    @neilsherwin I feel like the people who said "thats stupid, Foxtel is here to stay" when I predicted this on 442 10 or so years ago must be having a great time right now

    @fatzgorrie @Foxtel yeah its bullshit fatz they treat loyal customers that have been with them for years like **** and only interested in new customers

  • Slugasi Honorable Odin 👁T.Gamble (@Slugasi) reported

    @fatzgorrie @Foxtel I left them 20 or less years ago because they were ****, & you guys still think they’re **** after 15/20 years putting up with them. That’s why they do nothing but Jack for you!😎

  • softzeldas egghead eowyn (@softzeldas) reported

  • bennyisles Ben Ireland (@bennyisles) reported

    @fatzgorrie @Foxtel Cancel it and there will be

  • james_r_mcgrath James McGrath (@james_r_mcgrath) reported

    @FootballFocusAU The 'revised' deal Foxtel did with a-league was about $35m from memory (down from $57m) -- but the money is a sideshow. It's about the promotional opportunities, really.

  • BFtigercast Bigfooty Tigercast (@BFtigercast) reported

    No.. dont do it.. Weather causing foxtel to **** itself.

  • sue682 sue (@sue682) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help This channel says 'FOXTEL HELP'. But no member of staff in the past 36hrs has helped. No one can explain why East crescent street lost service Monday morning. Or when it's going to be restored. Apparently there's no problem here. WHO will help us??? Patrick Delany?

  • dgogovski DG (@dgogovski) reported

    @PaulPaully69 @fatzgorrie @Foxtel Spot on... but you threaten to cancel, you'll be surprised what they can do then

  • tootsirootsie Nathan Malthouse (@tootsirootsie) reported

    @Foxtel Foxtel is a piece of ****. Worst customer service ever, a rip off and burns long time customers.

  • Shirlzy73 💫Shirley Teelah Glover (@Shirlzy73) reported

    @SpiritedTV @JingleKo Foxtel could have really cashed in on @SpiritedTV Iconic main character, unique storyline that had SO much more life in it...and they ceased production! Stupid decision. #HenryMalletForever

  • KonradMarshall Konrad Marshall (@KonradMarshall) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Watching a little Foxtel recap about the #AFLSaintsTigers game tonight, and I hear someone say “And then The King comes out and goes whack whack”, and a moment later I realise that ‘The King’ in this sentence is Richmond, and geez, I’ll never take this era for granted #GoTiges

  • sayandskotann Leah (@sayandskotann) reported

    @_ArseFace @__ChrisJames @Dean_Machine_ Every season Janet & Co have planned their "take down" of Gina & Lydia. Even chyka was in on it in her last season, she only did it bc she knew she was going to leave. It's foxtel's fault for blaming Gina for everything & making her out to be a bully.

  • MarkRoach4 Roachy (@MarkRoach4) reported

    @fatzgorrie @Foxtel What. That’s crap surely. No wonder all these other options are popping up

  • realfitzy1971 Michael Fitzgerald (@realfitzy1971) reported

    @fatzgorrie @Foxtel Cancel and they will have a deal

  • westsport Lance Jenkinson (@westsport) reported

    @rpjward @JustinCondo @ESPNAusNZ The issue isn't the ice hockey. It's ESPN holding a stack of sports rights and not having enough Australian channels. It's a pity their college channels aren't available through Foxtel.

  • ugly__gf heart (@ugly__gf) reported

    wwe should put raw & sd on the ******* network weekly so i can watch it on time for once, paying $100+ for foxtel in aus is a joke

  • ah22ch 𝓐𝓷𝓰𝓲𝓮 𝓕𝓵𝓪𝓷𝓪𝓰𝓪𝓷 (@ah22ch) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @FOXTEL_Help Nope. No VPN. Never had issue and I went to get tickets for something and it’s got this error. I’ve cleared the cache

  • jeffhill55 Jeff Hill (@jeffhill55) reported

    @freodockers No issue here, good ol foxtel works fine 👍

  • LacombeMichelle Michelle Lacombe (@LacombeMichelle) reported

    @mehdirhasan @QueenbeeAxs It’s his shtick. He’s obviously getting attention for his bullshit. I’ve cancelled my FOXTEL subscription. I refuse to keep paying this *******.

  • EwokHunter1 Ewok Hunter (@EwokHunter1) reported

    @DeanRosario I think the big problem for FTA treatment of the AL is that it's been non-habit forming for fans. On average your team is on FTA once every 6 weeks. That's no way to keep hold of new or part-time fans. Full time, existing fans will stick with Foxtel, or it's replacement

  • MartinMckowen Marty McKowen 🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪 (@MartinMckowen) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Given that the service was out for a period of time does this mean that our invoices will reflect this? Maybe one month without charge given the inconvenience?

  • Dangerouslytal Dangerously Talented (@Dangerouslytal) reported

    @Foxtel **** off, Rupert.

  • RobinBancs Robin Bancs ✪ (@RobinBancs) reported

    @TheRealALM Free advice for anyone that is going to cancel Foxtel on this news. Be prewarned that it’s an ordeal and a hell of a process and they’ll harass you. Plan it in advance so you can exit at the end of your billing cycle.

  • mishasan7 Michelle Sargent (@mishasan7) reported

    @pinstripe1234 @Foxtel ONLY reason we were with them for so long is because of the rugby. SO happy they jumped ship to Stan, an infinitely better service, more Aussie content with actual CHOICE, plus we’re not lining Rupert’s overstuffed pockets anymore. #MurdochRoyalCommission #murdochfreeaustralia

  • SteveMolk The Guidefather 👍🇦🇺📺 (@SteveMolk) reported

    @Dangerman_2 I believe they are. Can’t replace CNN easily though. That’s a part of Foxtel’s new news streaming service.

  • BobBrace2 Bob Brace (@BobBrace2) reported

    @nyccookies #MurdochFreeWorld Cancel Foxtel and everything Murdoch

  • dgogovski DG (@dgogovski) reported

    @fatzgorrie @Foxtel Threaten to cancel there'll be a deal straight away
