  • CMESK8n SK8Gav (@CMESK8n) reported

    @Foxtel your phone customer service is a joke, your prices are a joke .. where I the watchdog, the monopolisation of pay TV is ridiculous.. something needs to change

  • macec88 Mace (@macec88) reported

    @gleebo41 @sincerestseth Or people will cancel the current subscription service which is higher cost per month with Foxtel and change over?

  • al_nz Alister L (@al_nz) reported

    As much as people love to bag Foxtel etc, how do you all feel now that you have to pay for Kayo, Stan, Pararmount+, Optus etc etc etc just for sports? Fragmentation of content sucks and it's going to get worse.

  • Luke_West Luke West (@Luke_West) reported

    @Craillsy Mass exodus from Foxtel to Kayo, thus cannibalising revenue. It didn’t foresee losing so many premium subs who have migrated to its lower cost option. True, it’s built its customer base, but its come at the cost of longtime subscribers now paying a fraction what they once did.

  • bozwhite Boz (@bozwhite) reported

    @Don_Erebus I was on the slow line to weening off Foxtel anyway. Got rid of Foxtel in November 2020 as there were a few gremlins with the system. It was due to be shutdown January 2021. Have kayo since as fox lite. Have said whomever got aleague, that is what I would get.

  • sockoh channel sean (@sockoh) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help got the black screen of death. Can see all the menus, watch Netflix just cannot see any programs on. Whats the issue?

  • Matthew82701309 Matthew Murphy (@Matthew82701309) reported

    @Foxtel Why would anyone waste money on Foxtel. Overpriced with very little content. An outdated service. Unsubscribe now and spend your money on something worthwhile and don’t give a cent to Murdoch.

  • motogpnz Anthony McCarthy (@motogpnz) reported

    @tom_mc_c @FOXSportsAUS @SantoSamEd You don't. I kicked Foxtel to the kurb 14 months ago, never looked back. Kayo goes for good after the last kick of the A-League. Streaming is where it's at now.

  • DougBlack7 Doug Black (@DougBlack7) reported

    @neilsherwin Optus may have had its issues at the start, and still has its issues. But now it's far better than Foxtel ever was. I also found that differnt devices had differnt issues when streaming, Eg, my cheap Android TV is **** to stream Optus, but on my Macbook Pro it's mint 👌

  • mattySP__ Matt (@mattySP__) reported

    @steveburgess23 As it is you could have 4 or 5 different services and still wind up paying less than Foxtel was when they were the only game in town so it's not all bad even if you did need a few

  • MichelleDuthie DJR GIRL1217 (@MichelleDuthie) reported

    @PerthGloryFC @ALeague @WLeague WTF? So no longer on foxtel?

  • DeanRosario Dean Rosario (@DeanRosario) reported

    And, time to say Adios, Auf Wiedersehen, Sayōnara & the more universally recognised🖕🏾 to Foxtel, FoxtelNow, FoxtelPlay, FoxtelGo, Kayosport & all Murdoch Media. No more listening to commentators chattering & giggling about irrelevant garbage during football matches.

  • Jody_Robzz Jodz (@Jody_Robzz) reported

    On one hand I'm pleased with new #Aleague deal. As its not foxtel. But another streaming service - PLEASE NO

  • cooks4luv lacie (@cooks4luv) reported

    @Foxtel Foxtel sucks

  • paulsperfect Pauls Perfect (@paulsperfect) reported

    @Rogereconomics @meadea @PatsKarvelas Morrison gifted Foxtel $40 million is that not our taxes? ABC is the public broadcaster and has been for many years providing a valuable service for country ppl which privately owned media doesn’t serve.

  • anthony06108170 Anthony (@anthony06108170) reported

    @footyindustryAU This is part of a terrible pattern for sports fans. Fans have to subscribe to multiple streaming services to watch different leagues. Soccer fans now have to subscribe to Paramount for ALeague, Optus for EPL & Kayo/Foxtel for German, Italian & French leagues. Rugby is the same

  • Mike76fishdog 🇳🇿 Fire Dragon 🇳🇿 (@Mike76fishdog) reported

    @Amaralee23 @altern8ending A good reason to cancel Foxtel

  • ColinBoer Quazi (@ColinBoer) reported

    Sucks how @kayosports doesn’t support more devices such as #fetchtv, XBOX or PlayStation. Asked this same question years ago and still not available. Even the app on AppleTV is pretty average. After all this time #foxtel is still the worst by trying to monopolize content #kayo

  • madswansfan Leanne D (@madswansfan) reported

    @DanielGarb No improvement for fans really. Still only 1 gsme on free to air with all other games on (yet another) streaming service. Only extra is a new pregame show but Foxtel had one for years.

  • AtheAstronaut Alex the Astronaut (@AtheAstronaut) reported

    How about no jab no Netflix/Stan/Binge/Foxtel Go/ Disney plus/ ABC Iview/SBS On Demand access. Problem solved.

  • Julie_Linsley Julie (@Julie_Linsley) reported

    @mvyrmnd @nobby15 ****... it's only Foxtel. I'd better call the kids.

  • LRH38 LRH38 (@LRH38) reported

    Been in Melbourne for a few days, no Foxtel, had to look at the absolute crap the TV stations show down there

  • JForever267 JRForever267 (@JForever267) reported

    @DeathtoALeague @smfcmike @Channel10AU There problem now. In Fact, Foxtel should celebrate this as they are free and able to focus on their sporting strengths

  • KanteBeStopped7 Kanτε_ΣΖN 🇦🇺🇬🇷 (@KanteBeStopped7) reported

    I won’t be subscribing to this ‘paramount plus’ **** for the a league next season. Already paying for Foxtel Optus sport etc the a league is no where near good enough or big enough to warrant getting a whole new service. Awful greedy decision from the @ALeague

  • LandoRocks Lando_Rocks (@LandoRocks) reported

    @RunThemMemes Will dump Foxtel ASAP, the three boxes and Premium is costing me $150 a month and I should have probably just switched to Kayo and Binge a while ago but kept going as a sort of support the game thing but I’m done now. Ciao Foxtel
