  • SWatMR11 Scott W (@SWatMR11) reported

    @moen_debra One is a private channel that one can simply refuse to not pay for (I don't have Foxtel). One can't make that choice with the ABC. No one says cancel it like the calls to ban Murdoch, rather let it stand on its own merit. If attractive enough it will survive.

  • CatherineAldrid Catherine Aldridge (@CatherineAldrid) reported

    @JonesHowdareyou @SandyJB57 Too bad it's owned by Foxtel.

  • angel100359 SILKY (@angel100359) reported

    @Foxtel Can’t wait to cancel Foxtel

  • traingirl21 Michelle Moulton (@traingirl21) reported

    @Foxtel help! I’m trying to find From Cradle to Stage as advertised on MTV Classic and can’t find it 😩

  • FHoulahan Fran Houlahan (@FHoulahan) reported

    Cheers @Foxtel nearly a week with no service and the promise of a call in 48 hours. Useless organisation

  • bado_west Baden 🎗 (@bado_west) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Come on! The senate estimate web page allows it!!! Fix your game @FOXTEL_Help

  • LukeAFoley Skippy Johnston 🦘 (@LukeAFoley) reported

    Email from Foxtel. Sucking up and begging me not to cancel. **** off. It’s done.

  • brieswag Brie 🥲 (@brieswag) reported

    @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help can you fix your foxtelgo’s capability to connect with a chromecast because it’s currently pathetic thank u

  • Bur_T83 Tom Burton (@Bur_T83) reported

    @RhysAUS @kayosports_help I think the best way to deal with @kayosports_help is to have very limited expectations! I've had no data issues with any other streaming services - Foxtel, Binge, Stan or Netflix!

  • mooresaoz brian moore (@mooresaoz) reported

    @Foxtel quick question: why do i need to call to cancel my subscription, can I do this online!

  • hef_mark Mark (@hef_mark) reported

    @FOXFOOTY Time to cancel my Foxtel subscription

  • PeterRo58677006 Peter Robinson (@PeterRo58677006) reported

    @messengitis You seem to neglect the Federal government money that comes to your subscription service provider: Foxtel. Oh, you forgot about those grants?

  • FHoulahan Fran Houlahan (@FHoulahan) reported

    @Garry69914264 @Foxtel Lost us. More money to spend on something else. Rubbish customer service.

  • therealsirstiv Stiv (@therealsirstiv) reported

    @Foxtel Anything with the rock is garbage

  • trevorlong Trevor Long (@trevorlong) reported

    @MattCJChisholm @kayosports Because Foxtel subscribers are mad. Cancel; and get Kayo!

  • KrikSteven St Gough BAN FOREIGN OWNED MEDIA IN AUSTRALIA (@KrikSteven) reported

    @markxsyst @victorklineTNL 1. I am not in Canada 2. I refuse to pay murdoch for his liers 3. clearly you do support foxtel because you know that are saying

  • innocentsteph Steph (@innocentsteph) reported

    @BradHend14 @Foxtel I only got half the game yesterday... same crap every week.

  • thebigardo Ardo (@thebigardo) reported

    @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help Not really sure why I bothered staying up for the Indy 500 Qualifying with your poor coverage. I don’t think I’ve seen a complete lap or a interview debrief, but I sure do enjoy the 2 and a half minute ad breaks every 5 minutes. Full price for half coverage.

  • pferrari27 Paul. (@pferrari27) reported

    @kayosports how do I have your service and know that I am not providing a source of income to ray Hadley? #nrl #nrl360 @Foxtel

  • Kathw1201 Kath Warr (@Kathw1201) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help This has been an ongoing problem I’ve had and have never received assistance. Using streaming services and disconnecting foxtel was much easier than more trouble shooting but thanks.

  • mickcarroll89 Michael Carroll (@mickcarroll89) reported

    @atr3367 I just pay foxtel to avoid the stress, never fails

  • Geo_LFC GeoRed1_LFC (@Geo_LFC) reported

    @LukeAFoley Best thing I ever did was cancel Foxtel. Have replaced with pretty much all streaming services and still cheaper!

  • BradHend14 BH14 (@BradHend14) reported

    Really disappointed i pay for a service.. record as the time says on my IQ add 20mins but the game cuts off with 3mins to go in the THIRD QTR! Not good enough Fox @Foxtel #Nostarsonthatone

  • Garry69914264 Garry (@Garry69914264) reported

    @FHoulahan @Foxtel I gave them the boot 2 years ago, terrible service and the product seems to be watered down every year , Kayo, Netflix and Stan for us now 👍🏻

  • Draak4s Draak (@Draak4s) reported

    @Foxtel For less than $59 a month, and with no lock in contracts, I can enjoy several streaming services with no ads. Why would anyone want to sign up to the garbage you have to offer?

  • JustinBol27 Justin (@JustinBol27) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Coverage was down 11:30 pm when the #PGAChamp was scheduled to begin. Came back on after about 15 minutes.

  • mooresaoz brian moore (@mooresaoz) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Thanks. It doesn't make sense to have to need to call someone to cancel a subscription. What can't live chat help, rather than calling 13 number.

  • AndrewNathan05 Andrew Nathan (@AndrewNathan05) reported

    @deformo96 @NRLKnights +1000. I bought the international NRL pass from Foxtel. Will happily cancel and never watch again. Will also be canceling my @NRLKnights membership

  • FHoulahan Fran Houlahan (@FHoulahan) reported

    What rubbish @Foxtel are. Only had them to watch racing, looking at 2-7 days for a new set top box. So 2 weeks with no service after nearly a week of asking to sort it out. Won’t miss the bill! Goodbye Foxtel!

  • simonjourno Simon Anderson (@simonjourno) reported

    @kayosports_help So just an update, this still hasn’t worked. Intermittent buffering still during live broadcasts. And it is literally the only app it happens on, no issues with Foxtel which is also streaming live.
