  • aussibec1981 Rebecca Jane Wainwright (@aussibec1981) reported

    @FOXFOOTY @Foxtel @kayosports I don’t even watch Fox Footy because of Robbo - he’s a terrible co-host why can’t we see Dunstall back on the show? Why diesFoxtel put us through this - move Robbo to the couch and out Riewoldt on 360

  • waynemarkdoyle Wayne Doyle (@waynemarkdoyle) reported

    @diaper_donkills The accepted story is that Murdoch was scared of Netflix and streaming destroying his Foxtel business so he urged the LNP to slow down the NBN.

  • leighchantelle Leigh-Chantelle (@leighchantelle) reported

    Spent the past FOUR hours trying to sort out @Telstra and @Foxtel issues this afternoon when Dad & sister with me. Two calls dropped out and no calls back. Alex from Brisbane most helpful after 2 hour runaround from #Telstra NBN & #Foxtel…

  • DetlefMel Mel 🏁🇦🇺🇩🇪 (@DetlefMel) reported

    @Brython14 @FOXTEL_Help Is this an ongoing issue for you? It been a good week minimum for me

  • MarkPlackett1 🌱💧Mark Plackett ♻ (@MarkPlackett1) reported

    @MayneReport @crikey_news @simonahac So let's cancel the Foxtel subscription

  • Brython14 Brython (@Brython14) reported

    @DetlefMel @FOXTEL_Help Yes it's been more than a week, a lot more. I have a support ticket in (CS1111472 if you are interested) but they just don't reply or do anything. Foxtel do manage to send me a monthly invoice for a service I can't use. They need to be put in jail. #Australia

  • JesseC Jesse C (@JesseC) reported

    @FOXFOOTY @Foxtel @kayosports Think this is pretty fair however I’m fairly confident the answer is they were doing a terrible job and walked because we were going to push them.

  • thechileexpress Jason Alvarez Vargas (@thechileexpress) reported

    @FOXFOOTY @Foxtel @kayosports Robbo sounds like a drunken idiot 90% of the time and so does his little ant of a co host

  • MarineManna Manna. Writer Lemon. 🍋 (@MarineManna) reported

    Hey @Foxtel you need to engage in some sensitivity training for your staff. Giving my aunt the hard sell when her mother just died is really poor form. She called to inform you that the account needed to be closed. Trying to pressure her into buying more product is disgusting.

  • MinniePage2017 Minnie (@MinniePage2017) reported

    @Colvick Foxtel is one of the worst Provider in Australia they never bring anything new they Always show the same thing over and over again.

  • ianpicone Ian Picone (@ianpicone) reported

    @NBN_Australia My address is 4/18 lather street southport. I receive foxtel through the coaxial cable network, a foxtel technician has visited my premises because many of the ch i pay for are not available, signal strength is "low" do you maintain this network or telstra

  • itsrenatak Renata (@itsrenatak) reported

    Some channels has had changes done or been removed from Foxtel in Australia and they got rid of Disney channel as it went to it’s own streaming platform called Disney plus not being added yet or never as an app to Foxtel

  • denis46492129 denis (@denis46492129) reported

    @Sandgroper110 @Foxtel Foxtel is NOT the same that we signed up for some years ago. Very disappointing really. We pay a lot of money for ads which we never used to have. A repetitive show selection. A repetitive movie selection. They need to move with the times & smarten up their whole show.

  • SkyBlueSainter Scott (@SkyBlueSainter) reported

    @westernsaints @bounce_centre I’m home today - usually I watch NBA games via the League Pass app where the US ad Breaks are usually filled with highlights…got it on via Foxtel today.. big difference with all the ****** gambling pumped in.Sometimes I think I get League Pass purely to avoid that ****

  • ijc08 Save our planet (@ijc08) reported

    @DavidBe53174057 You can also cancel your subscriptions to Foxtel, Binge, Kayo, if you can.

  • Brython14 Brython (@Brython14) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help I have messaged them as you have asked before, I have emailed them as you have asked before and I have received no response. You know my ticket number is CS1111472 - Device Issue - Error Code - PE2005, why don't you do something to help me? #Australia

  • itsrenatak Renata (@itsrenatak) reported

    I had to reboot my Foxtel box as there was a memory issue with certain parts of the Foxtel box and it stinks that Netflix doesn’t always work properly and it needed a reboot.

  • elev3nty7 Susan Simons (@elev3nty7) reported

    @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help it’s been weeks now of not being able to use the Foxtel Now service I’m paying $15 a month to be able to watch our Foxtel on a second TV. 5 min into watching I get error code PE2005. Your live chat are no help, just keep saying they’re working on the issue

  • OakeyJim Jim Oakey (@OakeyJim) reported

    @Foxtel Thanks for the heads up! - we spent an hour chatting and fixing the old box eventually,but we could still handle an HD JOB with recording facilities! How do we get it? Do we have to cancel and subscribe afresh?

  • LoneLost LostLoneWolfFarrell (@LoneLost) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help my recently widowed mother has spent the best part of 6 weeks wasting endless hours with your customer service just trying to get a visit after she moved out of the family home of 30 years. Frequent cancellations broken promises and continuing to charge monthly fee.

  • TH79Games TommaHawk79 Games (@TH79Games) reported

  • ben39508811 ben (@ben39508811) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help I am having issues with my broadband can I call on 131 999?

  • LeeKimpton2 Lee Kimpton (@LeeKimpton2) reported

    @jon_wertheim Devastated, I am a tennis lover in a huge way. So angry that I have to stream on my iPhone the points only to see how my beloved tennis players are going. I have Foxtel, Netflix in Australia and Foxtel sports, I can’t afford another service Stan or have to watch what Gem shows 👎🏻

  • itsrenatak Renata (@itsrenatak) reported

    When I first got my pay TV service Foxtel they use to show Rugrats back in 1999 and here in 2022 they still show Rugrats on Nickelodeon channel.

  • murganella Sceptic (@murganella) reported

    @Foxtel Sorry. Foxtel is a Murdoch company. It’s poison in Australian community, doesn’t deserve support, until they start paying tax in Australia.

  • DallasLewis_Aus Dallas Lewis (@DallasLewis_Aus) reported

    @transparency_a1 @RoseGWhite @SKYNZ No it's not. Just looked it up. My mistake. I'm in Australia but have spent time in NZ. I've ditched the Fox owned Foxtel satellite service here and now have the Fetch streaming box and service. Don't think you have anything like it in NZ. The satellite thing is dying here.

  • ianpicone Ian Picone (@ianpicone) reported

    @Telstra do you maintain the coaxial network that i receive my foxtel from telstra on. foxtel technician reports signal strength is "low". address 4/18 lather street southport

  • Kelly04943543 Kelly (@Kelly04943543) reported

    @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help I’m just going to keep asking til you thieves fix the issue

  • danshark2016 Dan Jones (@danshark2016) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help PE2005 error, Samsung TV, tried all troubleshooting, get an error message every set of ads, how do I get help or best to just cancel my service?

  • SnakeTeflon Teflon Snake (vibes) (@SnakeTeflon) reported

    @FOXFOOTY @Foxtel @kayosports Every single AFL media story is a "beat up" in one sense or another, and this is especially laughable coming from someone like Mark Robinson. I mean.........does Eddie Betts literally walk on water & crap gold bricks? The list is endless.
