FOXTEL Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Benny™ (@bennyspursau) reported@onepercentas @Jonesracing82 Constantly jittering. Ridiculous to suggest Internet is the issue. Have no issue streaming live EPL or even live sport on Foxtel app. Yet Kayo constantly jitters and stutters.
-
LRS (@semplificato) reported@DStyleBoxing MR would of resigned Opetaia, especially with Foxtel deal in play, poor timing, Jai on Foxtel would of been perfect for both. Mick Francis months ago said MR did not deliver unification, they were moving on, see if someone could deliver, Francis kept on mentioning Turki promises
-
RationalMan74 (@RationalMan74) reported@onepercentas Why does it even exist? Why do Foxtel not simply offer a sports only package? Why does it seem to run off different tech to the Foxtel app which has zero issues?
-
NotoriousCYP (@NotoriousCYP) reportedSo what channel am I supposed to watch New Zealand vs South Africa on? Wtf am I paying for? @FoxCricket @Foxtel @FOXTEL_Help #cricketlikeneverbefore

ash 🦕 (@lovronolastname) reported@tresantes omg this reminds me of how for like 2 years my dad would pay for foxtel specifically when game of thrones was airing and then cancel it until eventually he gave up and started pirating it 😭

PVO (@vanOnselenP) reportedI watch almost zero free-to-air tv these days, but had to watch 9 NRL tonight bc my Foxtel was down. It’s almost unwatchable compared to Foxtel. The call was good enough, but the commentary was mind numbing. Despite the pedigree of those doing it. Surprisingly bad!
-
FixTechStuff 🛠️ (@FixTechStuff1) reported@purplepingers The hole for the Foxtel cable was likely drilled through the channel in the roof iron so water drips down when it rains. Happened with my satellite internet, 30 mins after installers left there was a downpour and a literal torrent of water poured out the wall plate into the modem
-
Brian de Groot (@BriandeGroot7) reported@LachlanJeffery Whats Kayo costing these days? Because its pretty good to know what Foxtel will let you pay when you threaten to cancel
-
jaimee ⁸ ¹ ⭑ (@E8M1AJ) reportedi 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!
-
jason quealey (@jq1970) reported@nrlphysio @kayosports This is why I kept the @Foxtel box and avoid the poor service you get with streaming
-
Cats_Can_Trade (@CatsTrade) reported@Michael94858047 I ditched Foxtel at least 10 years ago. Never again!

J (OAM) (@bigchefjay) reported@onepercentas Was told by @Foxtel employee, when i wanted to go to @kayosports , that it would be a stupid idea for 2 reasons 1)they can reduce my bill by 50% just coz I threatened to leave 2)kayo is an inferior product,prone to drama, owned by foxtel to "appease the tightarses" end quote.

Greg1956 (@Greg19562) reported@KatyKray73 I pay for foxtel but their news is on there. I want it ****** off and a discount thanks. In other words **** off you dog!

cayley⁷🏒 (@ccaynucks) reportedthere’s an ad for yoplait playing on foxtel atm and i already find it annoying but sometimes it plays 3 TIMES IN A ROW and i’m genuinely thinking ill never be able to eat yoplait again it makes me so angry
-
Mel (@its_me_mel_xx) reportedI'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. 🤬🤬

Miles (@Michael1953_202) reported@Telstra New NBN, wanted Foxtel, bought Fetch. But Fetch can’t get Foxtel, can’t cancel, no refund no return, throw the Fetch box in the bin, or they said “they would recycle it responsibly”. Now I want some real science, an energy balance not virtue signalling .

ralph horowitz (@rtralphy) reportedConfident prediction The price of Foxtel and Kayo will spike considerably, and it will be justified based on the government gambling ads crackdown Quinella: Never waste a crisis into law of unintended consequences GR 👍
-
harleyw (@harleywattsconn) reported@ThoughtVacancy @wayne_kag @AlboMP It is a problem and it bloody well exists!!! Ever tried cancelling Optus Sport, BigPond Broadband or Foxtel? Try listening to Optus's "give me the simple life" hold music for 2 hours.
-
FBDonkey (@FBDonkey) reported@onepercentas When travelling in my caravan all my streaming platforms would work with a low internet signal except for one... KAYO. It's like they deliberately make it bad so that people sign up for Foxtel
-
Lin♪P!nkOz♬💙 #THREADS aussielin (@LinAussie) reported@ump21 @MWL152 Get foxtel. No issues whatsoever plus heaps of other channels.
-
Michael Wilde (@michael_wilde1) reported@myco54896926 @Blazebit9 @RealEmirHan Unfortunately Foxtel (Murdoch's) had the exclusive rights in my country at the time and it looked **** and you couldn't even buy it from someone like Apple until a year later and it was only in HD. I had to buy the last season on an Ultra HD Bluray. Then i could appreciated it
-
Paul Christie (@007paulchristie) reported@Foxtel your so called free HBO MAX app is the worst, adverts through every program, glitching constantly.abd we have the pleasure of paying extra to get the decent version. What a con job on all Foxtel customers who had these shows previously as part of their subscription.
-
David Whitehead (@Whitehead13D) reported@kayosports @kayosports_help Foxtel is looking really good with no service and then need to sign into my own tv. Not good enough! I pay for the service and don’t need to sign in all the time, pathetic.
-
Lebowski (@spagettihous) reported@Michael94858047 Time to cancel @Foxtel
-
MRK (@StickStick07) reported@mitchellnash92 Will cancel my foxtel subscription because I will have no joy in watching the midweek shows this year.
