    @NetballAust Well done to Netball Australia for a historic TV Rights Deal with the Nine Network for the next Five years and taking it off Foxtel.

    I'm almost done with @Telstra. Two months in a row I've had bill problems with Foxtel by Telstra. I tried to cancel it a couple weeks ago but they gave me a good discount. Get new bill today, discount applied BUT the price of it went up, wiping out the discount. 🤬🤬

    @JFalleiro Jeepers. I try to cancel my foxtel and I have the retention department sending me emails, and them giving me deals I don’t want over the phone! I can’t escape them! I feel sad hearing all this. I genuinely do.

    Why the hell are Foxtel waisting Jess Webster on a VFL game? She is better than the majority of commentators on any network.

    @Foxtel wtf is going on... Ads in the middle of the Hawks GCS game and now no vision?

    @HostShinyoku @LesniakAndrew42 @kazakura_22 Game of Thrones is a great example. When it was on air, Australia was a massive pirate of the show. People were downloading torrents. Why? Because the only way to watch was with a ******* Foxtel subscription (cable TV contract). Everyone said **** that.

    @JOSH______NZ @skysportnz Did the exact same here with Foxtel, it’s a ****** joke…. Then he got blocked and Croftey goes “I didn’t think it was all that bad to be honest!” They barely acknowledge him at all, it’s farcical.

    @JSchloeman45114 @RightPulseNewss Yes that's right! It's the same where I am, people who don't have Foxtel only get to see Local news & the ABC news which is very Biased to the Labor Government we have. Albanese puts Australia LAST and we're heading down the same path as the UK fast!

    @Foxtel call customer support and box not showing channels and loading, told it will take 2 business days for someone to contact, simply not good enough

    @intothecrevasse I never watched it but saw the ads regularly back when I had TheComedyChannel as part of my Foxtel package.

    @inthebarberry @CattardSlim It’s owned by Fox, so why is anyone to expect? Ironically, Foxtel (basically the country’s biggest cable network and owned by Murdoch) has Sky News and CNN on consecutive channels. Go figure.

    i did a mock order on the foxtel website to see how much it would be to potentially get one. ever since i’ve had them calling me 5-7 times a day 😭 one way to lose a potential customer!

    @FOXNRL The whole game of rugby league is **** now , referee's ruining games and 2 teams that can win the comp , too predictable, get rid of foxtel / kayo it's a joke

  • TAStanton2323

    @lauren_vasiliou Have dealt with them a lot, one thing that’s scary is they have no fear, not of police, not scared of consequences. Because the worst they get is Aussie jail for a bit, and that’s 3 hot meals a day, gym and Foxtel.

    I don't understand how company's like telsta, foxtel etc Keep increasing prices but you get no extra value or better service or anything. Bills keep going up and the government just wants to tax us more and does nothing about it.

    @Sam957063743921 @jamesxclean @jarrodwalsh That would've meant a lot, not Foxtel deciding to broadcast his emotional reaction. If you want to see how bad a call that is watch the Crows post of the moment, where they cut Jordan out.

    @BingIsBackBaby @Foxtel The @FOXTEL_Help team are absolute jerks these days. The chat service is even worse than the phone service. They just lie and refuse to help.

  • BingIsBackBaby
    James Bing (@BingIsBackBaby) reported

    @MrTobyCook @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help The only traction was to say I wish to cancel...they transferred me to their Australian loyalty and retention team who replaced their set top box and gave them a $480 credit over 12 months... I recommend others doing it. They have no technicians or on short support now sadly.

    @gavin_laing Streaming rights- both live and highlights -are more important than ever. Nine would like to retain (or gain) some exclusivity for live telecasts as Foxtel regularly beats it for viewers when games are simultaneously broadcast. Its product is that bad (put it down to commentary)
