    @DJobling Hey David. Sorry to hear of your experience. Unfortunately a Foxtel Now service can only be paid by credit or debit card - we recommend speaking with Telstra directly to sort out this billing issue. Best of luck -Mac

  • amyepeden Dr Amy Peden (@amyepeden) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help internet outage and no repairs despite 6pm deadline coming and going and no response via the chat bot. Any help please??

  • mojojay Starbucky Barnes (@mojojay) reported

    A Discovery of Witches has been moved onto a channel that isn’t a part of my Foxtel subscription. Last year I could watch it no problems. This is a crime. A thirst tax! How dare they!

  • AngrygolferGary gary reid (@AngrygolferGary) reported

    @FoxCricket @Foxtel @kayosports Wow what a petulant little idiot he is.

  • amyepeden Dr Amy Peden (@amyepeden) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Thanks but as I said in my original tweet no response via tech support on chat? Coming up on 30 mins waiting to be connected in the technical queue in the app? This is seriously poor customer service

  • quaddietime QuaddiesRLyfe (@quaddietime) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help in the last week “No internet connection” has started to appear. Internet is working fine (no issues with Netflix, Stan, SBS, IView etc) Re-installed the app 3 times, which has done nothing. Any ideas?

  • larissenach Larissenach (@larissenach) reported

    @Sharona86912412 @KristineGolding @Outlander_STARZ Apparently it's a copyright issue & who owns the rights 2 the channel it's shown in individual countries.Starz own the rights in US & UK thus they can show it but nowhere else. I have to ask Foxtel here in Oz 2 get it earlier which is owned by Rupert Murdoch = not doing that

  • Pluggarunich Rubira (@Pluggarunich) reported

    @BenjaminSaid3 Never used too but? Have you got foxtel?? Cause every sub now includes foxtel go so you can stream from the app anywhere

  • bohdia Tim Coghl.\n (@bohdia) reported

    @PaulWilliams_85 @aleaguemen @10FootballAU Comes down to the fact that Ch9/Stan can amortise the cost of the software license and studio usage across football/NRL/Tennis/Rugby Union. Ch7 across AFL/Cricket. Foxtel across multiple sports. 10/Paramount need the NBL leagues or something else in the opposite season.

  • DJobling David Jobling 💉💉💉 (@DJobling) reported

    All of my afternoon up through to 8:30 tonight completely wasted with incompetent poor english communicators trying to pay a invoice that @Telstra neglected to pay and @FOXTEL_Help will only accept via credit card. The crappiest service ever! 💯Percent🐂💩

  • xspance Optimus Plagueis (@xspance) reported

    @cricketcomau Foxtel sucks. Well done for destroying the summer of cricket.

  • mikeredes The Masked OWL (@mikeredes) reported

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

    @ShaneB19 I dumped Foxtel six months ago and rely on live Streaming with Kayo, Netflix and others Murdoch has his tentacles around kayo but no other option for footie At least he is not getting the overcharged Foxtel service from me and I am free from the likes of Credlin Bolt etc

  • NoJabForMe 🇦🇺🇺🇲🇬🇧 UNITED ❤️ (@NoJabForMe) reported

  • Paulz20445090 Paulz (@Paulz20445090) reported from Westfield, State of Western Australia

    Im going to ditch Paramount+ if it plays up again. Serving errors, wrong program chosen etc. etc. Its like paying Foxtel just watch adverts. #PerthGlory v #Roar

  • Johnnyn33 Johnnyn3 (@Johnnyn33) reported

    @FoxCricket @Foxtel @kayosports Fix the camera angle from behind the bowler then tweet me so I can turn the game on again.

  • SlayerofMemes Slayer of Memes (@SlayerofMemes) reported

    Internet and Foxtel (NBN) connections off-line NBNCo says "no issues here, ring your service provider" Service Provider (iinet) says "no issue here it must be at NBN end, ring them" NBNCo say "no issues here, ring your service provider" *and the merry-go-round begins* 🤬🤬

  • simonpchurch Simon P Church (@simonpchurch) reported

    Has anything be tried to discuss your account online with @foxtel. Worst service ever. 1 hour and still confirming details. Been a customer for over 25 years #shocked

  • Bumutuyu CheryB💧 (@Bumutuyu) reported

    @TwoPaddocks Hi Sam, thought I saw you advertising Foxtel....was I having a bad dream?

  • Trisha_is_Back Trisha_is_back (@Trisha_is_Back) reported

    @SamNeill #auspol Are you so desperate for money you would do promotional adverts for the RWNJs at foxtel where skynewsaust is helping damage this country? Or are you just another RWNJ? So disappointing.

  • ShriekingVi 🐁🐀#ScottyDoesn'tGiveARats🐀🐁Psalm 109:8 (@ShriekingVi) reported

    @beginningofinf1 @ScottMorrisonMP You need to cancel your Foxtel subscription and detox 🙄

  • MrTVAus Mr TV Australia (@MrTVAus) reported

    @RonnyLerner So sad to see. CA completely ruined themselves with problem after problem and scandal after scandal after 2017, dating back to the doomed Seven-Foxtel broadcast deal and sandpaper-gate. T20Is used to pull 1 - 1.5m+ (5 city) on Ch 9 in the 2000s.

  • GovindaLange Govinda Lange (@GovindaLange) reported

    @mirandamohajrn It seems Homeland is now only on Binge (owned by Foxtel/Murdoch) in Australia. If you can’t stomach financing them, you might be able to watch it using Amazon Prime Video UK using a vpn or smart dns service.

  • DoctorVadarWho Doctor Vadar Who (@DoctorVadarWho) reported

    @binge @Foxtel can you please start supporting 4K HDR and if the content has Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos from $14 and $18 because you are the only streaming service not to support 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos

  • dazed_wandering Ryan J (@dazed_wandering) reported

  • amyepeden Dr Amy Peden (@amyepeden) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Hi what are the wait times or can we request assistance another way? We were on hold over an hour last night and had to hang up - issue still not resolved & impossible to work from home without internet

    @FoxCricket @Foxtel @kayosports THATS THE REASON NOONE BUY HIM IN IPL....TOTALLY GARBAGE ...BUT CAPTAIN OF AUSTRALIA

    @Foxtel promised callback hasn’t occurred. Customer service & escalation management is a joke to them.
