  • tunny_25 Steven (@tunny_25) reported

    @Foxtel 15 years loyal was paying $80 plus, all I wanted was sport because I didn't watch anything else, they didn't want to help so straight to Kayo at $25... happy as pig in ****.

  • EadeEade4 Brian Eade (@EadeEade4) reported

    @Foxtel Why is Qld Gov. forcing the aged in nursing homes to have a boosters ? .The jab, is killing the aged .The age are dying with the Jab, & they put it down as covid . to inflate the numbers. I believe there should be an enquiry into the ingredients of this deadly jab.

  • Brandonissick5 Brandon Egan (@Brandonissick5) reported

    @WWE Ngl never been to a Wwe event let alone watched a WrestleMania only really watched Wwe Raw and Smackdown on Foxtel when i was young back in the attitude era

  • whitebaitonline alex white 💣 (@whitebaitonline) reported

    @Foxtel let 👏 my 👏 dad 👏 cancel 👏 his 👏 plan

  • trevorlong Trevor Long (@trevorlong) reported

    @AnthonyClarkAU @Telstra @Foxtel Do not pay. They NEED you to get off cable... I think the through telstra part is the problem - have you spoken direct to Foxtel about switching TO them direct and getting the new box?

  • lee_g_b Lee (@lee_g_b) reported

    @TheCurbAU Thankyou, was wondering that... I forget which ceremony was via foxtel recently but I was hoping to avoid having to make another fake email address for a trial for that ****

  • mrsjbj Anita Lawes (@mrsjbj) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help is there an issue with the My Foxtel app and searching in the guide? Everything I search for comes up as no results - even when I’m searching for a show I know is there. Have updated app and my phone OS.

  • PotteryTNT Alp (@PotteryTNT) reported

    @Aaron_Amb25 @Foxtel Yeah having the same issue here :(

  • rayclister RAY C (Sewer Rat extroadinaire) (@rayclister) reported

    @colinelvy11 Foxtel wasn’t into streaming at the time the NBN was being installed Now the govt is spending millions on the NBN in the bush to improve the service Some co-incidence hey?

  • sistalma Ingrid (@sistalma) reported

    @Foxtel Well that was a massive fail @Foxtel have tried everything you have suggested and not one reply other than automated ‘bot’ message. You leave me no choice but to cancel all 4 boxes mine and my parents !! Great service 🙄🙄🤬🤬 NOT!!

  • jrdrace JRD (@jrdrace) reported

    @Motorsport So Australian F1 fans are ripped off once again. Now we have to buy Foxtel and all the useless tv garbage just to be able to access the F1TV app. 🤬.

  • JamesNanks James Nankivell (@JamesNanks) reported

    I’m very very slow on the uptake here, but is there any reason for me to have Foxtel rather than just Binge & Kayo??

  • Neil66650198 Neil (@Neil66650198) reported

    @Foxtel Hey assclowns, Murdoch's worth 20 billion dollars & he STILL instructs you to screw every cent you can out of your customers? WTF?!!! 😠😡🤬

  • BeePM68 Benny Mattoos (@BeePM68) reported

    @Gieusahaggis1 @Foxtel @DellMatchPlay It’s odd the way they share the your broadcast with GOLFTV. Actually - replace odd with completely dog ****.

  • AttungaRacing Steve (@AttungaRacing) reported

    @staceyropa1 @Foxtel Terrible

  • Mvfcarsenal Carlo Guevarra (@Mvfcarsenal) reported

    @bugwannostra What's hilarious is the same nbn that the lnp botched . Murdoch has to use as people are dropping their foxtel connections and stream everything. The last two years of covid has shown Australia how stupid the lnp are for ignoring future proofing

  • moresunshine_1 John Cas (@moresunshine_1) reported

    @Foxtel Play ad’s during replays that go on and on and on. Can’t get their on demand sport (F1) till days later. Go app is unstable and hasn’t improved for years (no investment). Sounds like a dino, acts like a dino, must be a dino.

  • FionaF68 Fiona Mackie (@FionaF68) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Could someone please help me. For nearly 3 hours I have tried to get a replacement IQ box for one that no longer works. I was on an online chat for 75 + minutes, it was ended by your consultant without a solution.

  • eCellarDoor eCellarDoor (@eCellarDoor) reported

    @sarahvmac No, we don’t and never have had Foxtel (as a matter of principle mainly!). If the cable is already there at your house, my understanding is that whoever you choose for the NBN will use that cable to deliver it as it will deliver the best speed.

  • scrumblebum1 Scrumblebum (@scrumblebum1) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help must be having enormous issues as I went to the chat (robotic) and then send me to “real person” with a sign coming up saying I’m 39 in line…..shheeeshh

  • sistalma Ingrid (@sistalma) reported

  • teflocarbon Teflo⚡️ (@teflocarbon) reported

    @williamvonkerr @tax_oz Chernobyl is only on Foxtel Now and BINGE I believe. Binge has ******* awful bitrate though so I'd try to avoid watching it there.

  • whitebaitonline alex white 💣 (@whitebaitonline) reported

    We need to put sanctions on Foxtel until they let my dad cancel his plan

  • And_Polin Apolinski (@And_Polin) reported

    @F1 no Australian f1 fans wanted foxtels rights to f1 extended, foxtel is a hugely overpriced bucket of crap here and I for 1 would have preferred to pay for f1tv and keep my money out of fox corporation's hands

  • grantpallant Grant Pallant (@grantpallant) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @FOXTEL_Help I was going to cancel someone from retention called we discussed and I argreed to stay get iq5 box in price package but she was going to call me back as was having trouble finding my address

  • PeteWil52408518 Pete Williams (@PeteWil52408518) reported

    @John_Michaels1 Multiple betting agencies sponsor either clubs directly or r advertised non stop on 9 & foxtel as u say leagues clubs r funded by pokies. I don’t have issue what they do as long as they weren’t drinking b4 games. But I hope welfare officers check in on them 4 gambling addiction
