  @Old_Mate756 @Foxtel Did you fix this @old_mate756. I’ve got the same issue

  @FOXTEL_Help IQ3 box has a fault, booked for next week. Cannot stream Foxtel via chrome cast because the icon isn’t appearing in the app. Was told my account would be able to use multiroom by 11am... still no success. Contacted tech support hour ago, they said they’d call back at 130... Nada

  @Elia_Santoro I'm gobsmacked that people cannot draw the distinction between the fact that withdrawing support from a major partner (Foxtel) of the A-League in massive numbers was not going to have significant ramifications for the A-League🙄 Had this argument with some people 12 months ago.

  @samidowd @Foxtel Did the same myself last week, amazing response from their customer service team

  @sydney263 @Foxtel Not bad. Should be better but I am not complaining too much.

  @WandererAnnie @RBReich @IrritatedAuntie ****, they’ve only gone and gifted Foxtel a lazy 10 million today

  @VitoCDoria @vhatelse @beINSPORTS_AUS @SerieA_EN @Foxtel I hope these disputes mean that Serie A rights are bought by @OptusSport. To just do a blackout by @beINSPORTS_AUS is ridiculous

  @perthovalman @kevinperry @TheWorldGame @SBS @ALeague @premierleague @Craig_Foster @LucyZelic A cash-strapped FTA network does its best but has no hope of competing with Foxtel (itself scaling back football coverage in the face of its own financial woes) and Optus. I'd blame the government before pointing a finger at SBS.

  @Foxtel No I wasn’t. After two hours on the phone to account services & tech support I should be able to watch it if I can get the chrome cast on my tv to work, which it currently isn’t.

  @sandylanceley @abcnews Agree streaming will be OK but foxtel has given up on customer service, I stopped ours last week and they couldn't have given a hoot, not concerned at all to loose an 18 year customer

• 
  Lenny (@fat_lenny) reported 56 minutes ago from Newcastle, New South Wales

  @gjblue @samidowd @Foxtel Cancelled mine over 12 months ago. Customer of 15 years, all they cared about was getting their 15 year old box back. Glad to be gone

  Credit where it’s due. Thanks to @foxtel technician, Chris, who finally installed #Foxtel where I wanted it notwithstanding previous guy, Olly, not being bothered to chase cable down through wall. Shame I had to pay additional installation but happy to have it where I want it.

  @BrettGriffo I'm actually still with Foxtel (only just, on a basic + sports plan) but people have been saying for years they don't want to be paying for crap they don't watch. Worked when they had a monopoly on PayTv but the landscape has changed in recent years and they are paying the price.

  Michael With Two Y’s (@MichaelJohnsen6) reported 58 minutes ago from Newcastle, New South Wales

  Sick that @Foxtel are still charging full price even though a whole section of their service (sports package) isn’t playing what we all bought the package for. I don’t really expect much else from a company that puts ads on pay tv

  Mel (@its_me_mel_xx) reported 4 minutes ago

  I'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. 🤬🤬

  Brett Cox (@b_dog_78) reported 8 minutes ago

  @NicNegrepontis Foxtel is borderline unwatchable. Signal dropping in and out. There is no rain and not a breath of wind outside, so the “poor weather” excuse is not valid. Just a poor service all round.

  @kayosports / @Foxtel why can’t we hear the crowd with your commentary? It sounds like you’re not even there!! Absolutely terrible!! It’s ANZAC Day and we’re stuck with inferior products

• 
  Fellidd Paddmaye (@AlanBailey2) reported 9 minutes ago

  @Foxtel can someone explain to me why I can stream ANY movie on ANY streaming service no issues. I can play MMO's at 60fps, no issues. But, I cannot watch a simple game of NRL without you guys killing my viewing pleasure with 2 minutes of game time, and 5 minutes of buffering?

  Same here! WTF! @Foxtel

  Darren Beale (@DarrenBeale2) reported 13 minutes ago

  @matt__nicholls Pretty sure @Foxtel rely on many subscribers just being to lazy or not being bothered to go through process and of cancelling What other reason wouod there be for a Foxtel customer not being able to simply cancel on line ?

  I haven’t been able to record for a month, now i’ve lost all the recordings I had. Did they help? No, of course not why would they it’s not like it’s their job. **** you #Foxtel How about giving some help and care to one of your few remaining customers, or am I asking too much?
