  • Cricketer9994 Phil Rowan (@Cricketer9994) reported

    @FoxCricket @Foxtel @kayosports Why? Tonight’s ball was dropping well below the previous incident

  • mishyloan Michelle (@mishyloan) reported

    @friendlyjordies My Dad STILL has Foxtel.. but he refuses to watch Sky. Says that they're all batshit crazy, they talk drivel and can only offer a giant **** you to Australians....

  • RenInOz Renee Pope-Munro (@RenInOz) reported

    @flippy_me @maddyoby Not if you can access ESPN player somehow (that’s what I use Slong and VPN for, but friends use a Foxtel login), but if it’s just a school produced stream, a lot of them it’s easier to watch live. I use Pac 12 YouTube channel heaps though, basically whenever somethings on there.

  • gothedees36 clint (@gothedees36) reported

    @FOXFOOTY @kayosports Why wouldn't you just put it on foxtel as well. Seems pretty stupid

  • Klb0415 Lou🦘 (@Klb0415) reported

    @Joeyjessie65 That is what I am trying to tell them. Tomorrow I will go to the Foxtel store here in Bris instead of trying to talk to someone overseas. This is the first time I have had a complaint about them as they are usually very helpful.

  • Billablog Bill (@Billablog) reported

    I'm still with Neil. That was his line in the sand and he stuck with it. Fair enough. But expecting ideological or ethical purity from any network is fraught. You may have Foxtel just for the sport but you're still subsidising Sky News.

  • jjballin30 jjballin30 (@jjballin30) reported

    @Foxtel please fix your programming guide, turn off the hockey post match and put on duke v unc asap. This is ridiculous

  • shittydan Dean Curling (@shittydan) reported

    @Chrisquirk @ParamountPlusAU Then on top of that the technical side of the coverage, poor quality, lack of SmartTV app etc is just amateurish. Whatever they paid for this partnership, i'd seriously be asking for a refund. Foxtel even when trying their best to run it into the ground, were doing a better job.

  • Gary_AE Gary Austin-Eames (@Gary_AE) reported

    @Foxtel I spent 2 hours yesterday speaking to 6 people and a dog with your customer service and technical support. Simple question, can I get an iq3 upgrade for cable?

  • Gary_AE Gary Austin-Eames (@Gary_AE) reported

    @Foxtel Finally ordered an IQ5, also found out my IQ2 needs to be upgraded next month, never received the notice about that. According to your customer service, loss of signal from cloud cover can be fix by sending a technician. No wonder I get frustrated.

  • ThisTweeps ResearchThisTweeps (@ThisTweeps) reported

    @SkyNewsAust Um, hate to break it to you, but tens of thousands of us no longer trust the media whatsoever and that trust is NEVER coming back. I haven’t turned on a tv or radio in 12 months. I cancelled Foxtel and my newspaper subscriptions. I’m done.

  • littlejohnny35 Peter Allen (@littlejohnny35) reported

    Golf commentary is at an all time low. Players do pull/push putts, not every miss is a poor read and not every player is a “great guy” Mix that with back to back @maccas commercials (3-4 per ad break) and @Foxtel have made the @PGAofAustralia #unwatchable #paypeanutsgetmonkeys

  • noreasonspec The Windjamming Chocobo💉💉🚀 (@noreasonspec) reported

    @RichardDeCrep Not bad. I wonder if like Foxtel satellite it stops working in heavy rain though

  • BSadlerRacing Brooke Sadler (@BSadlerRacing) reported

    @SharonRalph7 Pity it wasn’t made available through foxtel. We saw none of it due to no free to air tv and poor internet that constantly buffers.

  • Jacquel62102654 Jacqueline (@Jacquel62102654) reported

    @Foxtel Certainly don’t get good Olympic coverage in Australia. It sucks….

  • Dreamingfood16 Covid is a virus... (@Dreamingfood16) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help want to suspend my account… obviously this can be done online but I can’t seem to find it?? I can see how to add packages but not cancel or suspend? #foxtel #Suspension #cancel

  • ROCKET56273610 ROCKET ROD (@ROCKET56273610) reported

    @FredrickCrews Same no internet connection at home so my TV through my foxtel service so I only get the foxtel Chanels with the 7 free to air Chanel through the service abc sbs 7 9 10 7mate 10peach so I missed the coverage just flicked to 526 on jump time as soon as Hunter over straight to dogs

  • nickschadegg Nick Schadegg (@nickschadegg) reported

    @mathaiaus apparently they’ve listed tiny owner operator businesses like newsstand kiosks but forgot to list obvious **** like foxtel

  • Dreamingfood16 Covid is a virus... (@Dreamingfood16) reported

    Why can’t we #cancel or #suspend @Foxtel #foxtel online?? We can upgrade no problem… but to suspend or cancel we’re expected to make contact M-F?? Are we doing something wrong?

  • DeanRosario Dean Rosario (@DeanRosario) reported

    @MicallefPhilip @ParamountPlusAU @10FootballAU Agree there are a lot of issues. But, it's the only way I can watch ALeague/ACL. I put up with far worse with Foxtel streaming during the early yrs, in order to watch ALeague/ACL. And, that cost nearly as much per month as Paramount+ costs me per year!

  • auntyK007 Miss Otis Regrets 🤦🏻‍♀️ (@auntyK007) reported

    Weirdly I can watch free to air channels through foxtel but not cable channels. WTF? No outages in my area btw. Sigh.

  • dopelrh nate ‎ (@dopelrh) reported

    @capfiIms damn i dont have foxtel </3

  • Joeyjessie65 Jo Patton (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☕️🐈‍⬛🇦🇺) (@Joeyjessie65) reported

    @Klb0415 That’s terrible. Foxtel is too expensive for me. Never had it. I have Amazon prime which now has the Starz channel which I need to subscribe to. But it looks like Outlander S6 won’t be on Starz channel which is very weird. Why would they not air their own show on their channel?

  • Gary_AE Gary Austin-Eames (@Gary_AE) reported

    @Foxtel has great service. On the phone to them today, got transferred to technical support and all I could hear was a barking dog. Rang back and ended up with conflicting information how to upgrade.

  • 2YEARMANDATE TruthIsFreedom (@2YEARMANDATE) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Foxtel your customer service is atrocious. I made 3 different phone calls and everyone of them had me on hold for a very long time then hung up on me. Its beyond a joke how rude your call centre staff is.

  • Klb0415 Lou🦘 (@Klb0415) reported

    @Joeyjessie65 It does seem very strange. People were complaining that Starz got it that they would now have to pay extra to see it on their service. I love Foxtel documentaries, so am reluctant to leave, but right now I am just furious that they expect me to pay for a fault in their equipment

  • auntyK007 Miss Otis Regrets 🤦🏻‍♀️ (@auntyK007) reported

    Foxtel down. Bored with netflix. Signed up to stan. WTF? It’s all old **** I’ve seen or not wanted to see. Why ?????

  • DanieTreg Danie Tregonning (@DanieTreg) reported

    @H_the_Cats_Fan Yeah, we currently have 10 straight into TV and it’s worse. Foxtel box does help a little

  • feather1952 Heather E. Ratty - No DMs🇬🇧🇳🇿🇦🇺🐨🦘✳️✳️ (@feather1952) reported

    @PeterCronau @slpng_giants_oz I don’t have Netflix, Foxtel, Amazon Prime, Paramount+. I’m on the aged pension & my Internet is portable WiFi & it’s **** for any of the above, but I can’t afford anything else. I can watch the ABC though!

  • kayescottboxer Kayescott (@kayescottboxer) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Can anyone in oz tell me how I can watch @Claressashields fight over here? (Eubank vs Williams show). I don’t have Foxtel!! Happy to pay but can’t find streaming service for Australia!! #boxing #ShieldsKozin #EubankJrWilliams
