    @StanSportAU you are a bunch of numpties. Did you learn nothing from @Foxtel's customer complaints re: signing up for crap TV when people only want sport - enter @kayosports. In any case, all you've done is rip more money from football fans by further fragmenting coverage.

  • parawolf Ian McGinley (@parawolf) reported

    @black_scapin @LisasDays Things like kayo but you are still paying foxtel because that is just their rebranded sports streaming service.

  • DuffmanGay Gay Duffman (@DuffmanGay) reported

    @KateJoh17915076 @AustraliaPatrol @beneltham Well done! I was part of a test group of Foxtel on Campbell Parade, Bondi in 1996 (I think the year was) and then kept it for 23 years. Got rid of it in 2019 and suddenly felt like a massive weight was lifted off my shoulders. Would never have it again. You'll never look back!

  • MussRosso R o s s M. (@MussRosso) reported

    @DebSpillane The ONLY thing I miss about getting rid of Foxtel is my Cooper, Cuomo and Lemon fix on CNN

  • NnugYllas Me (@NnugYllas) reported

    @MagazineAmplify Ooh, which streamng service is it on please? (or is it foxtel only).

  • melbstormrocks 🌸 MadMelbourne 🌸 (@melbstormrocks) reported

    @Digital_kaz I have Nord, no problems. Every now and then they have specials so I have paid for a few years in advance at a really cheap rate. Until recently I only used it to watch overseas Tv but will be using it more from now on. Can’t watch Aussie tv or foxtel catch-up with it on.

  • JamesRo39688728 James Ross (@JamesRo39688728) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help my Foxtel signal has been down for more than 1hr. I’m in the suburb of glen iris

  • channelclem Clem Hall 🧢 (@channelclem) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    so I’m trying out my “one” free week trial (other markets I know have had a free month) of @paramountplus … on first look, I think Australia’s licensing is so fragmented that the true potential is not coming through… I’ve cut out Foxtel and Netflix now… so I’ll see in 7 days.

  • MorrisonTwat Munterson Inc. (@MorrisonTwat) reported

    @tchbastard Murdoch had the LNP hold us back to slow the uptake of streaming services, making more people use Foxtel

  • alancramer Alan Cramer (@alancramer) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    @ParamountPlusAU where are the live channels for MTV and Nick? You own the content and only relegate this content to Foxtel and Fetch. Plus no Network 10 tile in the app

  • dani_alyce dani smell ⚓ (@dani_alyce) reported

    @Foxtel now was not a good time to cancel my subscription due to being poor 😥😥

  • KYRUOLIO Ky//: 🌊Childe main dying in Inazuma (@KYRUOLIO) reported

    You can blame both these shows for the way i turned out lmao but i havent seen the ending of either because i didnt actually have foxtel thats another reason fjejjf my grandma was the one that had cartoon network its all id watch when i went over there And boomerang too

  • russellwsw The Real WSW (@russellwsw) reported

    @GuidoTresoldi I remember back in the day when all football was on Foxtel and all everyone did was whinge about that. The monopoly was the best thing for us as we could see it all and only need 1 service.

  • ItsJacobage Jacob (@ItsJacobage) reported

    @Foxtel CAN YOU STOP WITH YOUR CALLS OF HARRASSMENT!! YOU'VE CANCELLED MY SERVICE.. I OWE $40 AND THATS ALL. YOU ARE NOT EVEN PROVIDING ME A SERVICE OR BILLS. ONCE PAID ITS DONE. @acccgovau

  • russellwsw The Real WSW (@russellwsw) reported

    @sculls_6 What's not to love is the fact that to access Stan Sport you need to buy a base package and then add on sport, which was the issue with Foxtel for years. Stan Sport needs to be a stand alone product like Kayo or Optus sport to make it more attractive.

  • ACMilanSydney The AC Milan-Godfather (@ACMilanSydney) reported

    @gallianiswim @Milan_Fanatic @Canceratops Both cheaper than Foxtel, I pay $68 to watch Calcio and NRL, my wife uses it to tape her free to air shows. She can do that on the Fetch box, if they lose Serie A I go where I can get that and cancel others.

  • MrX___1 Mr Xander (@MrX___1) reported

    @beINSPORTS_AUS are you showing the Italian Serie A this season? Otherwise i cancel @Foxtel

  • itsrenatak Renata (@itsrenatak) reported

    I have been a long time customer for Foxtel since 1999 and when I first got Foxtel they had no adds and over time adds are plentiful and I notice they even advertise free to air channels over Foxtel too when you watch an NBA game they show so many adds in every game.

  • chrislapz chris lapham (@chrislapz) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help why isn’t it possible to record Survivor (10HD) at the same time as the Voice (7HD)? Have factory reset and tried almost everything. Mum having the same problem too!

  • tysons941 tysons94 (@tysons941) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help I really need help with The foxtel app on the Samsung Smart TV, was working fine up until today. Since the 30 second advertisements have been introduced for on Demand, none of the on Demand shows or movies work now. Nothing loads after the ads play.

  • MFWitches MFW (@MFWitches) reported

    F. … to work so he could sell Foxtel to everyone, that’s even worse. My gob is not easily smacked these days, but it is by this. People out here can’t even make calls or send texts at some times of day, systems are so antiquated and overloaded. This is a HEALTH ISSUE.

  • PipCoomes Pip Coomes (@PipCoomes) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help how do I get my app on phone to allow me to stream to a second TV in house. Can see main TV as an option but Foxtel vvvv disturbed there maybe too far from modem even though fine on a laptop. Other apps auto show this tv as stream option no issue

  • jordypepp Jordan (@jordypepp) reported

    How has @Foxtel not picked up @AEW yet?! Cmon Foxy, I don't want to get another subscription service! #AllEliteWrestling #Australia #CMPunk

  • oilsaintoils 4 million dead - get the jab! (@oilsaintoils) reported

    @lovinglimbo @2three2 @BernardGaynor you are moron read the tweet again... I never said I supported Bernard and I do not pay Foxtel fees - u fkin moron! Stop accusing people of ****- and making it up as you go That sucks - and is something we expect from Sky News!

  • raratimmar MANIAC COP 3 (@raratimmar) reported

    @Foxtel Foxtel and Rupert Murdoch can suck my ******* ****. Oh, and paying for TV *with* ads? Anyone stupid enough to fall for that scam can suck my ******* **** too.

  • GeordieCowan Geordie Cowan (@GeordieCowan) reported

    @michaelbodey @Foxtel @beINSPORTS_EN Their sport content is almost literally down to AFL and NRL. Despite having a ‘cricket’ channel, which doesn’t have much cricket.

  • SubParLover SubParLover (@SubParLover) reported

    Australian's in 2015: "$70?! Foxtel is a bloody rip off!" Australian's in 2021: *maxes out 3rd credit card to pay for your 14th streaming service*

  • thetysonjonas Tyson Jonas (@thetysonjonas) reported

    @AdamDTurk Despite being a huge sport guy, I never paid for foxtel because the idea of paying for content and still seeing ads killed me

  • Brendan11057678 Brendan Patterson (@Brendan11057678) reported

    @FoxtelTest Why is my Foxtel displaying an F0100 error code? How do I fix it
