    @FIAWEC @beINSPORTSASIA thatd be right Foxtel ditched its BEIN sports channel partnership a few years back now i gotta shell out for them on top of everything life sucks being a poor schmuck on DSP😕

    @Telstra New NBN, wanted Foxtel, bought Fetch. But Fetch can’t get Foxtel, can’t cancel, no refund no return, throw the Fetch box in the bin, or they said “they would recycle it responsibly”. Now I want some real science, an energy balance not virtue signalling .

    @kayosports @Foxtel tv director has to lose his job after this performance. This might be the worst major sporting event coverage I’ve ever seen #AFLDonsPies

    @simmos83 @jarrodwalsh Criticising ****** behaviour from Foxtel? And you want to try and pull out club v club ****? The fans of the Hard-done-bys are a ******* weird lot.

    @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.

    Truly terrible coverage with sound dropouts at the most important moments tonight Foxtel. Not worth the $113/month we pay to simply watch the game. #AFLDonsPies

    @Ryandally08 Perhaps 7,9,10 and SBS and WIN too who all get a subsidy and tax breaks to broadcast. I mean even Foxtel got $30 mill perhaps shut them down too. Radio….well that’s ****. Shut them down as well.

    @matt__nicholls Yeah sucks. Think foxtel/kayo should focus on getting more sport leave the movies/tv to the streaming sites. Cos fta cant to do sports well. And having sport split over multiple site sucks. Would be so bad if all tennis was on one all motorsport on another but when sports are over 2 or 3 it sucks.

    How the hell does #KenHinckley GetARoleCommentatingOnTheShowdown ? He would have to go down as the worst coach in history for a side. Why @FoxSportts @Foxtel making us listen to the worst coach in AFL history ? He’s rich $ stop paying irrelevant conversation !! #AFL #crows port

    @Xenosmilus4 @MisanthropeGirl Presumably you can stream to a Sky box as well as get satellite, but can you get it to use only as a streaming set top box? The equivalent here, Foxtel, just has an app for people who don’t want the satellite service, which means using a Firestick, Apple TV or the like.

    @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.

    @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.

    @robb_j_m Making it useless and bad was the primary purpose of the 2013 Abbott government. Almost certainly at the behest of Murdoch, as it would hurt his Foxtel business.

  • DetroitLemons99
    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

    @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.

    @Quartermain10 "Technical difficulties" don't cover the continuous stuff ups where we watching replays instead of live centre bounce contests. Very poor direction from Foxtel, should be 100% better for the subscription cost!

    @realRick_AUS @LeagueScenePod Foxtel had him effectively sacked the week before too. I suppose they couldn't find a replacement. Dean Young will coach. Idk what the hold up is. They're a **** team. He should've gone after last season. Still not as bad a coach as voss and bead Scott tho

    @Ausbobsmit Knifing Tony Baloney was a fine public service. You forget Tony brought us world slowest copper wire internet to save Rupert Murdoch’s satellite Foxtel crap from being dumped in the bin. The man in the photo had to sell the dog to us. Not me - I was one of first fibre connected.
