-
LeTigre (@LeTigre_12) reportedCan Foxtel turn down Garry Lyons microphone? He does not shut up
-
John the Baptist (@JohntheBapt1ser) reported@AlboMP Please make Foxtel number one target! They make it very difficult to cancel and make you go through a lengthy phone call. No online or postal option to cancel.
-
Adrian Sal (@adriansal80) reported@SC___Scout Have never and will never get kayo. I've had Foxtel since day one. Never one issue.
-
Luannsmugshot (@luannsmugshoot) reported@utahsocialite @Foxtel Lowkey season 5 was so bad the super strict Australian lockdowns killed the show
-
Dale in Perth 🔴⚪⚫ (@DaleTho45919445) reported@kayosports / @Foxtel why can’t we hear the crowd with your commentary? It sounds like you’re not even there!! Absolutely terrible!! It’s ANZAC Day and we’re stuck with inferior products
-
harleyw (@harleywattsconn) reported@ThoughtVacancy @wayne_kag @AlboMP It is a problem and it bloody well exists!!! Ever tried cancelling Optus Sport, BigPond Broadband or Foxtel? Try listening to Optus's "give me the simple life" hold music for 2 hours.
-
FixTechStuff 🛠️ (@FixTechStuff1) reported@purplepingers The hole for the Foxtel cable was likely drilled through the channel in the roof iron so water drips down when it rains. Happened with my satellite internet, 30 mins after installers left there was a downpour and a literal torrent of water poured out the wall plate into the modem
-
for whom the jelly rolls (@CosmoKramer1299) reported@FOXTEL_Help I am currently unable to stream the Freo-Hawks AFL game from last night. When I select stream, it is a 2 minute episode of In The Back Pocket instead of the game. Can you fix this please?
-
Franky Kugisaki (@FrankyKugisaki) reported@krzyasf4u @Vin_cent00 Nah just never watched this. I was a Ben 10 kid back in the day plus only my Grandma had Foxtel so I had no access to this show
-
Mustard (@Curiosooo123) reported@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.
-
𝓡𝓪𝓷𝓭 (@Randxme_) reported@utahsocialite @Foxtel Foxtel are **** because how tf do you cancel that masterpiece
-
Garry (@garry1951b) reported@Quartermain10 @7AFL Just as bad on @Foxtel / Kayo.
-
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.
-
Tom Baker (@Duckimusprime) reported@THECROWS_SHED @jarrodwalsh You drag up a club vs club **** in a post that criticising Foxtel?
-
𝓡𝓪𝓷𝓭 (@Randxme_) reported@utahsocialite @Foxtel Foxtel are **** because how tf do you cancel that masterpiece
-
Eilegend (@lipsarinna) reported@utahsocialite @Foxtel It was terrible I think we should do a petition for Binge to pick it back up
-
The Based Aussie (@BASEDAUSSIEM82) reported@AdamShurey @MikeCarlton01 Weird I've had subscriptions to hello fresh foxtel and anytime fitness cancelled all of them never had any of those issues. But then again I'm not a complete idiot
-
Alex Sar #DonTheSash (@alexmatthewsar) reported@NetballAust Well done to Netball Australia for a historic TV Rights Deal with the Nine Network for the next Five years and taking it off Foxtel.
-
Paul Corlson (@pauljc26) reportedThese commercials selling stuff are getting out of hand on @Foxtel, it's bad enough for pay to watch ads now we have to sit through this crap
-
Andrew (@amea05) reported@Foxtel wtf is going on... Ads in the middle of the Hawks GCS game and now no vision?
-
Jimmy (@JamesBa40189175) reported@ausbtcclub We get absolutely **** all for working hard here in Oz. I had job and separate business with mates. Struggled for 8 years and everyone made money from the business except us. Electricity, Gas, Foxtel, wages, rent, rates, tax, gst, employee super. @mrYodaJ @fiftyshadezof1
-
Brett Cox (@b_dog_78) reported@NicNegrepontis Foxtel is borderline unwatchable. Signal dropping in and out. There is no rain and not a breath of wind outside, so the “poor weather” excuse is not valid. Just a poor service all round.
-
Ethel May Smith (@EthelMaySmith) reported@JSchloeman45114 @RightPulseNewss Yes that's right! It's the same where I am, people who don't have Foxtel only get to see Local news & the ABC news which is very Biased to the Labor Government we have. Albanese puts Australia LAST and we're heading down the same path as the UK fast!
-
Jalin Cedar (@JalinCedar) reported@FOXFOOTY It’s almost time to cancel my Foxtel membership this is a disgrace. No mic on the umpire (viewer can’t hear whistle), and this camera angle is off centre? Are you guys serious?
-
Dustin Spriggs (@DustinSpriggs4) reported@puntingbattler @WSWanderingEels It’s near useless data imo. It doesn’t include Foxtel. It may be the same for Ch9 and the NRL but the Ch7 AFL commentary is garbage. No one that has the choice would be choosing that and the ads after goals
-
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.
-
Lori Marshall (@IdealLoriM) reportedTruly 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
-
twittaninja (@nathan_s4) reported@FOXTEL_Help hello there seems to be some issues with the paramount + app when trying to begin an episode of Ghosts (US version) it gets stuck after the preview has finished and as well if you skip the previews, not sure if it occurs with other show or not, please 🙏
-
Fellidd Paddmaye (@AlanBailey2) reported@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?
-
Alice Stewart 🦂 (@Theretributor) reported@Ausbobsmit Knifing Tony Baloney was a fine public service. You forget Tony brought us world slowest copper wire internet to save Rupert Murdoch’s satellite Foxtel crap from being dumped in the bin. The man in the photo had to sell the dog to us. Not me - I was one of first fibre connected.
