Terrible experience

Expensive. Better to get streaming. More choices. Packages can be expensive and you dunt want evergthing in the packages sometimes. On the phone is ok. When I was cancelling the offer give a discount.

Poor service, big company

published

3rd month having issues with recording shows on Foxtel. Have to wait for 10 minutes, then when u do talk to some one. They never resolve issue and keep repeating them self, hard to understand. Missing out on whole series. Think we have taped things, then it says it is not taped. Series link used to be so simple. Will be cancelling Foxtel, already have Netflix, has a lot more to choose from and dont get repeats all the time. Looking at KAYO, a lot better for sports, and you tube app.

Worst company

CONSTANTLY overcharged my account. I had to put notifications on all my transactions to make sure they were charging me properly. Disgusting company and worst customer service ever. This a scam of a company.

Foxtel Cable - No longer

published

My Foxtel cable is no longer working and Telstra Foxtel told me it is because NBN has taken over their cables and as such NBN are not maintaining Foxtel cable. Hey what about telling the australian public that not only that NBN affect phone and internet but Foxtel as well. Took over 6 months for Telstra to get me satelitte as they kept sending out technicians and replaced the box 3 times but the issue was I was not getting signal to the pit.

You took out Eurosport, I cancelled my subscription

You took out Eurosport from your channels, the only channel I had Foxtel for.

Ads!!!

published

I got foxtel thinking it might be worth the money, but unfortunately foxtel is terrible, repeats, removing channels and ads and more ads and more ads, so many ads my brain hurts. They show more ads than free to air television and i pay for this, will be cancelling asap.

Taking away syfy, and discovery science!

published

Why would you take away discovery science to put up another network dedicated to murder. This is asinine, first you take away the actual syfy channel to play reruns that are older then my kids, over and over again. Their are way to many of us that actually like science. You charge us enough to give us an actual science format. This is unacceptable. I know you don't really give a damn, but you will, you are not the only game in town any longer. Your format sucks... constantly taking away those things we find most enjoyable.

Terrible Service

published

the foxtel service is terrible. It Took me more than half a day to close off foxtel account attached to my Telstra account and the only way was to pay the account even though I did not authorize the account and never used it. You have to watch out the Foxtel and Telstra combined service.
I never used foxtel and highly recommend others not to.

NO STARS FOR NONE PERFORMING FOXTEL

published

been with Foxtel for 12 years. On the platinum package. A total waste of time and money.
Bad signal, Poor support and just so many channels with no value.
Time to move on to the streaming services available, at a fraction of the cost.
What's so amazing, it took a total of 30 minutes to get someone to understand that I do not want this Foxtel service and to disconnect my service. They tried to upsell the same package at a cheap price. What kind of business do you run. Ridiculous.

No compassion

published

Terrible customer service by Foxtel! The company has no compassion and is totally unethical. Please lift your game and stop treating your customers so appallingly. Would not recommend at all.

-5 stars for sucky service

published

I could give negative stars, but can’t. The Offers and services are extremely confusing and keeps fluctuating with no proper communication.
The customer service in Phillipines is just pure and sheer incompetence! They have no comprehension of their own products. Looks like they employ robots that can do 1 or 2 things. Absolutely no problem solving skills, something that is crucial for customer service.

Will never recommend Foxtel to anyone.

Going down hill fast

published

I’ve been with Foxtel for over 20 years but it was getting more and more frustrating. My internet modem was in another room so I couldn't easily connect and access On Demand programs. Wifi would have done the trick but IQ3 doesn't have wifi. And no I didn't want an IQ4 satellite (with wifi) as an alternative. Or I could have used Chromecast from Foxtel Go - but unlike everyone else Foxtel charges extra for Chromecast.

Anyway, there are now so many alternative and cheaper ways to get content.

The final straw for me was when they wouldn’t offer me the same deal they were offering new subscribers. So much for loyalty. So I unsubscribed.

If I could give 0 stars I would.

Have been very dissatisfied with Foxtel from beginning. Late to connect service, TV drops out. Wifi was useless and it got to the point we were sick of calling so just used our mobile phone data. Poor customer service. Continued to withdraw money from account even after cancellation a month prior. Sent the modem back as requested and was still charged the following month.

No more Eurosport on Foxtel

published

You pay a $117 a month and a million adds and Foxtel can just remove channels to suit them selves.Rip Eurosport channel. Why not consult customers and see what they would like,not Foxtels back pocket.

Yep. I am also disillusioned with their service levels (having been a Customer since their 1st year in Australia) and am considering cancelling my services (2 outlets). You do look to have been overcharged and should put the hard word on them. If they think that you are going to cancel then they may come to the party.

Kevin Holden

Hi Murph
It is impossible to talk to anyone as their whole call centre is down.
No matter how you try and contact them soon as you mention the dreaded C word (CANCEL) you can't get any further,
Another interesting thing after a bit of research is that I found I am actually paying for their service monthly in advance and even if you miss the payment date by even a day they hit you with up to a $30 penalty on top of your bill.
How is it possible to be penalised for a service that you are yet to receive ( Possibly unlawful)
Would love to hear from anyone else who has realised that this is happening.

tried the same thing - mentioned cancel and that was the last comms. going to stop the payments at the bank end and even while I am on contract I dont feel that they are in a position to get nasty when they cant provide the sports package I am paying for - they are acting unconscionably

Justin P.

Justin P.asked

So I log onto foxtel to change my package and it won't let me cause it goes to a failed webpage. I try to call through and there is no call centre.. I can't email you apart from this site and I can't log on an suspend my service or cancel it... Seems like you are do everything you can to keep my money....

Hi Justin P I have had the same experience blocked in every direction that I have tried to get my issue resolved. Calling their 132200 number for help is useless
