    @lauren_vasiliou Have dealt with them a lot, one thing that’s scary is they have no fear, not of police, not scared of consequences. Because the worst they get is Aussie jail for a bit, and that’s 3 hot meals a day, gym and Foxtel.

    @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.

    @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 🙏

    @BillWiIdin I was on the phone to a foxtel employee who put me on hold 3 times to go and check her son who had broken her leg. At least she was honest about it but yeah a 15min phone call ended up taking 45mins. Not productive at all.

    @1116sen Because Ch7 "Allegedly" have the footy rights but have 4 less games than Foxtel. No footy on Sat's poor elderly that AFL don't get any Sat footy anymore G but what would you blokes care. Broadcaters fault. And camera work is pathetic. Game is in chaos. Poor Laura took the hit.

    @adriansal80 @SC___Scout You got a foxtel box or the streaming version of foxtel? Cause I can’t handle Kayo. The streams are awful. It’s delayed and the app is beyond pathetic.

    @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

    thank goodness for @Foxtel and online services, because watching a local commercial TV “news” service (@9NewsAdel) that carries a football story as lead in the middle of a fuel crisis, is just not an option any more

    @FIAWEC @beINSPORTSASIA thatd be right Foxtel ditched its BEIN sports channel partnership a few years back now i gotta shell out for them on top of everything life sucks being a poor schmuck on DSP😕

    @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

    @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?

    @rohan_connolly @colonelhogans Don’t worry too much. Enduring the cats swans on Foxtel was painful. If it wasn’t Dwayne the pain talking ****, it was camera work which failed miserably. Absolute rubbish. Switch over to the pies game and you’ve gotta listen to back door Lyon and Howie. And the umpiring…pfft

    @2_Blue_Baggers @SC___Scout I've had Foxtel since day one, in fact I remember getting galaxy when it first came to Australia. Have never used Kayo and would never use Kayo.

    @Foxtel I sent an email to Foxtel and tried to make a follow up phone call. But the live chat cut out. My wife passed away on Friday and I have no interest in television so I want to cancel my account.

    @Quartermain10 "Technical difficulties" don't cover the continuous stuff ups where we watching replays instead of live centre bounce contests. Very poor direction from Foxtel, should be 100% better for the subscription cost!

    @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.

    Greg Swann should come out in this AFL360 interview and say the biggest issue of the week wasnt the umpiring. It was the coverage of Anzac Day with no crowd noise from Foxtel. #AFL #AFL360

    Wayne Pasterfield (@wpasterfield) reported

    Can either @Foxtel or @SkyRacingAU fix the program banner and program guide for channel 528 so it reflects what is on and when please. Hard watching replays when you don’t know when they’re on.

    @taximalsVT Foxtel was ****, and when Telstra first Introduced the High speed net, It really was Super fast high speed net for the first few months.. We got heaps. But they realised this, and all ISP's have been throttling the **** out of it every since.

    @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.

    @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.
