    @s_paced @OptusSport I’m with you! I’ve paid 30$ for this crap but unsubscribed instantly .. picture quality is shockingly bad... nothing like foxtel UHD or just HD

  • normboy562 normboy562💧🐀 (@normboy562) reported

    If the ABC doesn't lift it's game then they can get ****** like the others..!! I got rid of Foxtel because of Murdoch. I do not watch Costello Stokes 10 news onesided crap, WHY has the ABC moved to be just like these others....?? #AbsoluteBullCrap..

  • LennaLeprena Lenna Leprena ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@LennaLeprena) reported

    @bruceking54 Yes, shame they're associated with Foxtel tho...I'd never get it if that was the only way I could do it..

  • superscriber Kathryn Breen Barton 😱 #WorldsGreatestShave #Bald (@superscriber) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help. Hmmm... we’re getting bill reminders. You have both our debit card details. Now it seems you’ve changed my status from primary account holder to a minion’s with no authority — the very same status my husband also has. There’s no way we can fix your billing problem.

  • ColinPSmith Colin Smith (@ColinPSmith) reported

    @Foxtel Well may you showcase Murdoch in this advertisement but even your funny caricature of him would never persuade me to subscribe to one of his businesses. Polly-want-a-Qanonacker?

  • Alllmondeville JJCOOLA (@Alllmondeville) reported

    @Foxtel Ho Elle.... Have an issue with my order of todays UFC event.. Went through troubleshooting for half an hour then told 1-2hrs wait. Finally got through to Tech help on chat and got the worst CS ive ever had.

  • kevinburfitt Kevin Burfitt (@kevinburfitt) reported

    @telstra cable nbn has been down for 10 hours, Foxtel say the cable is down, Telstra outages say 'everything is fine' and 45 minutes on online support gets to "we'll monitor for 24hrs" :-(

  • MyFirstNameIsM1 💧Change is as good as a holiday!!! (@MyFirstNameIsM1) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @Stray2617 @chriswatson1904 @QuentinDempster I answered your question but you didn't reply to mine. 'Cos I don't have a Foxtel subscription. I am more than satisfied with ABC news programs and don't fancy paying for a program that regularly demonstrates poor, inaccurate and biased journalism.

  • RafDiddy RDīddï (@RafDiddy) reported

    @Foxtel Would much rather support the #murdochroyalcommission than the trash #MurdochGutterMedia

  • Allsortssports1 Will (@Allsortssports1) reported

    Robert Whittaker pretending he’s let go of his hatred towards Izzy compounds my belief that he is super fake.. that Foxtel interview of him licking Vettori’s *** and talking down @stylebender skillset is laughable after Izzy destroyed him #UFC263

  • BarrieCarter6 Barrie Carter (@BarrieCarter6) reported

    @Foxtel Your classic movie channel is absolute **** the same movies rehashed since Moses played full back for Jerusalem

  • BarrieCarter6 Barrie Carter (@BarrieCarter6) reported

    @Foxtel So if you have been with the company for r 20 years it means nothing after all the money you have paid allegedly yet a new customer gets a special deal Will never work this logic out the loyal customer finishes last by THAT

  • jonoabroad Jono (@jonoabroad) reported

    @meCatarina I have an irrational dislike of sky from it association with Foxtel and Murdoch. Even though from what I understand NZ sky has no association. Will look at VPN solutions and see if will have me woken up at stupid o'clock for tech suppprt

  • Galvertron4 Galvaporn (@Galvertron4) reported

    @Foxtel Lol no way. Won't touch telstra. One of the worst and greediest companies out there!

  • spudatthebeach snooze ya lose (@spudatthebeach) reported

    @Foxtel People pay for this ****?!

  • Ou812tasi Michael Anastasi (@Ou812tasi) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help Hi Georgia I reset the tv and reinstalled all apps and the problem came back. It happens most times I try to watch on demand.

    @NateTaylor87 @Foxtel Do you think the boys would like it? We need something new to watch after the Breaking Bad/Better call Saul binges

  • duncan_mcgann Duncan McGann (@duncan_mcgann) reported

    @Foxtel Given that Morrison's given you $30 mill of taxpayer's bmoney, l reckon you should be giving me this service for $0!

  • johnnymetalisin john metal (@johnnymetalisin) reported

    @Foxtel as a loyal 25 years customer I dream that you collapse one day so someone else can take over and deliver better product and service. It’s my last month thankfully

  • LUFC_20 Jase (@LUFC_20) reported

    And that's enough of that. Shower time and then time for a bit of Netflix. I don't really want to be smashing another foxtel remote watching the garbage the Crows dish out. Pathetic!

  • supergrover4 Munster's Barman (@supergrover4) reported

    went to cancel foxtel today told em i am going to kayo and netflix.. got a new iq4 4k box and free HD and sport for $53 for the next 6months.. thats a little win

  • janr572 Just Jan (@janr572) reported

    Well, @Optus …. Here I am, YET AGAIN watching his pre-recorded war movies and train documentaries because THE INTERNET IS DOWN. AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES A DAY NOW. @NBN_Australia probably YOUR FAULT. @Foxtel YOU’RE NO BETTER It’s like the 1980’s in my house. Crank up the VCR

  • fangr Fang Roffo 🎗 (@fangr) reported

    @Foxtel #MurdochGutterMedia owned - damaging to society, divisive, greedy & bad value. Keep advertising this rubbish to me and I’ll keep telling you what I think of this junk service.

  • paullatter Paul Latter (@paullatter) reported

    @james_tew @kayosports_help @kayosports Did the same - copped the Ch7 ads in preference. Other option is Foxtel Now, but resolution of games broadcast live is only 720p. Negatives whichever option.

  • Alllmondeville JJCOOLA (@Alllmondeville) reported

    Wow @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help May want to have a chat to Maren in Tech cust service on Chat.. May have finally cost you a 20+ year subscriber

  • DanielCaughlan Daniel caughlan (@DanielCaughlan) reported

    @brisbanebroncos That's it I am never watching a game of NRL again I'll be ending my subscription to Foxtel Mr vlandys you have ruined NRL finally this was not a sin bin or send off how Mr Hetherington never hit him in the head he landed on Hetherington shoulder come on get a grasp of the game

  • Spi_AU Spi (@Spi_AU) reported

    It's great to see commercial free-to-air invest in Australian soccer. Downside is, like rugby, sport gets fragmented onto yet another streaming service (when 10's service becomes Paramount+ AUS). 😬 No, Foxtel/Kayo should not be a monopoly, but fragmentation also hurts.

  • Gary41938427 poppydad (@Gary41938427) reported

    @randlight Giving foxtel $20,000,000 that I know of, changing media laws making murdicks press more powerful (labor voted too, said gonna lose vote if didn't, weak excuse, NEVER vote for wrong even if lose) didn't help our freedom of press, rather murdicks reporters lose jobs than this crap

  • Spartengerm Spartengerm (@Spartengerm) reported

    @Foxtel **** the customers we’ve already got, we need more blood.
