-
Dingus wingus (@drewwharton) reported@catgirlprostate I don't think TV in Australia is that bad but the British channel that my mum watches on Foxtel is especially bad.
-
mark macca 🐅🐅🏆 (@mcdonellaussie) reported@Optus @alexblair_1 First thing I would check is Alex on Kayo or Foxtel? Everyone complains about Kayo I constantly have issues with Foxtel through the internet continuously buffering while my download speeds are in the 80s!
-
Jan (@bimmyjartel) reportedWent to watch the recorded 7 news on IQ. Not there. Then realised all the other programs that should have recorded aren't there either. Has anyone else had that problem with Foxtel?
-
Kieran Bridge (@KieranBridge5) reported@sculls_6 Worst thing it did was ever leave Foxtel. Went backwards 10 years after that
-
G. 🇦🇺🇮🇱 🦅🤘🏼 (@geraint266) reported@chadtownsend10 The trouble is Chad, the app is terrible and continually breaks down, if it didn’t do that there would be a lot less complaints. The price has gone up $20 on the last few years and the service hasn’t improved. I pay $107 a month to have Foxtel I can afford it, many cannot.
-
Mike David (@illhp_mike) reported@thebigjohnnyd @MercJestr I had recorded something on my Foxtel box, came back to watch it and it wouldn't play it because they no longer had the rights to it. FFS not asking you to keep streaming it, but let me watch what's recorded. This never happened back in the olden days when I recorded to a VCR
-
TheTopMostDog 🇦🇺🐕🦺🏕️🎣🔫🪓🥩 (@TheTopMostDog) reported@Foxtel Mum is still paying $90/mo for this ****. I've almost convinced her to let it go. The value just isn't there anymore since competition ramped up. She could pay for half a dozen streaming platforms for that much. Unless you change, you'll die along with your last subscribers.
-
“Smash Her” (@dougjones90909) reported@NRLMedia What an awful outcome for fans. Higher prices. Still have to watch the biggest games on nine in their ****** “HD”. Games covered by nine still not in 4K on Foxtel. ******* pathetic. It’s 2026 FFS, not 1990.
-
Stonkin Days (@n0otherwaythere) reported@craigspeculator @Foxtel You can’t expect service workers to do emotional Labor. They’d get these calls all day. Personally I as a customer would prefer they keep it cold.
-
wb1234 (@wallybechara) reported@WSWanderingEels My idea down the track is Saturday 930 nrl game (good for Perth) feeding directly into an earlier super league game. That would get them decent coin. Like when they go to 11 or 12 games. They can afford Foxtel so much more value down the track, afl can’t.
-
ear (@greatfaerie) reportedOn the siege eps of S7 in my WW rewatch and remembering when they ended the first one making it look like Br*dy shot Vera in the head and never in the show had my heart dropped straight through my *** like that...not even funny at all I was about to find Foxtel headquarters
-
alunsays (@alunsays) reported@leighjones0212 @Foxtel If you’re a CBA customer you can get Binge and Kayo for $17 a month. Ditch Foxtel.
-
Scrumblebum (@scrumblebum1) reportedHad to get. IQ5 replaced because it doesn’t have sound and the replacement one is doing the same. How bad are we treated by @Foxtel for the lousy bloody products at globally high prices. Going to make a ACCC complaint. Bloody useless
-
Trev (@trevapchichi) reported@SoundingBoardEp @DrinkWiseAus For next years Hall of Fame, will Foxtel be asking Crown to serve meals on plastic plates? The sound of cutlery smacking crockery during Bill Walkers elevation was just horrible TV
-
Scrumblebum (@scrumblebum1) reportedWhy are @Foxtel IQ5 such pieces of **** . Seriously they are the ******* worst and all Foxtel does is replace them knowing they are defective. Jesus Christ these corporates piss me off
-
Frumpy (@Frumpy45) reportedGood goal, too bad we missed it because Foxtel are obsessed with showing replays of absolutely nothing #AFLLionsHawks
-
Matt (@MC_Hammer75) reported@Aliceh_1936 It's so conflicting as I pay for a Foxtel subscription and enjoy the NRL via Fox way more than 9, but their journalism department is a bag of *****. I've blocked them on here so I don't see their rubbish clickbait. And on Galvin, **** every journo who **** on him. Wankers.
-
Yeezalicious (@Yeezalicious69) reported@PollyPorridge My town didn’t have channel ten until I was like 12? Or maybe later so if you didn’t have Foxtel you never saw it, and when I visited my aunty in Adelaide it was banned so it was a double whammy
-
Fine Cotton (@mr_finecotton) reported@Foxtel u say u provide the best entertainment & sport.... the latest series of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch premiered 19 May 2026 in the USA.... It's July & youre still not screening in Aust - why am I paying $100/mth for second rate service? @HISTORY @BrandonFugal
-
Jez - WORLD PEACE PLEASE 🕊️❤️🌍 🇵🇸🇺🇦🇮🇷🌍 (@Jezzabhai108) reported@landry235 I very much think, Sue, that you and I are in the same 'Club'. I'm having a terrible time at the moment. I'm staying with Mum in Sydney and frankly, I think I'd feel more welcome and comfortable in a morgue. These things were sent to test us. And that reminds me: on my 50th birthday I hadn't heard ANYTHING from Mum by 5 in the afternoon, so I decided to phone her instead. She answered the phone in a foul mood and said she couldn't talk right then because she was having trouble with setting the Foxtel box to record the news! And then she hung up 🙄🙄🙄
-
Kurt (@kurtjj95) reported@centralNRL Holy ****, we are finally close to being rid of Matt Thompson. Go on Foxtel
-
the cat (@boogiecat11) reported@brentread_7 Shut up you *** clown. You and Crawley never have anything positive to say in the media. It is a criminal act that Foxtel and kayo make people pay money to see shows with you 2 idiots on there
-
Jason W. (@The_real_J_Web) reported@ReadingThePlay My stream looks like your picture. Terrible stream tonight. Any movement is jittery and awful. @Foxtel need to do better.
-
TWHM (@TWHM4) reported@KateSchroe51943 I found it on HBO Max on Foxtel. First thing I'd watched on HBO Max. Mainly keep Foxtel for the football, and the odd older movie. Most of it's trash. Costs a bomb, not even close to a value proposition. FTA's also garbage. Refuse to pay streamers.
-
Don 🇺🇦🇦🇺 (@squizzy36) reported@MisinfoFact Who actually watches this stupid ****? I have Foxtel, and I'm repulsed that's it even on there!
-
Esgee (@StassyGee) reported@PhilGould15 Sir, could we please look at starting our own channel to watch just our own games? I'm tired of giving those sour ***** at Fox my money. After listening to Voss and whatever the other has been's name is, I'm ready to cancel Foxtel after 20 yrs.
-
SupremeBeing (@SupremeBeing888) reportedFoxtel is worth about $4.99-$6.99 a month, it’s full of commercials… cancel your Foxtel now
-
Milram 361 aka Nigerian Prince (@Milram361) reported@PieNorthern I know I pay overs for Foxtel but we have very few, aka zero problems watching sport. FWIIW
-
Rachel (@beetwoot) reported@FOXTEL_Help so apparently your live chat only works up to the point of saying “it’s still not working” and then they drop the chat.
-
James Jones (@JamesyJones) reported@OMGTheMess Coalition also handed out $40m to Foxtel. Complete and utter scam. Cash for comment each and every night. There was no tender, no conditions and no reporting. All to a subscription service that cheerleads them every night. But the Right don’t dare bring that up.
