  • DJLovett7 David Lovett 🏳️‍🌈♒ (@DJLovett7) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Hi. I signed up and paid for my Foxtel Now subscription yesterday but today it says that my account is deactivated. Can you please help? I have tried contacting virtual chat but no agents are available.

  • heisenbison Juan Fandango (@heisenbison) reported

    @IzaacRowatt @MMF006 I never had Foxtel cause it's too expensive, but I've got paramount cause it's cheaper, so for me the switch to them has been a positive.

  • brendando Nerd Daddy (@brendando) reported

    Cancelling my Foxtel subscription felt like putting down my dog.

  • WYF_Podcast Jamie Irwin (@WYF_Podcast) reported

    @fourfingerpod Wait, it's called Foxtel?! I've been hearing it as Foxtail! Why didn't someone tell me? I've been making an idiot out of myself!

  • RussHunter77 Russ Hunter (@RussHunter77) reported

    @MatthewBevan I used to watch a lot of cricket and AFL. Will never pay a cent to Foxtel, on principle (aside from it being a rip off)

  • Fox98Lachlan Lachlan_Fox98 💚💛🇦🇺🦘 (@Fox98Lachlan) reported

    @TheRealALM Again @drt15 is full of ****, If money is the issue why wasn’t it put out for tender? If you had quotas to hit from a **** streaming site why would you sign with it? Should’ve just stayed with Foxtel where the game had a chance to stay mainstream

  • callanjmulligan Callan J Mulligan (@callanjmulligan) reported

    @Gazrj01 Good on Foxtel! I didn't realise they were still operating live TV - I use their streaming service (Binge).

  • GaylorDaniel Daniel Gaylor (@GaylorDaniel) reported

    @el_pollo_loco @loudibella Those Sky Channel & Foxtel exclusives in the late 90’s were horrendous. No oversight re opponent quality. The same Thai journeyman would be imported for three losses in consecutive months. Unwatchable garbage.

  • gjclelo Geoff Cleland (@gjclelo) reported

    Foxtel just withdrew $290.90 from my account to re- instate a service in a house I haven’t lived in for 10 months which they were told in march when I suspended it. They say it’s my fault so no refund. That’s theft. Scam at its highest

  • gjclelo Geoff Cleland (@gjclelo) reported

    Over 25 years as a foxtel customer and today they stole $290.90 from my account for a service I don’t have. Not all scammers are from overseas. Disgusting

  • montychandra10 Monty Chandra (@montychandra10) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Hey guys. Some of us have been getting emails about getting free Foxtel packages. Some have an end date in Dec, Some in Jan 2023. But a few of us have no end date in the email. So what does this mean? We get the free packages forever? Thanks for any help.

  • real_jmcsomeone Jack McSomeone (@real_jmcsomeone) reported

    @oocukkidstv We have a similar service in Australia called Foxtel. The old remotes were actually based on the Sky Active remotes and we even used to have games on it too. Idk if we had Tetris on there

  • gjclelo Geoff Cleland (@gjclelo) reported

    Foxtel stole $291.90 out of my account activating our subscription to a house I haven’t lived in for 10 months. They say it’s my problem not there’s

  • bferris1703 💧Brett Ferris (@bferris1703) reported

    @TheKennyDevine Looks like Foxtel's numbers are crap across the board. #MurdochRoyalCommission

  • AdeleKThomas Adele K Thomas 🦄✨ (@AdeleKThomas) reported

    @mirojurcevic @cathywilcox1 I see it's on the Binge streaming service...and Foxtel.

  • Soulsy04 Soulsy (@Soulsy04) reported

    @suthodan Boxing on Foxtel is in a horrible state. We had heaps of Australian cards for a while. Was so good to watch the best of Australia and see if they had potential. Now it’s all bs ppv on ppl I’m not invested in.

  • i_borborygmi Borborygmi (@i_borborygmi) reported

    @charles_haig01 You avoid that by never signing up, lol. Foxtel is garbage, what are you doing?

  • el_pollo_loco Aussie Boxing Scribe (@el_pollo_loco) reported

    @MadeManG74 You might be right. I didn't read the article that way but on reflection it's a little ambiguously worded. I've got no problem with No Limit having an exclusive PPV deal w/Foxtel.

  • swiftliterati miranda (@swiftliterati) reported

    @lunvts OMG DID IT NOT COME OUT FOR YOU? WTF. i havent checked yet but i watch it on foxtel so i’ll see

  • gjclelo Geoff Cleland (@gjclelo) reported

    You don’t need to look overseas for scammers. They are here. Foxtel are scammers stealing $291.90 out of my account to activate my subscription to a house 3500km away from where I live but they tell me that’s my fault not there’s. Over 25 years as a customer means nothing

  • kjoconnell Kevin O'Connell (@kjoconnell) reported

    @kylieelatham @FOXTEL_Help Did you have any luck with this? I have the same issue

  • Partytime63 Jaliyan (@Partytime63) reported

    @Foxtel please advise how can you help with free to air channels if we have to move away from Cable to IQ ?

  • me_dc Karate Warrior II (@me_dc) reported

    @nuckythompson8 @ethxn26 The streaming network is a place you could access it, but now they have a channel on Foxtel. Think they might be unloading a lot of stuff onto Binge

  • suthodan @SandhuDan (@suthodan) reported

    Exclusive deals are never good for the industry. No Limit now have (reported) say on what boxing can be shown on Foxtel and main event They've effectively frozen out Tasman - (Huni, Hardman etc)

  • LordShadowSith Levi | Callisto-FearX 👽 (@LordShadowSith) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Hi I am annoyed that my Foxtel went down - let's hope it's not a neighbourly issue. (seems odd its went down on not even a windy day.) I have not been unplugged for ages!

  • EnoTheWonderdog An imaginary dog named (@EnoTheWonderdog) reported

    @RealCOZZASAIDSO @Foxtel @WWE i've been watching it on my computer - it's the only way I can search properly.. I have the foxtel Streaming service Foxtel Go - has all the good channels and is cheaper!

  • gjclelo Geoff Cleland (@gjclelo) reported

    Are you going to investigate my issue foxtel because I’m not stopping until you do

  • MissHissyKat Cateena (@MissHissyKat) reported

    @MillyMolly300 Thanks Maggie. Did you survive the Foxtel garbage on H&M Maggie ? Meghan is acting from the few grabs I've seen, and Harry should be in therapy. They're making a fortune ,so it time to leave the family alone. The producers should be sacked. No time for Netflix after this muck.

  • dec_pol dec (@dec_pol) reported

    its pandering and subsidies to the coal industry, its blatant and stupid refusal to have a decent Non-renewable Resource Levy, its many gifts and subsidies to other industries eg Foxtel ($30mill), Channel 9 & Murdoch $17mill),

    @FOXTEL_Help I'm not getting anything apart from a message when I try to sign in AF4013.
