Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • wendrose21 wen615 (@wendrose21) reported

    @Telstra I still have daily issues with signal and foxtel telstra. Rebooted, manually and via online foxtel support but tv still has foxtel streaming freezing & not working properly.

  • waynesmith10 Wayne Smith (@waynesmith10) reported

    @telstra why is your service so bad? No one ever answers the phone, so you try the text/chat function - spend the best part of a day messaging just to amend the foxtel package, finally agree the deal only to be told it’s not possible and we need to start the whole process again!

  • LukevanO Luke van O (@LukevanO) reported

    Foxtel's UI has variable-speed fast forward and rewind like they've never looked at any other streaming platform's playback controls. It was useful when files had to be viewed sequentially. Come on. Be kind rewind the stream for the next viewer.

  • tomorrowsashes Napalm Death of the Author (@tomorrowsashes) reported

    @TrollmanBullcum It's owned by Foxtel who are shithouses at everything. Had their streaming app for a while to watch succession & it was absolutely terrible. My partner likes the NBA, can stream HD from the NBA app no worries. Any game on kayo is basically unwatchable

  • NJNAdvisory Nicholas J Ng (@NJNAdvisory) reported

    Why is it that I just can't cancel my subscription to @Foxtel once and for all. Their pressure tactics over the phone to retain - today is the day, I finally cancel it as we have so many subscriptions.

  • tahlea_rose Tahlea (@tahlea_rose) reported

    ...... is that camp rock step for real?? never thought i’d be glad we never had money for foxtel or the disney channel & co 🙄🙄

  • MpPunchy Punchy (@MpPunchy) reported

    @nicko_316 We were basically abused trying to cancel during Covid. Never again Foxtel. Best thing we ever did was leave them and get Netflix & now Kayo

  • johnlara47 John Lewis (@johnlara47) reported

    This is why we have a public service. Public servants help Foxtel meet deadline for millions in taxpayer-funded sports grants.Ref'. Business reporter Daniel Ziffer No wonder they leak sensitive documents (alleged).

  • sandm52 🔴Steve Wilson⚫ (@sandm52) reported

    Foxtel half time summary spot on. Carlton selling point to Saad was we don't need you to play lock down we have enough others to lock down small forwards. All Carlton small defenders are all kick chasing and saints are cashing in.

  • LukePGavin Luke P Gavin (@LukePGavin) reported

    @DanieTreg Thanks for the reminder. Have to cancel my foxtel NBN!

  • alunsays alunsays (@alunsays) reported

    @thebushnews Don’t know, but would guess not. We’ll see when it appears on TV on Saturday. What was that about the Government giving Foxtel money to support women’s sport?

  • FOXTEL_Help Foxtel Help 📺 🆘 (@FOXTEL_Help) reported

    @jackieboj Hey Jackie, it could be a connection issue, but usually an error code would pop up if that was the case. Drop us a DM with your account details + what channels it happens on (i.e. is it just FTA channels or are Foxtel channels affected as well), and we'll help out :) -Wilson

  • Shauno_Bro ShaunTheSheep (@Shauno_Bro) reported

    @sezlloydy @NBL @FOXTEL_Help Twitch is not working either

  • BenHopkinsAus Ben Hopkins (@BenHopkinsAus) reported

    @JamesMo65348771 @Bolt_RSS I don't watch Bolt. I think he's gone a bit stupid in recent years... ...but... I just flicked Foxtel on and he was on. He raises a good point about the Hard Rock and the bath. 🤔🤔

  • 007paulchristie Paul Christie (@007paulchristie) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help 2 hours on Telstra chat trying to find out why our Foxtel has been down all day in Baulkham hills and now they are not responding. Bloody hopeless, why can’t we actually talk to a human at Foxtel or Telstra.

  • roblarosa01 Robert Larosa (@roblarosa01) reported

    @Foxtel thanks for the text about your scheduled maintenance 30 minutes after the signal went out. Really helpful.

  • OSAC79_NPG Owen (@OSAC79_NPG) reported

    @poorlyg @FOXTEL_Help Ur Tv has internet mate . Foxtel live! Use same login details as the app

  • NJNAdvisory Nicholas J Ng (@NJNAdvisory) reported

    To have to ask their call centre to respect my time and my request to disconnect, then proceed to try charge me $29 a month to maintain my "loyalty discounts". No thanks Gee the Foxtel business model is so broken.

  • sezlloydy Sarah (@sezlloydy) reported

    @Shauno_Bro @NBL I'm annoyed!! **** off the NBA mini!! @FOXTEL_Help get your **** together

  • Imafade Imafade (@Imafade) reported

    @CraigsterThe Every week has gone down the drain since covid. Each day that passes I wish I was back in Australia. Can’t do much with these restrictions. Might as well be in Oz having good wine and cheese while watching the footy on Foxtel.

  • ultimablackmage Jean-Paul Bartolomei (@ultimablackmage) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help why is streaming so garbage via Foxtel IQ3? I have way over 100mbps via my connection & yet the box only gets maybe 35mbps & STILL HAS FLUCTUATIONS IN RESOLUTION! What is wrong with your streaming service?

  • inthecheapseat1 💧inthecheapseats🦠🏴‍☠️ (@inthecheapseat1) reported

    @MFWitches Advertising and Foxtel...cancel subscriptions and tell advertisers you won’t buy products that support Scott.

  • nicko_316 Nick Ng (@nicko_316) reported

    Finally managed to cancel my Foxtel subscription. Had to ask the call centre to actually respect my decision. The audacity to try to charge me $29 a month to retain my loyalty discount in the event I return back? GGF'D! Bring on Kayo + Stan + Netflix.

  • saley36 Saley (@saley36) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Hi, You replaced my IQ2 which died approx 12 years old and was unbeatable. IQ3 in the house for 2 months and it is terrible. Aus v NZ T20 failed today!!!!! happened many times.

  • mizzshoppalott mizz shoppalott (@mizzshoppalott) reported

    @Donsvess @margmopp Don't deserve to be funded by us taxpayers, govt should save a billion dollars annually and make it a subscription service like foxtel, Netflix, Stan etc

  • ciaochauchau chauie (@ciaochauchau) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Totally useless. False advertising and no follow up customer service, via Facebook email and now Twitter. No wonder your company is going under. Canceling account bye

  • ultimablackmage Jean-Paul Bartolomei (@ultimablackmage) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help It never showed up during Batwoman episodes or the first episode of Superman & Lois & that's all I watch on Fox 8. All I get is ads for HBO series for the most part & car ads.

  • PurpleSookie Carolyn #🦠 (@PurpleSookie) reported

    @PurpleHaze_Lee All of them, but Rugby (union) is losing support and even Foxtel have dropped them. Australia used to be very dominate in that code but not so much anymore but very strong in League still. In some parts of Australia they couldn’t name an AFL team

  • The_IanSmith Ian Smith (@The_IanSmith) reported

    If you have Foxtel you support Murdoch.

  • Mumoosha Laura Rubinfeld (@Mumoosha) reported

    Trying to cancel Foxtel is a nightmare. Alice in Wonderland insanity. Eighteen hours of back and forth online lunatic communication and still not able to get out of Foxtel. Any pointers?
