    Uber, Airbnb, Netflix, Spotify, Global online shopping (Amazon/ebay/Temu etc); all great ideas at launch and now they're trash and akin the original solutions (or worse) - Ubers are smelly cars with grumpy drivers at least half the time. - Airbnb is just as expensive as a hotel except you check yourself in and don't have room service. - Netflix is poor content and having an array of subscriptions is more expensive than cable/foxtel was per month. - Spotify pays artists nothing, grossly over-priced and you don't own any of the music. - Online shopping is cheap but frequently products are trash and cumbersome to return/refund.

    Tried to watch #PeacemakerSeason2 on @HBO via @Foxtel and the stream quality is sheer ******* garbage. Pixelated, ****** bitrate, that looks like a 360p video shot on a mobile phone from 2005. Maybe instead of rebranding every year they should invest in their tech stack.

    @RobertTyreMarks @Foxtel The new CMT is utter ****!

    @Tank9999 @AustralianLabor The LNP party room hated the idea of the #NBN because it would hurt Telstra and show that selling it off as a single entity was stupid. And they had to try and protect foxtel from the streaming platforms. Turnbull invested his own money into fttp rollouts in Europe.

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports ‘Mutual agreement’ is quite believable, it’s obviously a player attitude issue that O’Brien obviously doesn’t have the answers for. He looked over it.

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Poor. Below par win rate ( 43%), uninspiring when interviewed, can’t see how players would engage with his negative disposition. That Newcastle chose him & stuck with him for 6 years is the real issue.

    Debt collection response….. #Telstra #foxtel To whom it may concern, cc: CEO Your Ref: 98209489 I received a “Notice of Assignment of Debt” (in big red font) regarding an alleged Foxtel debt of $414.38. I am writing to advise you that you may have purchased a defective debt when you bought this debt parcel from Foxtel. Let me explain……. When Foxtel first launched in Australia it was with much fanfare, the Packers, the Murdochs and Telstra united to create a great company, Newcorp and then Channel 9 under the Packers, would supply content and Telstra would provide the infrastructure and roll out which would also double as a backbone for the then Bigpond internet product which would force consumers onto their network due to access to the infrastructure. Smart! As time went on and management changed, they started to consider liquidating their stakes. It also made sense that Telstra be a reseller of the Foxtel product. So in circa 2009 moved into a new house, in leafy Malvern, Victoria. Given you’re based in Sydney, I would think it's akin to Turramurra in vibe. I digress. At this time, I owned a few race horses and was right into the AFL. So true to the intent of the duopoly (Forgot to mention Optus Cable - thats a whole other story) and signed up for a trifecta bundle. Home phone, Foxtel and Bigpond, exactly as the Gods at Telstra had planned. The Foxtel component of my monthly bill was, say $130.00. I remained on this bundle until I moved out of the home in early 2024. Anyway, I use this milestone as a pretty precise date for when I could approximate my turning off certain services.  So at around this time, Telstra ceased becoming a reseller of Foxtel and ported its accounts across to Foxtel. This is where it starts to get interesting. Let's assume some upstart Associate at a Tier 1 Law firm sat in a meeting trying to work out a bit of leverage in the transition of these accounts. So, said Associate, a couple of blokes in Navy suits and cufflinks from a Tier 1 merchant bank/corporate advisory, all decide over assorted sandwich triangles or maybe a sushi platter, to put some KPI’s on the transition.  The Einsteins with the pocket handkerchiefs came up with a minimum and maximum for all sorts of metrics. The most important would be ‘account churn’ on the transition. Somewhere along the way, the Gods at Telstra saw their KPI was looking shaky, so they just started moving accounts, and here's the rub, when they did that, they didn't tell the customers!  Next bill comes in and it's from Foxtel! I think nothing of it because it's still ******* with Telstra. The bill had gone from $130 per month to $400 plus per month. So I jumped straight on the phone to Telstra and ask WTF! They inform me that there's nothing they can do because it's now controlled directly by Foxtel. So, logically, I call Foxtel, who have the worst hold music known to man, and speak to them, saying I received a substantial bill and asking why it changed.  They said, well, cause the package you were on no longer exists, cause it was a Telstra product, so now you’re on a Foxtel product! I said “well cancel the subscription.” They said, we need you to clear the account.  This is where the peculiar and circular stupidity magnifies. The Americans like to say ‘getting wrapped around the axel”. Basically, my account shuffled between two elephants, process inefficient, corporate disappointments. And as a lowly businessman, who has seen inside both these companies over 20+ years, am relegated to the ping pong of ownership. CEO, I copied you on this as I think it's fair to say there would be a bunch of these accounts in the parcel you bought, so I hope you paid f#%k all in the dollar for them.   1/2

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports No thanks…. For what? More stupid repetitive Galvin/Gus/Bulldogs talk especially with crinkle cut face Crawls on the desk!

    @Katzo60 @BigOtrivia @codenrl I agree with you on this one Alan re Foxtel. I could go on for ages about how bad their coverage is. Compare NRL360 to AFL360 for a start. Matty Johns Show, Fletch & Hindy plus much more. All bad for the game.
