Hey Foxtel, just wanted to give you guy a huge high-five! I'm a rejoining customer after six month break (need more entertainment in lockdown!) and everything seems improved. Bundled Netflix, Ultra HD channels, Prime coming and self-install, excited about IQ5. Thanks all :)

I gave up #Foxtel after being made redundant but nobody warned me how woefully bad free to air television has become in Australia. Only for people who like reality tv nonsense or apparently every episode of Friends, The Big Bang Theory and NCIS. It's abysmal! 🤮🤮🤮 #FTA

@JaneCaro @BBCFirstAus Apparently I'd need to pay for Foxtel to view & I've never done that, nor will I ever. As for Fetch, forget about it. But I'll take your word.

We have season 3 of Good Trouble in Australia on Foxtel and I am not sure if it is on Binge too. Binge seems to have the same content as Foxtel so Binge must be a subsidiary of Foxtel or is it owned by Foxtel.

People need to stop subscribing to services like @StanAustralia sport fans being held down and *** ***** by these awful money-hungry streaming services. You need FOUR separate services to watch all the football this year. Long gone are the days it was all on @Foxtel #UCL

It’s actually amazing that even Foxtel have pulled the NBN’s pants down on this issue. Their IQ5 box is basically streaming only, and guess what bandwidth you’ll need for that!

Constant crashes, different TVs. Constant sign outs. Buffering so slow (no internet issues - just Foxtel). Resume TV show fails frequently. Adverts repeat 2 or 3 times the same advert, if it doesn’t crash in the middle.

@Mario__Bones Same with wrestling. WWE has ****** itself with Foxtel deal. It airs live (middle of a work day), then they put the replay up. But, they take up to THREE DAYS to put the replay up. I used to pay for Foxtel just for wrestling and ended up cancelling bc it was never up in time

(@SteveMolk) reported
@gsyoung Yes, and no. Foxtel offer a heap of different channels, so if you combine their audience it's not bad. Also they 'only' have 25% penetration in the market, so they come off a lower base anyway. Nobody has to pay to listen to your community radio station.

And this is the same issues I had 2 years ago in a different house, using the Foxtel Now box. No issues with any other streaming apps at all. Made me cancel subscription back then as Foxtel just blamed my internet. Nothing wrong with internet - just a very poor Foxtel product.

@RedSeaDownUnder and yes it sucks the way the football rights have become so diluted- but even with all the streaming services I currently have I’m paying less than I was 5 yrs ago with foxtel

@Foxtel how is it possible that over two years ago I had issues with the Foxtel app on tv, left Foxtel and now back again and the app is as terrible as before. So unstable and horrible to use. Looks like I won’t be sticking around again for long when so $$$

(@AusSportsGuy1) reported
@Reillyhead32 @neilsherwin Yeah I feel @StanSportAU have missed a trick with having to pay the extra on top of your normal Stan subscription to access it. Makes it feel very Foxtel with neededong to get multiple subscriptions from the same service if you just want UCL etc
