  • bulldoglegend Dogsman (@bulldoglegend) reported

    @sara_k85 Seems there was some wiggle room in his declaration of 💯 support from Foxtel

  • MarkParisWill MPW101 (@MarkParisWill) reported

    @Foxtel I will never watch anything on Foxtel because you have the revolting and manipulative ultra-right-wing Murdoch family steering your company.

  • pcdegroot Peter de Groot (@pcdegroot) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @somewherein84 They're kids; they never do. No Foxtel, no fast internet or limited data, no dishwasher ...

  • OzCulprit Dale (@OzCulprit) reported

    @DeanRosario Good point, in saying that Foxtel have a contract with the AFL worth a **** load of money. Always follow the money.

  • KylieT23 Kylie (@KylieT23) reported

    @thetipsguru Yeah used to be Foxtel (Telstra) had all of them on 1 service 5 years ago, now they are owned by different Networks #EPL (Optus Sport) #AFL (Foxtel-Kayo-Channel 7 #ALeague (Paramount+)

  • thetipsguru thetipsman (@thetipsguru) reported

    @TheOnlyLongy @Foxtel then u have the battle with foxtel with trying to cancel

  • RyanSimmonds23 Uncanny Ryan (@RyanSimmonds23) reported

    Its concerning that alot of Australians introduction to 4k has been foxtel a lazy attempt by a horrible company

  • diebartdie7 diebartdie (@diebartdie7) reported

    @tinettitv @MichaelWestBiz The service provided now is riddled with ads (3-4 unskippable ad breaks per show) and at unwatchable low quality. Clearly ABC/SBS/Govt have no intention of providing a good competitor to Foxtel. I would pay if I could access the same content at hi def/4k with no ads.

  • Augustusone2 Augustusone (@Augustusone2) reported

    @Foxtel Well you sure as hell not getting me when between you and Telstra you can't successfully transfer my service that i had for 15 plus years to new address even with 3 weeks notification. No wonder your losing subscribers at rapid rate.

  • real_jmcsomeone Jack McSomeone 🇺🇦💙💛 (@real_jmcsomeone) reported

    @Foxtel If @kayosports gets 4K support, then I'll be happy

  • itsrenatak Renata (@itsrenatak) reported

    Since I have been running the free to air TV through Foxtel box Sydney channel 9 has always had weak signal and so has my local Prime 7 Channel had some weak signal for the last few months.

  • 1Swinging_Voter JILL (@1Swinging_Voter) reported

    Foxtel on PC not working for anyone else?

  • kerrymaree4034 Kerry 🤷🏼 Somebody Told Me (@kerrymaree4034) reported

    @GrousestDad So he’s just as bad at commentating on the AFL as he is on the cricket? Thank god for Foxtel or I’d never see any Big Bash games. Bradshaw and Hodge talk absolute **** on Channel 7s coverage

  • EdgeBets_ Edge Bets (@EdgeBets_) reported

    @Foxtel Who ******** uses foxtel???

  • MrWilson1972 CDW (@MrWilson1972) reported

    @sophieelsworth @australian Ahhh the irony that this article sits behind a paywall and this commentator is a contributor to a subscription news service on Foxtel.

  • Wallagootwobily David (@Wallagootwobily) reported

    @Foxtel I just want the package that is available to a new customer. Not that hard really. Rewards should also be automatically done, like my subscription is each month.

  • darbecx BRAD.EXCELL11 (@darbecx) reported

    @Foxtel please dont put the 4k channel though the internet because my internet connection isnt that reliable. That is a bad idea. And people haven't got much data .if you are going to do things that way i don't want it on .sorry! Change it back.

  • alidebmunro alistair munro (@alidebmunro) reported

    @Foxtel 12 hour outage on my broadband…..any chance of that call back you promised at 10am….

  • ItsBam89 BAMMILZ  (@ItsBam89) reported

    @Foxtel Stopped using Foxtel years ago, why would I pay for a service that’s full of adds? Adds are to pay for free to air tv not bloody Foxtel. I’m surprised you’re still in business

  • tigers42020 Tigerland Terror 🐯2017🏆2019🏆2020🏆🐯 (@tigers42020) reported

    @Damo__73_ @TheGas80 They are ****, their pox service suddenly decided not to work via my foxtel now box.(had been working through it for months ) ring up tech support - oh no - built in chromecast isnt supported. But it worked yesterday. Not supported. Amateurs...

  • Dangerman_2 Col Smith (@Dangerman_2) reported

    @SteveMolk I'm glad I don't get @SkyNewsAust anymore. This special alone would have encouraged me to cancel my @Foxtel subscription.

  • trendyprawn Dan Andrews (@trendyprawn) reported

    @AlexONei11 @GilhamNick @FOXFOOTY Well, if he’s not too embarrassed to show his face at Foxtel HQ again, then talking about a female colleague having her “licker licence” I’m sure won’t go down too well amongst Foxtel execs.

  • FPL_MADSouvles FPL Manager “MAD Souvles” (@FPL_MADSouvles) reported

    The ending to ‘A Teacher’ on @Foxtel was terrible. Rate season 1 except for the final episode.

  • kdwagz Limp Chriskit (@kdwagz) reported

    @Gameoverluke @sara_k85 @Foxtel Whilst it is digital vs antenna, the antenna signal is digital to, Foxtel have always had the delays due to the above. I know this because when I use to watch at mum n dads, dad would sit watching 7 we would watch fox in the other room and constantly have goals or plays spoilt

  • nwilliams7900 Stick Williams (@nwilliams7900) reported

    @Foxtel Why ******** don’t you look after your existing customers…

  • jaylongville Jason Longville (@jaylongville) reported

    @kayosports Why does your AFL coverage always have issues? Does Foxtel throttle their feed to you?

  • thetipsguru thetipsman (@thetipsguru) reported

    @TheOnlyLongy @Foxtel do the cancel direct debit they will be soon on the phone

  • sara_k85 sara without an H (@sara_k85) reported

    @Gameoverluke @Foxtel It’s ******* ****. I regret my decision for digital.

  • itsrenatak Renata (@itsrenatak) reported

    Sometimes if the signal for free air TV is good I get 36 channels some are repetitive channels and I got local and Sydney channels as well but since I re-tuned my free to air channels through the Foxtel box it cut back on some channels due to weak signal.

  • TheRiffJet Riff Jet (@TheRiffJet) reported

    @Foxtel Over priced crap now a days.
