-
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!
-
Eilegend (@lipsarinna) reported@utahsocialite @Foxtel Exactly its even worse MatchBox the production company has been dissolved by NBC 😔 even after Lydia confirmed to me RHUGT down under was going to film
-
mark hooper (@abandon8) reported@gothedees36 @cmkusher @kayosports Hasn’t Foxtel shutdown the cable service, ie only new internet connections?
-
Sam (@yma6rocks) reportedOk so there’s a @foxtel outage! And thy can’t even tell their customers about it!! Getting an error message on my screen thinking my account has been suspended or some **** Can’t even watch the footy…
-
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?
-
LRS (@semplificato) reported@DStyleBoxing MR would of resigned Opetaia, especially with Foxtel deal in play, poor timing, Jai on Foxtel would of been perfect for both. Mick Francis months ago said MR did not deliver unification, they were moving on, see if someone could deliver, Francis kept on mentioning Turki promises
-
jason quealey (@jq1970) reported@nrlphysio @kayosports This is why I kept the @Foxtel box and avoid the poor service you get with streaming
-
𝕵.𝕭𝖆𝖐𝖊𝖗 (@PremiumPies) reported@Michael94858047 Foxtel laughing at anyone willing to pay that for their service
-
ARTCvan 🍉 (@ARTCvan) reported@SulloReport also kayo as a service is no longer worth $40/mth or whatever it is now 😭 terrible reliability, with no support for F1 TV features unless you pay Murdoch even more money through Foxtel, and graphical issues half the time...
-
Keith Ian Anderson (@KeithAn15068821) reported@1116sen @SENBreakfast The issue was that foxtel lost the sync to the clock. The clock was still running on Channel 7 and so was still running for the timekeepers
-
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
-
My opinon doesn’t have to be yours! (@dumbchump24) reported@NRL tell foxtel to turn up commentator mic and down crowd one plz
-
Lloyd Duff (@Mike09127415) reported@LolCowBasement @LolCowBasement You could say Techy I used a piece of myself to make you the ultimate cable box. Yes it picks up FOXTEL. It aims for anything but anything FOX or CBS NETWORK related is a given. You worked for CBS over the Castle hill slide so you left a vocal fingerprint
-
kayla fan of ³³ (@ActingLikeThtKk) reported@gaIaxygang Foxtel go is my ***** she rarely lets me down when i can’t access my set top box 😌
-
Haydan James (@Haydan_James) reported@sashaneedssleep Same on regular foxtel. Might be a SkyF1 issue.
-
Warthog (@edwarner57) reported@DanielGarb So not the week to cancel my Foxtel account
-
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.
-
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".
-
great k (@greatk485022) reportedWtf is up with the audio on foxtel NRL , sounds like fkn transformers
-
🇺🇦Hans Orph🇺🇦 (@HansOrph) reported@Hugh_96 @7plus @Foxtel The Foxtel thing has been dead in my house since Stan took over the Rugby, I've never missed it or looked back

Dariyen Jones (@DetroitLemons99) reported@FootyonNine So maybe Foxtel is correct and kayo and the like is a world leading service but the actual failure is our own countries ability to provide an internet service that has the ability to allow the public to best use 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?
-
Where's the ***? (@ogsubtlemenace) reported@onepercentas There was a period around December 2025, where I couldn't access my account whilst I was in Far North QLD due to licencing issues. I was being redirected to a Foxtel subscription. Which considering Kayo is now $46/month, would possibly have been better value.
-
harleyw (@harleywattsconn) reported@CosmicRichy @AlboMP BigPond Broadband & Landlines, Google, Adobe, MSN, Hotmail, iTunes and FOXTEL is the worst
-
Bianca (@Bianca051985) reported@Michael94858047 Streaming services are ******* ridiculous. Prime is not the same as foxtel obviously but all the payments and then still gotta purchase **** it's ******* bullshit
-
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.
-
NotoriousCYP (@NotoriousCYP) reportedSo what channel am I supposed to watch New Zealand vs South Africa on? Wtf am I paying for? @FoxCricket @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help #cricketlikeneverbefore
-
not amy (@utahsocialite) reported@HEdwardfan @luannsmugshoot @Foxtel It really wasn’t that bad just in comparison to the other seasons it fell short but I still think they deserved a 6th and I’d be more inclined to believe it’ll come if they hadn’t teased it for the past 3 years 💀
-
Tim Guille (@timbguille) reportedLOL Ring the @Foxtel help line to cancel my subscription and told that the line is currently experiencing a high volume of calls Everyone on the way out of Foxtel these days?
