FOXTEL Outage in Morisset East, Lake Macquarie Shire, State of New South Wales

Look I know we all liked to watch the @aleaguemen on mute when it was on Foxtel but come on @ParamountPlusAU wtf is going on? #WSWvNEW

Seriously WTF @Foxtel! I have @SkyNewsAust on to hear the news, yet every couple of hours, and normally when it’s really important I get either kicked off or the ‘are you still there’ message. I pay for this service, and it is your job to provide it. Fix it!

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.

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

@FOXTEL_Help I have an existing IQ box but am a new customer. Are the packages different of I have a box already? Or is the set up fee waived?

@KirstinLewis25 @FOXTEL_Help Me too! WTF @FOXTEL_Help why can’t you get it to just work!

Didn't we have anti-siphoning laws in this country that ensured sport would be televised on free to air? Which Lying Naturally Party Arsehole made sure their mate @Foxtel got the @CricketAus ODI's? Our country is going to **** at the behest of #ScottyFromMarketing & his mates

@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

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

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

@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

@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

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

Might be time to finally cancel my @Foxtel subscription. As a long term loyal customer I’m sick of seeing all these specials to get new customers but nothing for us saps paying top package, still on IQ2 & paying for Netflix on top. Losing my job shortly so looks like it’s time.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@Cummins7Robert @SBSNews @ScottMorrisonMP The LNP is just being the attack dog controllers for Murdoch. Murdoch and his father were and still are hell bent on killing off the ABC and anyone not on their payroll. Look who is pulling the strings. The LNP did similar shit for FOXTEL by stuffing the NBN to make Netflix bad.

Wondering how many other people are unable to search and watch movies using @foxtel IQ3 when have movie pack. Results only show in HD and we don’t have HD. Time to go to #TIO I think as after almost two hours I’m told it’s been a known issue for several months.

Thoughts please people. Close family member from central QLD tells me she has signed up for Foxtel as free to air tv reception there has become so bad it is unwatchable. Has there been active defunding of transmitters, forcing regional viewers to paid entertainment and um ‘news’?

@FOXTEL_Help @Foxtel Trying to activate an IQ5 box. Call support line only to be told you have encountered an error and then cut the phone line! Online support useless.

@FOXTEL_Help I've been able to save each bill from the PDF links, but it's still something you'll need to fix..

@JockeyPong Foxtel is behind paywall. If you cant link to a free stream online for what you want, I can't help sorry. I am already using the sky racing streams

@Sophie_Dayman Maybe a move to channel 9 would pay off. 7 must be broke if they can't find technology that works. Foxtel you can throw in there as well. Got rid of that with all the bias and terrible show targeting Victorian viewers.

@Colvick @AAA_Squibby @rob_mcknight BBL is still watched by a strong audience. The problem is the vkewership is split between 3 broadcasters Seven, Foxtel and Kayo. That makes it impossible for any of them to capitalise on it. If someone got exclusive rights for reasonable price. They would do well.

@ayden_5_ The question is how did it get down there again. I never expect to commentator to say in unison the umpire have influenced the game but the Foxtel crew, a lions legend Leigh Matthew’s have all said the same thing. Did you hear Leigh?

My housemate just went through the "fun" of trying to cancel a Foxtel account. She had to work her way through two staff begging her to take a deal, even needing me to join at one point to say "we don't want deals, we just want to cancel! We're already with another service"

@FlemishDog too bad Larry Sanders and Dream On did not last long in prime time on Ten, they were both pulled after three weeks and later that year Dream On returned to a late Saturday night timeslot. Larry Sanders was flogged off to Foxtel where it got shown from beginning to end.

@Telstra Not yet but happy to - what is best way to contact them? The only advice we have had is from Foxtel who advised of an unplanned outage but said it may not be resolved for 24 hours - that doesn’t work for me if I can’t work effectively and efficiently in the meantime
