    @Aussie_Kopite Nah I refuse to follow the garbage that these pricks put out until they bring in full promotion and relegation. Until then I’ll follow my local club and continue with Optus Sport and Foxtel.

  • MMF006 Matt F (@MMF006) reported

    It’s not just Foxtel, my Kuwaiti feed has gone down too.

  • Spartengerm Spartengerm (@Spartengerm) reported

    @Foxtel Tell ya what, I’ll have foxtel if #Murdoch eats a **** sandwich from every person his rags have destroyed but only if he sucks the monthly payments out of my *******. Deal?

  • GreenGold4me Emme (@GreenGold4me) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Hang on, may have worked

  • AdamShearman Adam Shearman (@AdamShearman) reported

    @Foxtel your service is rubbish. U ring and your voice service sends you to the wrong location. U ring via Telstra and you get left hanging on hold for over 30 mins. U go through live chat and they refuse to help and disconnect the chat despite the fact that you are still talking

    We should never forget what @Foxtel & @FOXFOOTBALL did to put the FFA Cup on the map!

  • DavidHa30584721 David Harrison (@DavidHa30584721) reported

    @MrKRudd Australia's media is turning it's back on the idea that facts matter. Haven't watched 7, 9, or 10 "news" for a while now, refuse to have Foxtel in my house and am worried the ABC has been compromised. The deafening silence on major issues should worry us all.

  • scrumblebum1 Mark (@scrumblebum1) reported

    @Telstra I have Foxtel through Bigpond ihave NBN through Telstra so all on one account and I cannot get Foxtel ad it keeps saying playback error internet connectivity issues. Ihave other pay tv such as Netflix's and Stan and have no issues. Very frustrating

  • sammiedude88 Sam Sammoi Gordon (@sammiedude88) reported

    @Telstra hi team, when you have Foxtel from Telstra, how am I able to get login info to use watch.foxtel?

  • david_heath David Heath (@david_heath) reported

    @MaryaEJones @emma__jayne14 @Bababooie42 Like all shows that promise so much, but ultimately fail to deliver satisfaction, it's probably on FoxTel.

  • anna_ballerina0 ♥️ (@anna_ballerina0) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help I've tried restarting too etc but the channels never work anymore 🙄

  • JasonFairleigh Jason Fairleigh (@JasonFairleigh) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Damn! Is there another way I can watch it?

    @Foxtel when I cancel my subscription it means I want to end our relationship. End = finish. It doesn’t mean I want your ppl to call me after I have cancelled and ask me to sign up again. Pls don’t do this. It generates negative ‘word of mouth’ that damages your brand. Over &out.

  • AdamShearman Adam Shearman (@AdamShearman) reported

    @Foxtel you ask for someone to call you, you get told that they can’t. No wonder people are leaving your service in large numbers.

  • brycy09 @brycy09 (@brycy09) reported

    Help please anyone!!. Can a @kayosports only subscriber order #HuniGallen ?? Keen to watch it but don’t have @Foxtel

  • KirstinLewis25 Kirstin Lewis (@KirstinLewis25) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help hey I got an email yesterday saying it's time to get your free Foxtel now box says thanks for being a great customer, redeem now button. Any idea if it's real ? Or scam ?

  • tomf72 ~Pfizer 2x!~ELITE 3% Even Stevens👈🏻🤷‍♂️👉🏻 (@tomf72) reported

    Any company that uses animated animals in their advertising gets blocked. If you can't get a person to explain to me the benefits of using your product/service, then I obviously don't need it. I am not an animal, I am a free man. @foxtel @comparethemkt @hbfhealth
