine still not in 4K on Foxtel. ******* pathetic. It’s 2026 FFS, not 1990.
