    @HauvilleDaniel @BenFordhamLive 5G will never compete with the speed of fiber optics Simple if roll out had been done properly . But it didnt suit MurMucKs foxtel so taxpayers paid billions chucking copper into fibre . What a mess

  • GidgitVonLaRue Gidgit VonLaRue (@GidgitVonLaRue) reported

    Ok so people can bag Netflix - but there are no commercials & unlike ******* @Foxtel @FoxtelAus @AmazonPri #Amazonprime, Netflix do not hit me up for extra cost to watch a movie made in 1999! For **** sake. Pieces of ****. Office Space $14 dollars. Get pissed! Greedy *******.

  • LeapingLarryL Leaping Larry L (@LeapingLarryL) reported

    @Sausage_n_Chips I had a look at what was on Foxtel (on demand) and it basically seems to be the same deal. There is a lot of the WWE network stuff, but limited amounts of what used to be there re the other territories. However if you search WCW some of that turns up, and one AWA show.

  • dean_aus Dean (@dean_aus) reported

    @AndrewKirbyGolf Will it be free to air? Or a streaming service? Can't see it in the Foxtel guide

  • tigerpops69 Peter P (@tigerpops69) reported

    @Foxtel hate the new scrolling Channel boxes - can’t tell what is what… especially with the sports channels Please revert this back to what it was. Terrible upgrade

  • SCInsider100 SuperCoach Insider (@SCInsider100) reported

    @zanerednwhite @Foxtel I was so livid last year and told them. They own Kayo so at the minimum, Foxtel need to make it available on FoxtelGo. Please tell me @Foxtel are going to stream it this year? I'll double down and complain again if not.

  • DrEmmaJane Special Tramp Dana Scully (@DrEmmaJane) reported

    Am currently staying with my brother and his internet connection is pretty poor, so I’m … watching Foxtel. I feel *****.

  • NDidi61 *•*•* NannyDidiJovi61*•*•* (@NDidi61) reported

    @kayosports_help Thank you, got the Fire Stick for Xmas, did not know it was not compatible. Put my chromecast back in but still having trouble. I surrender for now. Will stream via Foxtel go.

  • angACT angisjustexisting🪷 (@angACT) reported

    cannot wait to see what foxtel's billing department says tomorrow. my service was meant to be reduced not suspended altogether @foxtel @acccgovau

  • WillDekness Will_DeKness (@WillDekness) reported

    @BelindaJones68 What you fail to realise is that Foxtel news and Murdoch live in your head rent free. Be grateful, most subscribers have to pay.

  • Protenpinner Clifford Stewart (@Protenpinner) reported

    @mongie0 Honestly, Foxtel wasn't this bad. Every handful of games it would go, Paramount+ is every game.

  • birdnoises David Kapernick (@birdnoises) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @mishmishymish @FOXTEL_Help Not working at New Farm 😕

  • terratko Tj (@terratko) reported

    @ThoughtsOfAGM @ParamountPlusAU They should be offering compensation when they stuff up Stan,Foxtel, Netflix's have when they had technical issues. We are paying for a service

  • thisisophtrying sophie 13 (@thisisophtrying) reported from Port Macquarie, State of New South Wales

    @Lavishka i wish i could afford foxtel cause i’m sure that would solve all my problems

  • gemma92rogers gemma rogers (@gemma92rogers) reported

    This storm is so bad and loud. Foxtel keeps cutting in and out

  • birdnoises David Kapernick (@birdnoises) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    @Telstra outage Foxtel New Farm 4005 Brisbane. Help ?

  • Type217 Type217 @vormamim.com (@Type217) reported

    @Foxtel No, it’s crap. Mostly people get it because they can’t get signal. The box is bad, the remote is bad … urge.

  • wwesupercard619 🇦🇺Supercardaddict🇦🇺 (@wwesupercard619) reported

    AEW on foxtel now might give it a watch never watched it before #foxtel #aew

  • LeapingLarryL Leaping Larry L (@LeapingLarryL) reported

    @Sausage_n_Chips Yes, I saw. First ep of Rampage they showed, the lost the opening and the ending. This is possibly going to be a chronic problem watching via ESPN feed, so for now, I’m holding on to the Fite AEW subscription. A lot of what used to be WWE network stuff is now also on Foxtel.

  • gavflano Gavin Flanagan (@gavflano) reported

    Just tried to rewind the live @aleaguemen game on @ParamountPlusAU with ny @Foxtel remote. Epic fail. 😫

  • klqac kl qac (@klqac) reported

    @matcoch I would if Foxtel knew anything about it @foxtel customer service is hopeless. I've been waiting since last year, now the week of testing it hasn't arrived and they have no knowledge or timeline.

  • JakeWeberGuitar Jake Weber (@JakeWeberGuitar) reported

    @Higgo74 The Last of Us Also, you get some great live channels. We’d never get Foxtel again I don’t think, but the app is good. Can be pretty glitchy though

  • augamr Auzzie! (@augamr) reported

    @Foxtel Foxtel is ****

  • GourmetMale GourmetMale - NOT a DJ (@GourmetMale) reported

    @fictillius It’s incredible how poor the NBN is. In the year and a half back we’ve had a dozen outages. And now that Foxtel is internet based we lose everything in an outage.

  • Gillian75871887 G (@Gillian75871887) reported

    @TheAtlantic @TurnbullMalcolm @brianstelter This is the trouble with Murdoch entities. this man still thinks controversial subjects will sell papers & incite people to buy Foxtel. No-one with any intelligence will continue to support this man's enterprises.

  • ArohaSakaria Aroha Sakaria (@ArohaSakaria) reported

    @Foxtel why is your cancellation process so drawn out. It took 3 transfers and 3 verification checks for my elderly parents to cancel a service. You kept them on hold multiple times and still tried to offer them a cheaper package after they told you they did not want to continue.

  • Brendanoz Brendan O'Neill (@Brendanoz) reported

    @BringBackMonkey Did you find a way to stream this? I may have an idea that involves you downloading the foxtel go app & using my mother-in-laws login details...

  • dogsabie1 Dogsabie (@dogsabie1) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help I am pig sick of Foxtel. I have been a customer for many years. Trying to actually speak to someone is virtually impossible. There are so many alternatives available these days. Im done.

  • Cat_Craftter charlie 🐷👑 (@Cat_Craftter) reported

    FOXTEL WAS FINE! MY TIMING HOWEVER ****! I don't have enough time to finish the new ep 😭

  • Real_AncientJay Ancient Jay (@Real_AncientJay) reported

    @news_australian You can't seriously use the word honest & Scott Morrisons name in the same sentence, this is the man who gave us the patchwork disaster of a broadband network to keep his paymaster Rupert's Cash Cow Foxtel safe from high speed streaming services. #corruptioninoffice #Treason
