one star is too many
This is truly the most appalling streaming service out there. Everything buffers continuously, yet I have a internet cable speed of 100mbs. Play through my LG smart Tv which is hard wired to modem, so speed ain't the issue...Foxtel is the issue. Foxtel hurry up and bury yourself.
You don't belong in the game any longer, so just leave it to the performers who can stream properly.

Past 6pm all it does it buffer
Foxtel now has plenty of shows however past 6pm always buffers and makes it in watchable I have a good internet bundle and other apps like Netflix and Stan never have a issue. $104 a month for a buffering service is a joke

Foxtel now is a waste of.money
We pay $104 per month, iuts constantly buffering, cutting out, and we pay to turn it off for long periods. Foxtel take no responsibility but we have a fast and strong internet coverage. We don't recommend this morning service at all

An absolute joke, nothing but greed
I pay just short of $50 a month for my account and any on demand movie has a 30 second ad standard. What an absolute joke I pay nearly 3 times the amount for the movie option than what Netflix costs and I’m forced to watch ads? Live Tv I can understand but imagine opening Netflix which you pay for to have to watch a 30 second ad each and every time. I will never support or allow them to play but the trick is after refereeing 50+ times it gives way and doesn’t show any ads. If I wasn’t paying $29 and it was free then sure ads are fine but I pay money for this... rubbish.

NO SERVICE
I have been trying since November 2022 to have a technical problem fixed. My sound on foxtel keeps getting out of sync with the picture. This can be temporarily rectified by turning off the box for about 10 seconds then turning it back on. It then gets more and more out of sync until you have to repeat the oeration. great viewing eh. I have contacted technical services about 5 times. They try to rectify the problem and it seems to work for 10 minutes or so then back to the crap service. Each time I contact then=m they do the same thing even tho...Read more
ugh I tell them it has been done before. They then do something and tell me to contact them again if it doesn't work which is what I tell them when I ring them. I paying for a service which is unuseable. I don't have the problem if I switch to free to air. Have been sent a new cable from foxtel and that made no difference. One of the operators said he could get a new box to me in about a month maybe. When I asked accounts for a refund on my subscription al he wanted to tell me that they had added some extra movie (i am foxtel primarily for the Rugby League) so not impressed. I can't watch them any way. Can any one tell me how to get some service from these people. At present I am about to cancel foxtel-only reason not to do so is that the football MAY come back. And today one of the phone people wanted to blame the hold up on the Corona virus. PLEASE is there any on e out there in Foxtel that can give me some service without wasting my time. I've waited 5 months and paid for 5 months. Please give me a call on 0448997285Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Pathetic, Rubbish, Intolerable - What a joke
Foxtel, I can't wait until you go out of business. In today's age, distributors have so many options and in the world of Netflix, Stan, Amazon and Disney, your value proposition is for only that of sports. Do the industry a favour and go where the sun doesn't shine, you are no longer benefiting your remaining customers first

Expensive, 20 sec Ads, missing episodes
I signed up wanting to watch Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens but only realised there's 4 episodes out of 9 from season 1 - streaming rights issue.
After watching two episodes, there was a 20 sec ad. what the hell, paid subscription shouldn't even have ads. Disappointed with this service.

Foxtel now crap streaming
Foxtel have the most pathetic streaming quality.
They lie constantly about the reasons, if it's an over busy internet at the moment why can I stream a 4k movie on my Xbox one x from Microsoft perfectly.
Stop the crap Foxtel and give us what we pay you for.

Easy to use, but not worth the price tag
We received a year of free Foxtel Now with a new phone purchase. During the free trial, we noticed Foxtel tends to buffer a lot compared to other streaming services (Netflix & Stan), that do not buffer at all! Once the free trail had finished, we decided to keep if for one more month, but even with the $25 price tag it just wasn't worth it. Unfortunately Foxtel has many, many, adds that run through the shows, as well as shows running at certain times that you can't watch again later. This paired with its limited library, just made it not worth it for us when other streaming services offer so much more for a fraction of the cost.

Simply Awful
Give yourself at least 5-10 minutes to fire these Foxtel Now boxes up. They are that bad. Buggy, slow, unreliable, freeze regularly etc. Etc I'm convinced Foxtel inflict these abominations on the public so that they will turn to paying extra for the full foxtel service. Avoid like Corona Virus!

Rip off hangs and crashes all the time
Basic package is $25 per month, plus various to get drama etc.
Beware you can't add on doco's without paying $104 per month for everything.
The product hangs and crashes a lot.
Back to the Spoke TV box for Netflix.
Phoned tech support and complained about price of docos however the outsourced overseas call centre are pathetic and obviously cheap for Their news Corp master's.
Selling the box on eBay soon

Foxtel believes that it’s okay to take money from people without providing an adequate service. Every decision they make centres around how to make more money. So with foxtel now, which a lot of good shows have been dredged into, you have delayed lags and crap outdated streaming. You can’t skip credits and it buffers like you’re back in 1998. As others suggest, it’s clearly a ploy to drive their customers back to a dinosaur cable service where they can force us to watch commercials. Money money money money money for foxtel!!!
Hopefully HBO dist...Read more

Beware of their automated credit card charge
I cancelled and got a confirmation email that it was successfully cancelled and still being charged for it every month for 3 months after the cancellation.
My advice is to call your credit card provider and tell them to block Foxtel.
The reason I cancelled because of the contstant buffering issues. Not worth your money.

Moving Popular Package Foxtel Now Television Shows, To Fox Branded Channels In Drama Package To Increase Price.
Moving to a location where Foxtel Cable didn't service I got all IPTV services including Presto before it changed to Foxtel Play even though it was in SD quality I kept the service even when they changed it over to it's current Foxtel Now format and took off several Foxtel channels. With this recent rebranding of 13th Street. SYFY Channel, TV HITS, Triple 111, Showcase, Movie Network Channels, etc To Fox Sleuth. Fox Sci-Fi, Fox Showcase, Fox Funny, Fox Crime, Fox Movies, etc for these pay channels to be all removed off another consumer affordab...Read more
le IPTV services I am also a subscriber to, by fully rebranding them exclusively as Fox channels. Besides doing this to millions of IPTV service customers who have no to access to Foxtel cable except through Foxtel Now IPTV that consumer costs are three times more than all other Australian IPTV and streaming services. Also without any notice to Foxtel Now subscribers, as myself Foxtel moved many popular shows from Fox Showcase, Arena and other popular package channels as Flack, Pose, Blacklist, The X-Files, also daily soaps as Days Of Our Lives, Young and the Restless. Shortland Street, Sex In The City, etc. To these Fox rebranded channels in their drama package, and key blocked them from Popular package subscribers. As a way to make me and other Foxtel Now popular packages subscribers pay an extra ten dollars price hike increase on my current Foxtel Now monthly subscription to continue to watch these shows. With this price jump from $45 to $55 dollars a month costing me an additional $120 a year for an IPTV Chromecast service, I can't series set, record, store shows or have access to pay for view movies in Foxtel store or to book pay for view sports, it is very expensive. Foxtel should have at least added their basic branded Fox Classics channel, and Aurora community TV to make this $120 dollars a year increase to Foxtel Now customers by moving shows to monthly pay ten dollars extra worth it. Personally, with working in the Australian film television and video post-production industry for 30 years and having cable television just as long in Australia, New Zealand, UK, and the United States. After a month of viewing, the new rebranded Fox Sci-Fi, Fox Sleuth, Fox Crime, and Fox One, they are very disappointing as pay channels. As well none of these channels have any Australian content like Prisoner, Water Rats, Blue Healers, Underbelly, etc or original SYFY series Irwin Allen shows as The Time Tunnel, Land of the Giants, Lost in Space or Australian SYFY shows like Farscape, Glitch, etc or weekend SYFY channel movies or discovery and Oxygen channel crime drama shows, The Munsters, The Addams Family, or Australian comedy Fast Forward, etc to be popular, fandom or cult watch as being high viewer rated all Australian Fox rebranded channels that people would subscribe to. Honestly, these Fox rebranded channels are pathetic no different than any of the subchannels on Australian Freeview TV with exactly the same several times repeated CSI, Star Trek Voyager, Charmed, Hawaii 50, etc TV shows except I'm paying for it. Just to be able to live or on-demand watch my favorite popular package shows and series I had been watching on the popular package subscription for years. Foxtel Now blocked and moved to their Fox rebranded channels in their drama package.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

How dare greedy Fox remove our rights to free to air HD channels, ie. 9HD . This should be illegal and everyone should be shouting this out and dropping Foxtel all over the place. We are not an unsophisticated society, where a hell bent desperate and greedy company try to charge for a channel they have no right to. I will be dropping Fox!

But your whinge is not a question.
My complaint should be answered properly. Not by some smart people from Foxtel being totally unprofessional with that benign answer. There are many complaints needing solution or answers. Where are your suggestions to fix what I have pointed out clearly.
