-
John the Baptist (@JohntheBapt1ser) reported@AlboMP Please make Foxtel number one target! They make it very difficult to cancel and make you go through a lengthy phone call. No online or postal option to cancel.
-
JasonF. (@AnInterObserver) reported@kayosports_help moved from Foxtel to Kayo. Mistake. Rarely had an issue with Foxtel, more dropouts and circle of death with Kayo in one month vs 25 years with Foxtel. Running NBN500. If there’s some simple fix let me know. Otherwise, I’ll bank a refund and return to Foxtel.
-
Paul Christie (@007paulchristie) reported@Foxtel your so called free HBO MAX app is the worst, adverts through every program, glitching constantly.abd we have the pleasure of paying extra to get the decent version. What a con job on all Foxtel customers who had these shows previously as part of their subscription.
-
Where's the ***? (@ogsubtlemenace) reported@onepercentas There was a period around December 2025, where I couldn't access my account whilst I was in Far North QLD due to licencing issues. I was being redirected to a Foxtel subscription. Which considering Kayo is now $46/month, would possibly have been better value.

Lloyd Duff (@Mike09127415) reported@LolCowBasement @LolCowBasement You could say Techy I used a piece of myself to make you the ultimate cable box. Yes it picks up FOXTEL. It aims for anything but anything FOX or CBS NETWORK related is a given. You worked for CBS over the Castle hill slide so you left a vocal fingerprint
-
𝕵.𝕭𝖆𝖐𝖊𝖗 (@PremiumPies) reported@Michael94858047 Foxtel laughing at anyone willing to pay that for their service
-
Benny™ (@bennyspursau) reported@onepercentas @Jonesracing82 Constantly jittering. Ridiculous to suggest Internet is the issue. Have no issue streaming live EPL or even live sport on Foxtel app. Yet Kayo constantly jitters and stutters.
-
FixTechStuff 🛠️ (@FixTechStuff1) reported@purplepingers The hole for the Foxtel cable was likely drilled through the channel in the roof iron so water drips down when it rains. Happened with my satellite internet, 30 mins after installers left there was a downpour and a literal torrent of water poured out the wall plate into the modem
-
OzPandaCollectables (@Jokesterz420) reported@kayosports BRU fix your ******* app we pay $40 a ******* month I can legit pay $15 more and have Foxtel with the sports channel…..
-
Mia (@mamma_mia111) reported@Foxtel **** product
-
harleyw (@harleywattsconn) reported@ThoughtVacancy @wayne_kag @AlboMP It is a problem and it bloody well exists!!! Ever tried cancelling Optus Sport, BigPond Broadband or Foxtel? Try listening to Optus's "give me the simple life" hold music for 2 hours.

Anna (@spannaforce) reportedAnyone else having trouble with Foxtel now app ? @FOXTEL_Help
-
Cats_Can_Trade (@CatsTrade) reported@Michael94858047 I ditched Foxtel at least 10 years ago. Never again!
-
kayla fan of ³³ (@ActingLikeThtKk) reported@gaIaxygang Foxtel go is my ***** she rarely lets me down when i can’t access my set top box 😌
-
InnerQuasar35 (@Pom_Bazooka) reported@intothecrevasse I never watched it but saw the ads regularly back when I had TheComedyChannel as part of my Foxtel package.
-
Dariyen Jones (@DetroitLemons99) reported@FootyonNine So maybe Foxtel is correct and kayo and the like is a world leading service but the actual failure is our own countries ability to provide an internet service that has the ability to allow the public to best use it
-
Tim Guille (@timbguille) reportedUpdate Now on hold for 26 minutes. @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help making I’m near impossible to cancel
-
***** (@guidohatzis) reportedQuestion for Kayo people. Why don't you have Foxtel? I've never seen a 'How good is Kayo' post. From what I'm seeing, having Kayo is like going to a brothel for a cuddle. Waste of time and money. #AFL
-
RationalMan74 (@RationalMan74) reported@onepercentas Why does it even exist? Why do Foxtel not simply offer a sports only package? Why does it seem to run off different tech to the Foxtel app which has zero issues?
-
91 03 21 22 23 24 PREMIERS 🐾🏆 (@SnoogThe) reported@sportandracing @FOXNRL @Foxtel I don’t blame Andrew. He loves the game. I am sure he would prefer to be at Lang Park instead of a padded room V’Landys and Abdo are the people allowing the broadcasters to penny pinch and short change us Tonight was horrible
-
Glenn Wall (@GlennWall17) reported@MikeCarlton01 Well the Israelis having a problem Bibi promised Don he gets Gaza they get the West Bank But they need the USA to take the hard hits for them. So now it storming the beaches as a ex foxtel sports commentator decided to throw the Geneva Convention in the bin as to restrictive.
-
ralph horowitz (@rtralphy) reportedConfident prediction The price of Foxtel and Kayo will spike considerably, and it will be justified based on the government gambling ads crackdown Quinella: Never waste a crisis into law of unintended consequences GR 👍
-
Throwaway Account (@ThrowawayA55057) reported@CurttiMagurtti Was never a Disney channel person we watched Cartoon network and Boomerang when we had Foxtel.
-
EarlswoodXRPMAXI (@eviethedog65) reported@Michael94858047 Holy ****. I canned Foxtel and just subscribed to what i want. Far cheaper. I have Kayo for the AFL.
-
Craig davos (@davos_craig) reportedWhats everyones issue with kayo ? My foxtel doesn't miss a beat 👍#AFLpowerdons
-
Lexi (@InternetPiglet) reported@tresantes Sidenote i think i might be the reason foxtel now makes you sign up for every channel to get the documentary ones at all now, because i was watching that **** for like 10 hours a day for years and only paying $10/mth, it had to have been a loss for them

-
jason quealey (@jq1970) reported@nrlphysio @kayosports This is why I kept the @Foxtel box and avoid the poor service you get with streaming
-
Matthew Decker (@matthewdeckerxx) reported@ScottBornAgain I was never asked to sign a release even digitally to do tmz and that’s illegal, anyone want to help me here or am I just gonna sit here forever I have proof they used it for money making advertising ventures as I was able to screen record it off the app mind you it’s a foxtel company.

Jackamo (@JackamoTellEm) reported@Michael94858047 wait people still have foxtel in 2026? I thought that **** died out years ago
