    @FOXTEL_Help Have just spent 20 minutes on the phone with customer service, have to wait and see if they have sorted it out

  • HackerMartian Martian.Hacker (@HackerMartian) reported

    @MrKRudd @acccgovau @FinancialReview Murdoch does not have a "Monopoly" - his newspapers outsell other newspapers. Foxtel does not have a "Monopoly" over PayTV. SkyNews does not have a "Monopoly" over News and Commentary. The more you crap on, the less anybody is interested.

  • N_Watson_ Nathan Watson 🇦🇺 (@N_Watson_) reported

    @Foxtel A phone call from you for a 5th day straight is getting very quickly bloody annoying, as is getting asked for my address and not getting an answer to 'why are you ringing me'. You have my name, number and address from having your service for 20 years anyway. Not happy.👎

  • xtinabomb xtinabomb (@xtinabomb) reported

    @sophieelsworth @SkyNewsAust No thanks! Cancel foxtel many years ago for crap like this!

  • Rockett2424 { Rockett } #AssociateProducerReleaseTheSnyderCut (@Rockett2424) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp I honestly appreciate the reply. Im in Australia. Theres a resounding LACK of Advertising & availability here, however it MAY be available on foxtel... Im throwing my support in to other countries where there isnt even a mention yet. Comeon, we want you to make $$$$ HELP US!

  • BMOUSA1 Maurice B (@BMOUSA1) reported

    @ALeague @Foxtel @kayosports Terrible for members who can't attend because they have work.

  • ajs__xo Alicia Sutherland (@ajs__xo) reported

    @Foxtel I’m having issues with Foxtel go on PS4 pausing and buffering every few seconds, where other streaming apps like Netflix, Stan and Disney+ are having no issues (so I know it’s not my internet). Have reinstalled app...still same problem. Help me plz!!!!

  • VBigbootsa Vincent Bigbootsa (@VBigbootsa) reported

    @RealMarkLatham Goes against their legal charter to be fair and balanced. I pay taxes and demand One Nation is given coverage on the woket@rd ABC or turn it into a subscription service. Those who want it can pay a monthly fee like Netflix or Skynews/Foxtel

  • omegaspur Thomas (@omegaspur) reported

    @ESPNAusNZ terrible audio sync on your @Foxtel coverage of #SuperBowlLV. Absolutely ruining the pre-game.

  • NancyGeorges Nancy Georges (@NancyGeorges) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help we have been loooong time customers so to not access ON DEMAND content is a slap in the face. You say "The IQ2 box does not support the full on demand content library you can get on newer boxes.:" BUT it DOES if we want to pay to download. @ACCAN_AU? #customerservice

  • vickswhy Vickisw (@vickswhy) reported

    @KristineGolding @sandrajmuirhead This is the response I got from Foxtel.. “it all comes down to our licensing agreement. We don't hold the rights to broadcast it at this stage. I'm not sure of which platform has picked it up, though”

  • alftracey Alan Tracey (@alftracey) reported

    @Telstra Foxtel on demand service has stopped and need a new set top box . Requested last Dec nothing has happened. Have been trying continuously to sort this out through the Telstra app help chat system for 3 days. Promises to help and no actual assistance. What can I do?

  • LittlePridders Aimee Pridmore (@LittlePridders) reported

    @Foxtel awful service today - took day off work for engineer to come. No contact and they aren’t coming. Earliest appointment next week now. Think we might be cancelling, so disappointed.

  • ashleystills Ashley Stills (@ashleystills) reported

    House sat over the weekend and had access to Foxtel. Spent more time channel surfing than actually watching anything. 156,763 channels and no content. I ended up watching the Warcraft movie. Wtf.

  • nostuforyou Stuart (@nostuforyou) reported

    @StanSportAU That's a deal breaker. Foxtel created Kayo, enabling people to break away from these ridiculous outdated cash grabs. $20 per month to watch my team play 4 games is absurd. I'm paying $5 for a far greater service on Kayo. Your executives are completely out of touch with the market

  • LittlePridders Aimee Pridmore (@LittlePridders) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help I have sent you a DM. I’d really appreciate a response from Foxtel ASAP so we can decide whether or not to cancel our service. Thanks

  • KathSwinbourne Kathleen Swinbourne (@KathSwinbourne) reported

    Hi @Foxtel I got an email from you on 1 Feb confirming my tv subscription would cease as of 8 Feb. I have no desire to spend half hour or more waiting on the phone to sort this out. Could you fix it please? Thanks

  • NbaStraya NBA Straya (@NbaStraya) reported

    wtf is going on with @ESPNAusNZ on @Foxtel cutting in & out of ads DURING fkn LIVE #NBA GAME PLAY!?

  • nickcartoonhell NICK (@nickcartoonhell) reported

    @AlanBaxter Big call, from an Australian. Not because of our whole "convict nation" thing... Just because TV networks give absolutely no ***** about us and Foxtel sucks.

  • mcgoo2uok Craig McCann (@mcgoo2uok) reported

    @BMcSport Probably the worst game to watch all year eh. Really enjoy the nfl and loved redzone when it was on foxtel.

  • ChawdaDevesh Devesh Chawda (@ChawdaDevesh) reported

    @Foxtel I'm having my exam for engineering 5th semester and I'm a subscriber of your network but every morning it shows no internet connection and your support team is not helping me... Please help me....

  • Imno_superman_ Pickled Pickle 🍍🍕 (@Imno_superman_) reported

    Phoned Foxtel to cancel my subscription 30-40 minute wait 🙄 Get ****** Which I reckon is complete BS anyway I’m canceling you scum bags & you will answer my ******* call 🖕

  • Dave_Matteo Dave (@Dave_Matteo) reported

    @fitba11 Telstra randomly shut off my mum's Foxtel even though it was under contract and basically just wouldn't admit they messed up. Took a month to be fixed and was a 3 click fix

  • fuzi_logic fuz (@fuzi_logic) reported

    @kayosports_help Not sure what Chromecast. But constantly buffers. Always. Never have an issue with foxtel go, or streaming apps. Only Kayo

  • yipyar brett mowbray (@yipyar) reported from Gold Coast, State of Queensland

    @Foxtel 20 years of giving you money and still can’t get decent service. Get your **** together #pissed

  • StephenCarlyon Stephen Carlyon (@StephenCarlyon) reported

    @AardigOranje Foxtel Telecast Director: Camera One is down, go to camera Tw- lol JM

  • lesleyanne12 Lesley (@lesleyanne12) reported

    @rohan_connolly @DameEmpress Nup didn’t last 36 seconds - can’t believe people actually pay for a foxtel subscription to watch this crap #RWNJ’s

  • jaxharls charlie🦁🍻 (@jaxharls) reported

    @Foxtel it is impossible to speak to an actual person and get some assistance with an issue I am having. Your phone service is appalling.

  • JaiRitter3 🌊Jai Ritter🌊🤘🤙🖕 (@JaiRitter3) reported

    @DaveMilbo When I had foxtel, everytime I opened the app it would always open to sky news first thing. I could never turn it off fast enough. I was like the flash, if the flash was on speed.

  • tenbobargument Noblesse Oblige (@tenbobargument) reported

    @Foxtel @foxsports. Can't believe it. I rush home from work to watch recordings of Six-nations on @beinsports. And brilliant matches each have recordings cut-off 10 minutes before end. Doesn't anyone there care or know how to remotely control IQ recorders? Customer care - zero!
