    @xskinn Save your sanity. Screw Rupert Murdoch. Cancel anything through Foxtel, especially the fictional program “Sky News”. If you want something more factual than Sky News, I recommend Nieghbours, Home & Away, Days of our Lives, & importantly, Bluey. #SaveOurABC #FuckBillionaires

    @H_the_Strange @FOXTEL_Help And if you ring up you get someone from overseas who has no idea, offers you nothing and you get nowhere. If only there was another pay service to give them competition.

    @thebigjohnnyd @MercJestr I had recorded something on my Foxtel box, came back to watch it and it wouldn't play it because they no longer had the rights to it. FFS not asking you to keep streaming it, but let me watch what's recorded. This never happened back in the olden days when I recorded to a VCR

    @Cryptozoologis7 @SCWhisperer Slater and Smith are as bad as the two you mentioned. Thank goodness for Foxtel. Channel 9 suck!

    @catgirlprostate I don't think TV in Australia is that bad but the British channel that my mum watches on Foxtel is especially bad.

    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.

    @DrG2020V @GregDavis006 From what I have seen on Foxtel, it’s pretty bad

    @onepercentas I have never watched less games, and almost nothing of the AFL tv shows than I ever have before. Will be cancelling my Foxtel and not going again this year.

    @TV_Blackbox The only losers would be DAZN (who own Foxtel and Kayo) and Nine (who own Stan) although if Nine keeps FTA rights it wouldn't be quite so bad for them.

    @Markedw For the SBS to outbid the likes of foxtel or Amazon . If a publicly funded network can outbid paid services.. maybe it should be looked at

    Worst on ground today goes to @FOXFOOTY. Very piss poor effort especially given the recent price increase by @Foxtel #afldonspies

    Is there a worse company to deal with than @ Foxtel absolutely **** service

  • ___Geo__
    Nat Geo (@___Geo__) reported

    @kayosports how do you expect people who live in remote Australia to be able to watch any live sports? These restrictions are absolutely ridiculous and anti consumer. The only way I can watch anything that Kayo has access to is by paying full price to a Foxtel service box?????

    @codenrl **** Phil gould he is a ****** . Cannot stand that we have too watch channel 9 coverage of the game , it’s so much better on Foxtel.

    @FOXNRL I signed up for Foxtel in 1992 primarily for the rugby league coverage….i hope like hell they lose the broadcast rights ! Ennis, Voss, Duke, Alexander are ****** terrible commentators

    @MikeCarlton01 I watched a few episodes of "The Mansion" (an ABYSMAL sketch comedy show he co-hosted on Foxtel) & as such have always been "triggered" by him. I thought it was me, but nah he sucks. Grace Tame is a deadset legend.

    @PollyPorridge My town didn’t have channel ten until I was like 12? Or maybe later so if you didn’t have Foxtel you never saw it, and when I visited my aunty in Adelaide it was banned so it was a double whammy

    @footyindustryAU Well if that happened I would immediately stop my foxtel service

    @Hugh_96 @balumbah I agree, as there's no accountability in RA. You can fail and fail again, and no transparency. My view is that 3 years after the RWC, when the money runs out, Foxtel will buy rugby for peanuts. Only then will it get fixed.

    @H_the_Strange @FOXTEL_Help I'm going to go through what we've got and cut it back to the basic. Maybe even get rid of it for the summer and come back as a new customer in March. They offer new customers cheap packages. But don't give that offer to existing ones. As you say, they don't care.

    Let’s be honest @7afl coverage is so much better than @FOXFOOTY this year All they need now is a couple Saturday games and i would cancel @Foxtel

    takes 3 ******* hours to watch a one hour show on hbomax with foxtel. buffers more than what you see play. on top of that the wifi drops from foxtel too. hbomax app doesnt work straight through the tv anymore. IHNFI why. i just want to watch euphuckingphoria

    @Foxtel Paying $30 a month for an inadequate Kayo app! By far the worst app streaming. Do you think you might fix your painful app so that we can actually use the forward and replay buttons without being pushed to ads or having to start from the beginning???

    Truly terrible coverage with sound dropouts at the most important moments tonight Foxtel. Not worth the $113/month we pay to simply watch the game. #AFLDonsPies

    RJHtweets (@RJHampson01) reported

    Today’s customer service cvnts winner is Telstra. 2.5 hours on the chat line to just cancel an internet Foxtel connection which they stuffed up and then gave me the Indian Call Centre shuffle. OH we undertaken your frustration bullshit. We deserve better service from Australians.

    @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.
