    Hey Foxtel, just wanted to give you guy a huge high-five! I'm a rejoining customer after six month break (need more entertainment in lockdown!) and everything seems improved. Bundled Netflix, Ultra HD channels, Prime coming and self-install, excited about IQ5. Thanks all :)

  • Kieferftbl Kiefer 🇦🇺🇩🇪 (@Kieferftbl) reported

    @StanSportFC This is **** no one is paying for foxtel Optus Stan paramount just to watch footy in aus

  • fake_rwhyde Richard Hyde (@fake_rwhyde) reported

    I gave up #Foxtel after being made redundant but nobody warned me how woefully bad free to air television has become in Australia. Only for people who like reality tv nonsense or apparently every episode of Friends, The Big Bang Theory and NCIS. It's abysmal! 🤮🤮🤮 #FTA

  • Sydneysider1310 Shellee (@Sydneysider1310) reported

    @JaneCaro @BBCFirstAus Apparently I'd need to pay for Foxtel to view & I've never done that, nor will I ever. As for Fetch, forget about it. But I'll take your word.

  • itsrenatak Renata (@itsrenatak) reported

    We have season 3 of Good Trouble in Australia on Foxtel and I am not sure if it is on Binge too. Binge seems to have the same content as Foxtel so Binge must be a subsidiary of Foxtel or is it owned by Foxtel.

  • PaulLenkic Paul Lenkic (@PaulLenkic) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Intermittent @Telstra NBN and @Foxtel issues all of a sudden! The worst timing ever! 🤬

  • Thee_Instig8or The Instigator🌏 (@Thee_Instig8or) reported

    Foxtel died on me so I’m on livenewsnow. US medication advertisements are scary as ****. Especially when I see one that I take!

  • COYS98301578 Macca (@COYS98301578) reported

    People need to stop subscribing to services like @StanAustralia sport fans being held down and *** ***** by these awful money-hungry streaming services. You need FOUR separate services to watch all the football this year. Long gone are the days it was all on @Foxtel #UCL

  • TimeCertainRace TimeCertainClock (@TimeCertainRace) reported

    @speedcafe Afew issues i see are tv rights. Will foxtel be showing all the event? What happens with the pits. Also not fair to the classes who get stuck racing mid week cos not everyone will be able to race saturday sunday

  • lesbianmarilyn Marilyn Fredricks (@lesbianmarilyn) reported

    @Foxtel @Wentworth Ohhh ****!!

  • SamIsNotOnATram Sam (@SamIsNotOnATram) reported

    hate it when I make a tweet gettin angry at some idiots on tv. just don't watch the garbage. don't give the idiots any "rent in my head". aarrggh. I ONLY have Fox for the soccer mainly. I'm lucky we can afford it. Most can't @Foxtel

  • D_Keating D “Now with 5G!” Keating (@D_Keating) reported

    It’s actually amazing that even Foxtel have pulled the NBN’s pants down on this issue. Their IQ5 box is basically streaming only, and guess what bandwidth you’ll need for that!

  • BetDetective BD (@BetDetective) reported

    @IEOKIITI1 @vasman60 I've got Foxtel, Stan, Netflix, Prime and Apple TV and you obviously have every other streaming service known to man

  • haz61283189 haz (@haz61283189) reported

    Constant crashes, different TVs. Constant sign outs. Buffering so slow (no internet issues - just Foxtel). Resume TV show fails frequently. Adverts repeat 2 or 3 times the same advert, if it doesn’t crash in the middle.

  • gassian1964 Ian Gass (@gassian1964) reported

    @SquizzSTK You have to wonder why Rupert continues to Promote this Idiot is it any wonder Foxtel is in Decline.

  • FilthyCapp 🔞-Filthyism-🔞 (@FilthyCapp) reported

    Why does #ythelastman have to be on #foxtel how about **** off #foxtel

  • bigmanvandijk noah (@bigmanvandijk) reported

    @lfclachlan Oh I have Stan already but $25 is so **** I might just bin off Foxtel

  • Hectic5iveLives Hectic (@Hectic5iveLives) reported

    Foxtel sucks.

  • tatsgirlsyd tatsgirl (@tatsgirlsyd) reported

    FFS! Those stupid @CraigKellyMP tv ads are ruining my TV watching! Thank god for the back button on the foxtel remote!!! #fuckoffcraigkelly.

  • stevendoyle Steven Doyle (@stevendoyle) reported

    @Foxtel any chance of ever getting cnn in a decent resolution ?

  • duncanfine duncan fine (@duncanfine) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help why is there never any reception for the ABC? Is this a Murdoch conspiracy?

  • BrittA2211 Toss a Coin to Your Photographer (@BrittA2211) reported

    @Mario__Bones Same with wrestling. WWE has ****** itself with Foxtel deal. It airs live (middle of a work day), then they put the replay up. But, they take up to THREE DAYS to put the replay up. I used to pay for Foxtel just for wrestling and ended up cancelling bc it was never up in time

  • SteveMolk The Guidefather 👍🇦🇺📺 (@SteveMolk) reported

    @gsyoung Yes, and no. Foxtel offer a heap of different channels, so if you combine their audience it's not bad. Also they 'only' have 25% penetration in the market, so they come off a lower base anyway. Nobody has to pay to listen to your community radio station.

  • creativejimsez Creative Jim 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 📷 🖥🍷🍸🇦🇺 (@creativejimsez) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @LFC_Australia @DanMacPherson @StanSportAU Indeed. Same **** as Foxtel pulled for years 🙄🤮

  • haz61283189 haz (@haz61283189) reported

    And this is the same issues I had 2 years ago in a different house, using the Foxtel Now box. No issues with any other streaming apps at all. Made me cancel subscription back then as Foxtel just blamed my internet. Nothing wrong with internet - just a very poor Foxtel product.

  • Postie221 Paul Humphries (@Postie221) reported

    @RedSeaDownUnder and yes it sucks the way the football rights have become so diluted- but even with all the streaming services I currently have I’m paying less than I was 5 yrs ago with foxtel

  • joshthelad3 josh ladd 💉💉 (@joshthelad3) reported

    @FFACup @simonhill1894 Can’t watch via TV App, need to chromecast via my phone..joke that is what 10play APP is for TV….never thought I’d miss Foxtel coverage..but gees how bad is @10SportAU and their IT department re the TV app. 2nd night in a row

  • haz61283189 haz (@haz61283189) reported

    @Foxtel how is it possible that over two years ago I had issues with the Foxtel app on tv, left Foxtel and now back again and the app is as terrible as before. So unstable and horrible to use. Looks like I won’t be sticking around again for long when so $$$

  • AusSportsGuy1 Aus Sports Guy (@AusSportsGuy1) reported

    @Reillyhead32 @neilsherwin Yeah I feel @StanSportAU have missed a trick with having to pay the extra on top of your normal Stan subscription to access it. Makes it feel very Foxtel with neededong to get multiple subscriptions from the same service if you just want UCL etc

  • berniecoen Bernie Coen (@berniecoen) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Oh forgot to add the couldn't answer after being on phone for 40 mins Will NEVER phone again.. used the chat The so called tech support on phone had NO IDEA
