Don't get me wrong: Foxtel *was* a great service back in the 1990s and 2000s, but since about 2012/13 it started losing key channels. I think Foxtel now only has one children's channel (in 2025, free to air probably has more! 😮) while a lot of the music ones have gone too.

The fact Foxtel hired Warner for commentary shows Australia that Foxtel don't give a ****. Warner disgraced Australin cricket and we couldn't wait for him to leave the side, now we have to hear the sook. **** him off @FOXSportsAUS @FoxCricket #INDvsAUS

@boogiecat11 @Foxtel Follow the prompts to cancel your service. They will offer you a discount before you confirm.

@Bunkers444 @deanja110 You right in reality / normal circumstances / I only got FOXTEL on 7 years ago because it keeps me out of Pubs & Clubs = saving me huge dollars I was wasting & couldn't afford / I treat myself to the Pub once every 3 months now / not spending $100 per week like before ! 👍

@katie_ginella What's going on? I can't watch RHOOC anymore. In Australia the only network that plays it is Foxtel and I had to get rid of it. I freaking love this show. I don't know who Katie is 😭

@Crickettrag1965 It's a game guaranteed to Foxtel as part of the broadcast deal, hence will never be standalone

Live sport is just about keeping Foxtel afloat, although you do have to wonder what would happen if the FTA networks finally decided to work together and build a "Freeview Sports" service which could potentially offset costs for some of those ever-increasing sports rights deals!

@MilanesePat @beINSPORTS_AUS @Foxtel I was happy when I heard it was going to be on Foxtel, maybe better streaming. Unfortunately I think it is worse, unable to get on or cutting out. We deserve a better service, maybe when BeIn will not have the rights to Serie A.

Foxtel Satellite launched on 1/3/1999, some 9-10 months after Australia's first Pay TV provider Galaxy went under. As far as I know, Foxtel's cable network was switched off in Adelaide/Perth on 30/6/2023 and in the Eastern states on 24/10/2023 - the day after its 28th birthday.

You know a storm is bad when you can't see the apartment tower that's a few blocks away, that you usually have a clear view of, AND your Foxtel is out.

The next time I hear the phrase, "Blockbuster "...💩 During the footy season, even with 2 teams around the bottom 4 on a a Friday night...."tonight's Blockbuster!". And Foxtel ads shouting at you, " Don't miss these Blockbuster Movies'"...yeah..woke Hollywood garbage.

@michelle_welch1 @jessbee1999 Hmm. I watched on Kayo/Foxtel, and I am sure NZ fans watched the Aus games on Sky. Both broadcasters need to treat international games as such.

@lesstenny @SkyNewsAust Best thing we did was get rid of foxtel (& skynews), it wasn't easy at 1st, but then we heard about kayo (instead of fox sports) & we learned 2 live without the extra cost. Only have kayo & stan & our sanity, skynews was & is bad for those who want a normal & peaceful existence.

@LUFC_BULL @GavWilson Yes, but the situation is very different there. DAZN has bought Foxtel, which was once Sky's sister down under. So they are the incumbent bidding to *keep* the rights and they have a satellite network. Very different from here when DAZN is an app with tiny market share.
