    @LloydGSR I’d pay the extra for the same standard of broadcasting last year on Foxtel and leave the dumbed down version on FTA

    @TelstraEnt What crap,how bout delivering the basics you sell?After 65+ years as Telstra customers my parents were forced to leave you & go to Optus after a debacle of an NBN setup. Theyve paid $250+ a month for 20 years for internet & foxtel, 1/2

  • DarrenKilminst1 Darren from Newy ☔⛱ (@DarrenKilminst1) reported

    @breeannamclovin I ditched Foxtel a year ago and got Kayo. I have not had a problem at all. I run it through Telstra TV though so not sure if that makes a difference.

  • NewcombePete Pete Newcombe (@NewcombePete) reported

    Easily the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced with @Foxtel so the easy option is to cancel! Absolute disgrace they are

  • thatbro83 thatbro (@thatbro83) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Thanks Mac - Live 4K sporting content is non existent which is such a shame, especially with having IQ4. Some of those cameras used at Bathurst this weekend are poor - HD is blurry.

  • TheTwilightZon9 📺The Twilight Zone Classic Series (1959-1964) (@TheTwilightZon9) reported

    @53pamela_h Agree! Make it a USER PAY SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE like FOXTEL, AUSTAR & OPTUS SATELLITE SERVICES!

    @sazan80 @ShaunLeaneMP There is everyone cancel Foxtel

  • SaintCam Cam St.Clair (@SaintCam) reported

    The ad replacement service on Kayo is clunky as heck. Seeing a lot of clipped content, tiny sections of commercials that looked bound for Foxtel.

  • anthonyqld Anthony Webb (@anthonyqld) reported

    @eamonnwarner But you don't need to subscribe to them all. The complaint about Foxtel was that you couldn't pick and choose what you wanted. You needed to buy all or none.

  • Darren09257992 Darren (@Darren09257992) reported

    @NFFC Wish I could watch it **** Foxtel showing a crap Scottish game even though promoting this game 😡

  • kofeyh kofeyh (@kofeyh) reported

    Its a competition between @Foxtel and @Tesltra as to whom try hardest to prevent me from spending any money. Today? I cannot view my Foxtel account. Log in and page never loads, ever. Across any device. Amazing.

  • dubzz2228 dubzz2228 (@dubzz2228) reported

    Can’t watch this Parker fight unless you’ve got a Foxtel box ****!! #ParkerFa

  • kofeyh kofeyh (@kofeyh) reported

    Please wait while we repeatedly fail to access a customer database that hasn't worked for days now, huh, who knew. @FOXTEL_Help what is going on?

  • sydbusinspector Red Bull Bus Driver (@sydbusinspector) reported

    @meadea Foxtel and NewCorpse is the Worsr But not as bad as #Qantas $500million in handouts and they still layed people

  • ShaneB19 Shane B (@ShaneB19) reported

    Has anyone else had problems with FOX SPORTS 6 this weekend ?? #Foxtel #RepcoSC

  • bcurrall80 Blake Currall (@bcurrall80) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Jay & Silent Bob Reboot is on Foxtel Movies, I'm 5 mins in and I want to stab my eyeballs out. Just terrible.

  • lparsons Luke Parsons / 潘光明 (@lparsons) reported

    I hate it when a movie's digital streaming rights have been bought by the worst streaming service (@Foxtel) in Australia. Forces me to go and buy the movie because there's no way imam supporting that woefully outdated service.

  • Uber331 Eastern Suburbs (@Uber331) reported

    Hopefully you @foxtel. Will NOT produce another Golf Barons Show ! It’s the most stupid. Moronic pathetic show ever to hit the TV

  • phillipclark05 Phillip Clark (@phillipclark05) reported

    @SupercarsMaster Way better than I thought. Didn't feel dumb down, no cross promotion, right camera shots apart from a couple random replays. That said, I'll only be getting Foxtel to see all the supports and every race...

  • toddulus Pay Me in Exposure (@toddulus) reported

    @GuardianAus I saw he had problems with Sam Neill’s series on ABC via Foxtel of all things, so I binged it. I can’t see what his problem was. I now conclude he is simply a caricature of outrage without context.

  • pluginmatty pluginmatty (@pluginmatty) reported

    @VinceRugari @DanielCherny Fans used to pay $100 a month on a two year lock-in contract with Foxtel, where they're expected to supplement the costs of running Sky News, Nickelodeon, and Foxtel's ever-increasing slate of local dramas that nobody watches. But somehow an extra streaming service cost is bad?

  • EdanCockerell eeds (@EdanCockerell) reported

    @NBN_Australia You're good thanks @NBN_Australia. We were just discussing @Foxtel's annoying delay in escalating my service issues to your technicians.
