    @CircleToonsHD here in australia, we have a pay-tv cable network (foxtel) that charges exuberant amounts of money and has, like, 5x more ads than standard free-to-air tv. but yeah i pretty much never watch tv anymore, and in rare circumstances where i have to, it's made me angry/annoyed lmao

  • AxelyOffical Hallie (@AxelyOffical) reported

    @Foxtel I will never recover I still can’t believe it’s the end 🤭

  • colinfry666 Colin Fry (@colinfry666) reported

    @EnsignR @Foxtel Wise plan. I hope Foxtel’s news streaming service isn’t included in that. Those channels are crimes against sanity.

  • CaroLoui Caroline Bailey (@CaroLoui) reported

    @angel_Bling_11 @Foxtel Did they fix this for you as I have the same issue No too menu?

  • zombi_anon zombi (@zombi_anon) reported

    @MFWitches Foxtel runs a monopoly on alot of American shows game of thrones for example, and I'm not paying there ridiculous prices or dealing with there "customer support".

  • _SocialDemocrat Leftwing Bastard (@_SocialDemocrat) reported

    @MFWitches So I’m not going to be party to this vote, which is particularly silly. But what part of I don’t support Foxtel don’t you understand?

  • thestorminside5 The Storm Inside (@thestorminside5) reported

    @shafcfc_ @Foxtel @Wentworth Agreed. Mainly spoiled by cheap cheap sentimentality and fan-service conclusions. It was entertaining but could have been much more daring

  • Sh0Jay jaySh0 (@Sh0Jay) reported

    @Foxtel 😩😩😩😩😭😭😭😭😭😭. Don’t let it be over @Foxtel #Wentworth This is like a bad dream 😭😭😭😩😩😩

  • real_jmcsomeone Jack McSomeone ✳️✳️ (@real_jmcsomeone) reported

    @MFWitches I still do it to this day for many reasons. My parents don't have the Foxtel package for Wentworth, so I download it for them. Also, I download movies, TV and music for myself mainly because of geo blocking, cost of physical media and streaming service removing content

  • plutta Paul Lutkajtis (@plutta) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help my IQ5 hasn’t been working for 4 days. Apparently a “known issue” impacting most IQ5s. When will this be fixed? Can’t use the service that I’m paying for…

  • Samuelschmamuel Samuelschmamuel (@Samuelschmamuel) reported

    @GAFan8 @Foxtel What a way to go out, with a bang! I live near the places where they shoot all this, the building they shoot the prison in has now been demolished. I have to wonder if they actually shot part of the demolition with all those bricks collapsing down.

  • PositiveRaych Rachel (@PositiveRaych) reported

    @MFWitches Similar to other replies - poor, young, no access, seemed like everyone was doing it. Don’t do it anymore, happy to purchase vinyl & pay for streaming (never Foxtel). Would also love an alternative to evil Amazon Audible for audiobooks?

  • Miss__84 miss_84 (@Miss__84) reported

    If I’m paying a stupid amount of $$ compared to other streaming services which have multiple seasons available why does @Foxtel still run ads between episodes? Like I thought paying for it would rid me of ads if I wanted to watch them I’d just watch free to air tv

  • snarkygenXwitch GenXWitch aka "Prole"💉💉🧹 (@snarkygenXwitch) reported

    @MFWitches I got GOT on pirate bay until the final season. I would have subbed to any other streaming service but not Foxtel. Final season I watched on. Friend’s Foxtel account. I did it out of sheer spite. #fuckmurdoch

  • CGMakin Wheeler (@CGMakin) reported

    @Foxtel foxtel can suck a ****.. such a bad organisation.. burnt a 20 yr subscriber over something petty.. go bankrupt

  • 1cauldronofbats A Cauldron of Bats (@1cauldronofbats) reported

    @Foxtel I could literally subscribe to EVERY streaming service available in Australia, Movies AND music, and it would still be cheaper than Foxtel

  • my3epaulets Douglas Johnson (@my3epaulets) reported

    Can someone just leak the entire AACTA panel since foxtel couldn't have its **** together #wentworth

  • specisland GazzatheGecko (@specisland) reported

    @RitaPanahi When I seen this I actually turned off Foxtel......never to watch this **** again

  • JarvFromOz Jarv (@JarvFromOz) reported

    Australian cable TV (@Foxtel ) has garbage international ESPN commentary of World Series. Um, it's World Series time....Joe Buck please. So thankful for MLB TV.

  • Jason_84_Brown Jason D Brown (@Jason_84_Brown) reported

    @Foxtel Don’t waste your time and money on Foxtel, it’s crap. Netflix and Stan combined with Amazon Prime has more quality content.

  • JohnBro79382455 JohnBronson (@JohnBro79382455) reported

    @Foxtel Idk want this ****

  • MorkaiAU Name cannot be blank. (@MorkaiAU) reported

    @jamiemgalea @seriesofblursx But Jamie, think of poor Foxtel, what would releasing HBO to Australia do to poor, widdle ol' Foxtel?!?

  • vim_storm Vimal Kumar 🔰 (@vim_storm) reported

    @Foxtel Hi Jack it's been more than 4 hours of my DM I'm still awaiting a resolution

  • BeeGeeBF1 BeeGeeBF (@BeeGeeBF1) reported

    @FOXTEL_help - help please - trying to download Beartown and Cover Story and it lets me do so but the ep won't play - just shows a black screen.

  • pearty7 daytona (@pearty7) reported

    @VinceRugari If you have a proper Foxtel account (i.e. Foxtel Go) then you can use those credentials login to BeIN Sports Connect and watch all Serie A matches live.

  • BenSonicz Benodamus (@BenSonicz) reported

    No WiFi = No Netflix, no streaming Foxtel & no YouTube......what ******** can I do with myself!??? @Telstra #Telstra

  • 80sbabeeAngel 🕇 Meg 🕸👻🕷🍬🎃 (@80sbabeeAngel) reported

    Mum tried it on hers and hers is working Must be a foxtel issue

  • Lou1050 Barb (@Lou1050) reported

    @Channel10AU @TheMatildas If the only way to watch is on 10 Play, because Foxtel doesnt have 10 Bold, Why do you need to interrupt to ask if I am still watching??? Missed a goal! Thanks 10 for stupid interruption.

  • EnsignR Ross the Refactorer💉💉 🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺🀄🐇 (@EnsignR) reported

    Happy day. I finally won the very long running argument and $he has disconnected @Foxtel. Signing up for every single streaming service will be cheaper. I've been saying this for years but it took $his brother to finally convince $him yesterday.

  • jamesmiller62 James M Miller (@jamesmiller62) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Still not working. Any thoughts?
