    @GreenCap13 @Foxtel I bet you get your “truth” from the ABC (Australian Bullshit Company). What violence does skynews support?

  • pridemumma Lost Queenslander (@pridemumma) reported

    @Oceansnevlisten @HBO @Foxtel Definitely ones as bad or worse than Shane and more than a few Tanyas. I did love Quinn’s character though.

  • stephenc24 Steve (@stephenc24) reported

    @ahleach @Foxtel wtf are they doing - do a 90 minute special sure but 8 episodes I think I saw - where's the demand for that aside from Robbo ?

  • Foxhole97974843 Foxhole (@Foxhole97974843) reported

    @Foxtel Why do people watch this ****

  • WavyMrRager WavyMrRager (@WavyMrRager) reported

    @Foxtel Who ******** cares about these plastic Frankenstein freaks

  • Geness63 Evie Elliott (@Geness63) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Foxtel is supposed to provide a premium service to their customers. And yet, Kayo manage to stream every warm up match, and Foxtel don’t. I am very disappointed to not be able to see RSA play Afghanistan. You are only showing 3/8 of the warm ups.

    Why ******** does foxtel still exist

  • page_casper666 Casper page (@page_casper666) reported

    @SkyNewsAust what about your anti progressive agenda. Do you really think people are so stupid. Go back to Foxtel

  • bluemtnsbagban Kate Swadling (@bluemtnsbagban) reported

    @Foxtel Please don’t manipulate bad behaviour of women for entertainment. It’s depressing.

    @Foxtel God help us!

  • Randycee21 Randall Clayton (@Randycee21) reported

    @Foxtel This is the biggest bunch of brain dead airheads on tv. The woman are oxygen thieving,fake morons who have no idea on reality at all. And people are still stupid enough to watch it

  • Jeffrey3357 Jeffrey (@Jeffrey3357) reported

    @Foxtel Total dog ****...

  • tcb934 T-Bone (@tcb934) reported

    @AWealls @FOXFOOTY @KathLoughnan The guy has a smidge under 500 games of experience at the highest level. He isn’t there because of his voice. If that was the case with foxtel recruiting then Kelli Underwood would never have gotten a gig. She got her role for her knowledge and ability to be able call the game.

  • hodgavic Steve Hodgson (@hodgavic) reported

    @Higgo74 Just switched from Foxtel to iiNet, iiNet has been great. we had a 50Mbps plan that was lucky to get 25, and we've bumped up to iiNet's 90Mbps plan and it's rarely below 65, their customer service was pretty good too when we were trying to sort out a range extender.

  • PaulPrigby prigby (@PaulPrigby) reported

    @Foxtel Cancelled Foxtel years ago: haven’t regretted it for a second. This Housewives crap reminds me it was the right call...

  • JohnVilnis John Vilnis (@JohnVilnis) reported

    @Telstra24x7 Any news about a complete NBN outage in the Windsor, Brisbane area? Internet and Foxtel are completely down and have been for about an hour so far.

  • Alby86836117 Alby (@Alby86836117) reported

    @Foxtel Fox brain dead grivel, but people do eat chemical grown preserved coloured ****. So it doesn't surprise me they watch this. Its a bit like how the ABC reports one idiotical point of view in their so called news these days What did happend to journalism. Did it die with Assange

  • KatClark19 Kat Clark (@KatClark19) reported

    @Foxtel Damn thought it was Sharknado.

    I'm sorry to tell you Foxtel but you are wrong West Indies weren't runner ups in the last World cup T20 they won it you idiot

  • LifeisFootbal1 Life is Footbal (@LifeisFootbal1) reported

    @Foxtel What a load of **** are people so pathetic that they watch this crap

  • mat_3rd Mathius of Gaff (@mat_3rd) reported

    @danbrettig My parents won’t use Kayo due to the whole internet bamboozles them thing so they stick with Foxtel and I agree with your point they should cover it. One way to force them to not treat Foxtel subscribers as mugs is to drop the service.

  • t_bal13 Tony B (@t_bal13) reported

    @FOXFOOTY Noooooooo! Will have the volume turned down! What a nightmare. Might have to think long & hard re: the Foxtel subscription

  • GreenCap13 Harvey Mushman (@GreenCap13) reported

    @Foxtel Cancel Foxtel - Stop funding Murdoch Hate

  • LeslieDaFrog AL (@LeslieDaFrog) reported

    @Foxtel Wouldn't it be great if a streaming service you pay for didn't have ads.

  • DeanFonzy Dean Marsham (@DeanFonzy) reported

    @ahleach @Foxtel You absolute idiot

  • RoostersSambo ***** #lolatsouffs (@RoostersSambo) reported

    @JGrams23 @hinterland33 @LeagueUnlimited Why do Optus offer EPL free on their network... its a value add & wins customers But Telstra didnt end the deal the NRL did Telstra were trying to sell out of Foxtel before this happened Which forced them to pivot fully into Kayo, where they now heavily discount subscribers

  • credlessk credlessk (@credlessk) reported

    @Foxtel You guys oughta be ashamed of yourselves for producing such garbage!!!
