    @Foxtel I sent an email to Foxtel and tried to make a follow up phone call. But the live chat cut out. My wife passed away on Friday and I have no interest in television so I want to cancel my account.

    Please someone explain - Why is AFL on Foxtel with a Hindi call - WTF has this country become. “Time to rid the gardening of twitch”

    I misspoke, the Foxtel go app is just as bad as kayo.

    The WU are unlikely coming back and Reddit Rumours that Macarthur are handing back their licence. Literally every Code Football article is negative. I hope David Gallop never gets a job again and that Foxtel/Kayo is liquidated and offshored by DAZN. #BestLeagueInTheWorld

    i did a mock order on the foxtel website to see how much it would be to potentially get one. ever since i’ve had them calling me 5-7 times a day 😭 one way to lose a potential customer!

    Why the bloody hell has foxtel still got the stupid seinfeld channel ? Why not a friends channel ? Or a married with children channel ? A frasier/cheers channel ? So many better options than that absolutely stupid show having its own channel

    @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 .

    @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

    @cmkusher @NRL @kayosports Foxtel has some good deals now, I am going to flick it and go with them, the recent updated app brought in a whole new realm of issues for me. Enough is enough.

    @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 @FOXTEL_Help How are we meant to watch anything when we keep getting playback errors popping up the last 2 days? Surely you come up with a resolution

    @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!

    @Foxtel day off 3 games of NBA and you pick the worst game to show.

    @Foxtel can someone explain to me why I can stream ANY movie on ANY streaming service no issues. I can play MMO's at 60fps, no issues. But, I cannot watch a simple game of NRL without you guys killing my viewing pleasure with 2 minutes of game time, and 5 minutes of buffering?

    Get in son. Foxtel went down with the rain lol. Delayed abc radio FL.

    @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.

    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

  • vanOnselenP
    PVO (@vanOnselenP) reported

    I watch almost zero free-to-air tv these days, but had to watch 9 NRL tonight bc my Foxtel was down. It’s almost unwatchable compared to Foxtel. The call was good enough, but the commentary was mind numbing. Despite the pedigree of those doing it. Surprisingly bad!

    @RayJCapo79 @kayosports Reach that short arm into your deep pockets and come to the Foxtel side Pisano. Never seen a green circle in my life.

    @adriansal80 @SC___Scout You got a foxtel box or the streaming version of foxtel? Cause I can’t handle Kayo. The streams are awful. It’s delayed and the app is beyond pathetic.

  • SydneyCityTV
    SydneyCityTV (@SydneyCityTV) reported

    @gerardmmkl Are News Corp possibly nervous that Foxtel may lose the NRL rights? Because I'm quite sure that people will follow the NRL to Stan or whichever other streaming service the coverage may end up at instead, just as there was a kind of exodus from Optus to Foxtel about 25 years ago.

    @matt__nicholls Pretty sure @Foxtel rely on many subscribers just being to lazy or not being bothered to go through process and of cancelling What other reason wouod there be for a Foxtel customer not being able to simply cancel on line ?

    @JFalleiro Jeepers. I try to cancel my foxtel and I have the retention department sending me emails, and them giving me deals I don’t want over the phone! I can’t escape them! I feel sad hearing all this. I genuinely do.

  • winrgrin06
    Daran Murphy (@winrgrin06) reported

    @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.

    @ranmasaotome96 Game of Thrones being locked down by Foxtel forced it. I would have bought day-of released episodes via iTunes or Xbox Video if given the option. But nooooo- had to go sign an exclusivity deal with Foxtel.
