  • TinkerTigerBell 💖🦄Stacey🦄💖 (@TinkerTigerBell) reported

    So now my @Foxtel is not working and the only solution it seems from them is to switch to satellite and not fix this issue🙄 I have a solution and that would involve me saving $139 a month 😡

  • frankie_1987 Frankie (@frankie_1987) reported

    @KennyBania_ @macktruck81 @joelgibson No no you should subscribe to every single service available, including foxtel. Big brain

  • DaveBurn74 Dave Burn (@DaveBurn74) reported

    Sitting in the car listening to my wife try and cancel our Foxtel subscription. **** they make it hard. Not listening to her and repeatedly trying to to talk her into keeping it.

  • Dm24345643 Dm (@Dm24345643) reported

    @SkyNewsAust Well who really cares since it's only on Foxtel, another Murdoch scum network

  • AnthonyP2201 Anthony Pirrello (@AnthonyP2201) reported

    @JulianBuff Why can’t they just add it to a current streaming service like Optus Sport or Stan… gone are the days of foxtel 🥲

  • LindaDrummond LindaLindaLinda (@LindaDrummond) reported

    @kellybakermedia @Telstra The killer for us is that Matt signed up to Foxtel, then we switched to Telstra (in my name) so HE has to call and cancel, then they put me on, then him again. NIGHTMARE! You've reminded me to try again tomorrow. Sigh. Grrr

  • waynol Wayne Liubinskas (@waynol) reported

    @ElaineStead Hey @ElaineStead HNY! Do you have NBN and also do you have Foxtel? There are some tests Telstra can do to try to improve things with NBN. Sometimes if there is Foxtel, the cable is split at the home and this drops your network out.

  • TinkerTigerBell 💖🦄Stacey🦄💖 (@TinkerTigerBell) reported

    And now the dumb arse wants to switch me to satellite to solve their problem 🙄 @Foxtel is not accepting the problem is at their end

  • PeterJamesRoth6 Peter James Rothe (@PeterJamesRoth6) reported

    @erfbeeass 2015 SA Public Hospitals only had FOXTEL - $15/day or $50/wk. Idea was sold on lie it would feature public health messages. Never happened. Nurses spent hours doing Murdoch's job especially when patients moved wards and forgot their pin. Last week pleased to see back to free TV.

  • PaulHenry524 Babylonian Debt forgiver... 💉 (@PaulHenry524) reported

    The (mandated) move from legacy Telstra / Foxtel CoAx (past its life) to NBN is an ongoing nightmare. We are still playing hide-and-seek with @Telstra . @NBN_Australia tech hooked up. Checked signal strength. Tried out NBN-ready wifi router; wouldn’t connect. He attached …

    @fluffyzr1 @Jidion6 nah its on foxtel hbo and ****

  • dianemcostello Whither democracy & humanity? (@dianemcostello) reported

    @rennaestubbs @fullontennis To repeat the solution ... I started using Stan last year when the commercial stations were appalling (never the matches I wanted, adverts, talking heads, not tennis), and Foxtel (BeIn, ESPN) has no broadcast rights for #AO. $20/mth can watch any/every match, live or full replay.

  • CooperCodes Coopeя 🧑🏼‍💻 🦄 (@CooperCodes) reported

    @TimHuttonAu @binge I don’t have Binge cause I’ve got a login for Foxtel. But the Netflix app bonks out on my Xbox Series X. So I understand your frustrations

  • believekong travelman (@believekong) reported

    @MrKRudd Surely a Royal Commission must be set up after Labor wins the election. Morrison's failings must be brought into account. Each death. Slow on quarantine, vaccinations, RATS, no free rats, aged care shambles, rorts, corruption- grants to foxtel, great barrier reef $$to mates.

  • ACOPNate Nathan Patrech (@ACOPNate) reported

    @BigTimStiles @ComicsNerd2 It’s basically foxtel’s streaming service.

  • TinkerTigerBell 💖🦄Stacey🦄💖 (@TinkerTigerBell) reported

    Called @Foxtel aka the call centre in India and they admit the problem is their end (pretends to be shocked) they will try and fix it from their end within the next 3 hours so it will be fixed by tomorrow or the next day

  • Tommystojch Tommy (@Tommystojch) reported

    Best catch - rank them Simmo trying work out what a ******* wide is Pointless other **** Foxtel bbl coverage #BBL2021 #Painful

  • tgoldswo Dr. Terry Goldsworthy 🇦🇺 (@tgoldswo) reported

    @Foxtel @Wayneyid Same here since the update a couple of days ago Foxtel keeps asking me to log in with the same error code. It used to have to be restarted constantly, they need to fix this or I'll CANCEL.

  • Wayneyid Wayne Hudson (@Wayneyid) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Hi, I’ve contacted your tech team twice and they couldn’t help, I don’t have more time to waste, cancelling now thanks

  • Wayneyid Wayne Hudson (@Wayneyid) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help This is still not working, can you advise if Foxtel are looking into a resolve with this issue?

  • emptycab Ed Healey (@emptycab) reported

    30 million to foxtel...40 million to hillsong 450 million to the gbrf..22 million to gerry harvey tonga has an emergency call for help..1 million gee the budget must really be stuffed

  • TheTechPundit Peter McBryde (@TheTechPundit) reported

    If you have a Foxtel subscription and wish to end it or change it to something else, you can use this guide and learn how to cancel Foxtel Now

  • jvendra Jo Borg (@jvendra) reported

    @Telstra are hopeless I rang and cancelled my Foxtel and sim for my iPad on the 30th of December. After I told the women to cancel it she then went on about the bill so I had a disagreement with her. Now I find she did not cancel it and I have been billed an extra month

  • RainBromo Rain (@RainBromo) reported

    If my life is going to be busier now, and I want to stay up to date… I guess I gotta just watch what pops up on his channel. Tucker I wish was easier to reliably have, but without paying money to foxtel go. I hate the hunting. And I’m on a mission to simplify like **** this year

  • Boris5Ross Boris R (@Boris5Ross) reported

    @justwo7 @MettaBhavana1 Yes. We knew this was his intention. Im sure he told Morrison in NYC last year to wind down ABC funding, which happened. And Foxtel got a $40M free kick. #corruption #ICAC

  • openpoliticsAU open politics (@openpoliticsAU) reported

    @TomSesselmann @mwalinu Given there are 227 pollies in parliament that’s a total outlay from ASTRA/foxtel of $363K. An investment or a donation to ‘support democracy’?

  • robertm10611533 robert mill (@robertm10611533) reported

    @championjoshadl Well it is not working that method as far as I can seen. The only thing that really works is stopping giving them your money. I did this with Foxtel. Hope it works but it could take a while.

  • Psyberus Psyberus (@Psyberus) reported

    @GuardianAus Australian Government: $30 million gifted to Foxtel/Rupert Murdoch company - LNP supporter & donor. $22 million gifted to Harvey Norman - LNP supporter & donor. $42 million gifted to Hillsong Church - ran by Morrison's best friend. . . $1 million to support Tonga.

  • scrumblebum1 Scrumblebum (@scrumblebum1) reported

    Still having issues with @FOXTEL_Help ….results now no response as I mentioned I might want some compensation.

  • ACOPNate Nathan Patrech (@ACOPNate) reported

    @BigTimStiles @ComicsNerd2 But without being ****, like foxtel
