  • Coldogs Coldogs. (@Coldogs) reported

    @FootyRed1 @prestontowers We gave up Foxtel this year just found it a waste for what we were getting , I get AFL app free as I’m a telstra customer..

  • GunLemming Cameron Benest (@GunLemming) reported

    @TexanMeg @Foxtel Great choice! I've never understood Foxtel, why does the most expensive TV service have ads?

  • skypokey Leesa Dixon (@skypokey) reported

    @Foxtel Can you guys tell me why I can't update my debit card on the app, when its a monthly struggle to pay the foxtel bill purely because nothing works properly its maybe time to just cancel it. Especially when netflix, stan and binge work better and are cheaper.

  • housewivestan 💖housewives💖 (@housewivestan) reported

    @hayu_au Thanks for replying. Foxtel sucks I bet they did this bc they’re salty that they didn’t get rights to #rhoslc and hayu did. UGH.

  • johblo3 Lone Ranger (@johblo3) reported

    @Foxtel Neither, Foxtel is too expensive for the **** on offer

  • atr3367 Adrian P (@atr3367) reported

    @adamcurkpatrick @Telstra @Optus I’ve had internet, fetch TV and mobile with them for a year and honestly not had a problem. Wifi amazing, fetch TV better than Foxtel (only downer no sky racing) and when I was out of work they knocked a heap off my bills for 3 months 👌

  • perthovalman paul gallagher (@perthovalman) reported

    @wests_glory @FOXFOOTBALL Does my head in. Foxtel only care about ratings. They don’t care that owners are losing money. That fans can’t go and enjoy games in comfort or even go at all. Why the hell @ALeague chose to except Foxtel’s scraps is another reason why the game continues to fail in this county

  • shitfor Jim-o-Saurus Rex (@shitfor) reported

    @Foxtel Neither. We got rid of Foxtel cause it’s ****.

  • chalkwhitehands Prune McSwollen (@chalkwhitehands) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @Foxtel For a Streaming Service you have to really poor taste in movies.

  • TexanMeg Meg Coffey (@TexanMeg) reported

    Last month I asked @Foxtel customer service to wave moving address fees to say thanks for 11+ years of loyalty. They said no, so I canceled out of spite. I haven’t missed it at all and have an extra $100 in my pocket each month. Total win! I’ll kill for my Netflix & Stan tho.

  • Tambelou Tam (@Tambelou) reported

    @TonyKoc69285191 @JaneCaro 100% this - my parents don’t have Foxtel but now get sky news and believe all the bull **** they hear on it

  • MainlineRob Robert Cooke (@MainlineRob) reported

    @jenbechwati @7NewsAdelaide @ScottMorrisonMP What Miracles are they Australian Children locked up for Christmas. Pensioners that are so poor they can't afford to eat. Or the best Miracle you gave 10 million to Foxtel. Sport rorts ETC ETC excellent Miracles

  • lincolncrew Lincolncrew (@lincolncrew) reported

    @Foxtel F you Foxtel!!! Murdoch will never get a cent from me,,, My Family,,, Or my friends,,, EVER AGAIN!!!

  • SarahSarahVera Sarah Vera (@SarahSarahVera) reported

    @JodieGunders The bad news is that it’s on Binge (Foxtel’s streaming service)... the good news is you get 14 days free & can then cancel. Is not amazing, but I stuck with it whereas I gave up on The Queens Gambit as I felt it ran out of steam

  • dsxire Dsxire (@dsxire) reported

    @Foxtel Foxtel has been ripping people off for years... they only make it cheaper for you when you decide to cancel your subscription...

  • Dag70729966 Innocent Bystander (@Dag70729966) reported

    @Foxtel They are both pretty awful

  • hudafark dunno (@hudafark) reported

    @Foxtel Bad Santa. Family tradition

  • lucydufty Lucy Dufty (@lucydufty) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help I’m always getting messages to resolve clashes. The clashes are not even shows I’ve recorded, meaning I didn’t record the shows. Please help

  • ShurojitShome Shurojit Shome (@ShurojitShome) reported

    @Foxtel I had broadband booked to be installed on the 8/12/2020 between 1pm to 5pm. The tech did not show up. They booked broadband installation for 22/12/20. I again took the day off work and lost wages. The tech DID NOT SHOW UP AGAIN! I have had enough. TERRIBLE SERVICE!

  • romina2109 Romina Aquinchay (@romina2109) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Thanks for your lack of help regarding Foxtel Go (I sent pics) and why my Foxtel on Demand no longer works. Much appreciated

  • VB00Renegade Vince Black (@VB00Renegade) reported

    @NeilEvansmail @Foxtel Remember seeing this case on Unsolved Mysteries at the time. Never thought it would be solved

  • kenobi_swim KenobiWan | BLM (@kenobi_swim) reported

    @Foxtel Anyone out here not picking the Polar Express has no taste or has never felt the magic of Christmas.

  • Zaum73 Corrie (@Zaum73) reported

    @skypokey @Foxtel Dump Foxtel. Or ring them to cancel, they may upgrade you free of charge for a few months or so & at the same time update your billing info. Whatever the outcome it’s a win win.

  • perthovalman paul gallagher (@perthovalman) reported

    @SMEMUFC @PerthGloryFC @Foxtel NSL. Had its problems but least it felt like football. Teams had there own unique grounds. Football was better. More skilful and entertaining. Kick off times were better. Clubs had more say. A-league is going down the crapper fast. Muppets in charge.

  • Peter90666913 Peter (@Peter90666913) reported

    @Foxtel thanks for screwing my Xmas by not sorting out my internet connection issues died last night and the silence re fixing the issue is deafening - perhaps if your call centre was in Australia and you paid overtime to your techie team we may get customer service #auspol

  • cybertext Rhonda Bracey (@cybertext) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help No VPN at all. Tried logging in and submitting complaint form about complaint form not working., Minimal characters. That didn't work either, though got a different message: "That doesn't look right". Can't DM you.

  • AenesidemusOZ ÆnesidemusOZ ⇝Anti-Fascist⇜ (@AenesidemusOZ) reported

    @MadamEarth @Foxtel Trouble is we now subscribe to Netflix, Stan, Prime (Amazon), and (soon) Disney Plus. It costs almost as much - but no sport, thank goodness. Murdoch still gets money from Disney unfortunately.

  • AceF1910 Jaymz 🤘 (@AceF1910) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Yeah never miss it when its on.

  • Fifi_Ivy_A Phoenix A (@Fifi_Ivy_A) reported

    @PiesNation And Thursday matches are the worst, can't go too late to go to work next day and some of us play sport and train on Thursday. Floating fixture screwed us over this year, we had the shortest breaks and most travel, they should ease up for a change. Think I might get Foxtel instead

  • MrHoffalicious Nobody Important (@MrHoffalicious) reported

    @banny13428529 @Foxtel So you never watched it. Fair enough
