smoops (@breenybreeny7) reported@Foxtel what the f*ck have you done to binge. Where is my coronation street, and why do I have no bloomin idea what episode I'm up to. Ruined this. Corries the only reason I have your feckin service. Canceled
-
Mustard (@Curiosooo123) reported@cmkusher @NRL @kayosports Foxtel has some good deals now, I am going to flick it and go with them, the recent updated app brought in a whole new realm of issues for me. Enough is enough.
-
Brett Cox (@b_dog_78) reported@NicNegrepontis Foxtel is borderline unwatchable. Signal dropping in and out. There is no rain and not a breath of wind outside, so the “poor weather” excuse is not valid. Just a poor service all round.
-
John (@jt_melb) reportedHow the actual does Foxtel/Binge take The Daily Show away from Paramount+? **** this ****, no wonder torrents are making a major comeback
-
Tom Baker (@Duckimusprime) reported@Sam957063743921 @jamesxclean @jarrodwalsh That would've meant a lot, not Foxtel deciding to broadcast his emotional reaction. If you want to see how bad a call that is watch the Crows post of the moment, where they cut Jordan out.

Craig davos (@davos_craig) reportedWhats everyones issue with kayo ? My foxtel doesn't miss a beat 👍#AFLpowerdons
-
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".
-
ralph horowitz (@rtralphy) reportedConfident prediction The price of Foxtel and Kayo will spike considerably, and it will be justified based on the government gambling ads crackdown Quinella: Never waste a crisis into law of unintended consequences GR 👍
-
Cas (@Cas26Harper) reported@lorahmoe Foxtel was originally sold to us as ad free tv more than 20 years ago. A few yrs later we’d sit down to watch something, Didn’t matter what channel. You’d watch a few minutes then there were 10 mins of ads..we were paying $100 a Month for that!?? Absolute rubbish.
-
ash 🦕 (@lovronolastname) reported@tresantes omg this reminds me of how for like 2 years my dad would pay for foxtel specifically when game of thrones was airing and then cancel it until eventually he gave up and started pirating it 😭
-
Glenny (@TheGlenny1) reportedGot 500 channels on foxtel. Only channel not working sky 1 Wtf is going on @SkyRacingAU ******* retarded Black screen for last 2 hrs
-
Phillip Smith (@csnphl) reported@FOXNRL turn up the commentry in Wests v Parra We cant hear them over crowd noise Foxtel treating customers like **** again
-
JAMpresident (@JAMpresident) reported@HostShinyoku @LesniakAndrew42 @kazakura_22 Game of Thrones is a great example. When it was on air, Australia was a massive pirate of the show. People were downloading torrents. Why? Because the only way to watch was with a ******* Foxtel subscription (cable TV contract). Everyone said **** that.
-
PVO (@vanOnselenP) reportedI watch almost zero free-to-air tv these days, but had to watch 9 NRL tonight bc my Foxtel was down. It’s almost unwatchable compared to Foxtel. The call was good enough, but the commentary was mind numbing. Despite the pedigree of those doing it. Surprisingly bad!
-
Greg1956 (@Greg19562) reported@Ryandally08 I want sky news detached from foxtel dog ****!
-
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
-
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.
-
Bryan S (@BryanS81) reported@Foxtel fix ur sound on the footy!!!
-
David Whitehead (@Whitehead13D) reported@kayosports @kayosports_help Foxtel is looking really good with no service and then need to sign into my own tv. Not good enough! I pay for the service and don’t need to sign in all the time, pathetic.
-
𝓡𝓪𝓷𝓭 (@Randxme_) reported@utahsocialite @Foxtel Foxtel are **** because how tf do you cancel that masterpiece
-
Tom Baker (@Duckimusprime) reported@simmos83 @jarrodwalsh Criticising ****** behaviour from Foxtel? And you want to try and pull out club v club ****? The fans of the Hard-done-bys are a ******* weird lot.
-
John Rheinberger (@RheinbergerJohn) reported@gavin_laing Streaming rights- both live and highlights -are more important than ever. Nine would like to retain (or gain) some exclusivity for live telecasts as Foxtel regularly beats it for viewers when games are simultaneously broadcast. Its product is that bad (put it down to commentary)
-
Miles (@Michael1953_202) reported@Telstra New NBN, wanted Foxtel, bought Fetch. But Fetch can’t get Foxtel, can’t cancel, no refund no return, throw the Fetch box in the bin, or they said “they would recycle it responsibly”. Now I want some real science, an energy balance not virtue signalling .
-
FixTechStuff 🛠️ (@FixTechStuff1) reported@purplepingers The hole for the Foxtel cable was likely drilled through the channel in the roof iron so water drips down when it rains. Happened with my satellite internet, 30 mins after installers left there was a downpour and a literal torrent of water poured out the wall plate into the modem

ash 🦕 (@lovronolastname) reported@tresantes omg this reminds me of how for like 2 years my dad would pay for foxtel specifically when game of thrones was airing and then cancel it until eventually he gave up and started pirating it 😭
-
Joshua (@shiggy74) reportedWhy the hell are Foxtel waisting Jess Webster on a VFL game? She is better than the majority of commentators on any network.
-
Toby Cook (@MrTobyCook) reported@BingIsBackBaby @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help I’ll try that. It’s hard because the product website says one thing and their staff say another. But yes I’ll call next week and eventually I’ll get it sorted. But yeah, horrible experience every time I have to adjust anything. Terrible call center except for the Australian one.

Eddie (@EddieH1976) reported@charliepick @kayosports Foxtel has 4K not working and same issue with no mic
-
Luannsmugshot (@luannsmugshoot) reported@utahsocialite @Foxtel Lowkey season 5 was so bad the super strict Australian lockdowns killed the show
