Michael Wilde (@michael_wilde1) reported@myco54896926 @Blazebit9 @RealEmirHan Unfortunately Foxtel (Murdoch's) had the exclusive rights in my country at the time and it looked **** and you couldn't even buy it from someone like Apple until a year later and it was only in HD. I had to buy the last season on an Ultra HD Bluray. Then i could appreciated it

RationalMan74 (@RationalMan74) reported@onepercentas Why does it even exist? Why do Foxtel not simply offer a sports only package? Why does it seem to run off different tech to the Foxtel app which has zero issues?
-
sssopᴉɐɹq (@Braidoss53) reported@Croccers @nikkivioletgwen @F1Media No, my problem is how expensive it is to access the one single sport I actually care about watching live, when there are better streaming options in other countries, my problem is Kayo/Foxtel having the exclusive rights then continually ripping us off with overpriced streaming
-
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.

Christine McDonald (@Clubby_R8) reported from Gold Coast, Queensland@Foxtel Sounds like a great offer. Shame that you are charging your long time customers $156 after you have just increased our service. How about giving your long time customers a discount instead of increasing the price 😡😡
-
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!
-
El Gordo Ciclista (@elgordociclista) reported@inthebarberry @CattardSlim It’s owned by Fox, so why is anyone to expect? Ironically, Foxtel (basically the country’s biggest cable network and owned by Murdoch) has Sky News and CNN on consecutive channels. Go figure.

-
Mel (@its_me_mel_xx) reportedI'm almost done with @Telstra. Two months in a row I've had bill problems with Foxtel by Telstra. I tried to cancel it a couple weeks ago but they gave me a good discount. Get new bill today, discount applied BUT the price of it went up, wiping out the discount. 🤬🤬

Mr Boxing (@boxing1616) reported@EverythingBoxi2 @BOXINGnBBQ Advised by Spencer brown and mick Francis. Sold down the river for a few quid. Poor Jai. Just needed to take the usyk route. Get on foxtel. Fight, CBS, Havk and maybe Yarde. He’s a star. He’s taken the short route and sold out

EarlswoodXRPMAXI (@eviethedog65) reported@Michael94858047 Holy ****. I canned Foxtel and just subscribed to what i want. Far cheaper. I have Kayo for the AFL.
-
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?

DKS (@DKS79311487) reported@FOXTEL_Help On Foxtel Go, the China 2026 Sprint Quali and Free Practice are not there. PMG01677728 is labeled Sprint Quali but is actually the Sprint Race. Please fix it.

InnerQuasar35 (@Pom_Bazooka) reported@intothecrevasse I never watched it but saw the ads regularly back when I had TheComedyChannel as part of my Foxtel package.

Mister Quimper 🇾🇪🇮🇷🇳🇬🇻🇪🇸🇴🇸🇾🇮🇶 (@SongOfSickness) reported@tresantes Not to mention it wasn't even 1080p and had some kind of anti-piracy black strip running up one side. It led to a great article in one of the papers: "Australia doesn't have a piracy problem. Australia has a Foxtel problem".
