Didn't really have anywhere to post this so will post it here as it's pretty relevant.
So after nearly 5 years of painful bull**** with Telstra I decided that when I moved about 6 weeks ago that I was going to switch to Optus internet. The house I was moving to (living with Dwyer now, for those of you who've been around CW for a while) has FTTP NBN so I thought **** it, lets do this. I've never had better than 20mbps and over the last 3 years I was stuck on 2.5mbps so the upgrade to 100mbps has been something else. First things first, the plan price much better than Telstra. Added to that, the customer service has been insanely good (which is weird cause Optus mobile customer service is atrocious).
I was initially very against Optus Sport nabbing the PL rights from Fox but I've come around. I hope they continue to nab rights from Fox so that the service becomes bigger and bigger. YesTV is great, the ********* quality is fantastic and I couldn't be happier. Cannot recommend the service enough.

Yeah the YesTV by Fetch comes for free with the plan with a free channel pack, as well as the Optus Sport subscription.

Hmm, OK. We don't have NBN yet, just have our mobile through Optus so working out if we need to pay extra to watch via TV.

The only problem with Optus having the rights really is that it puts you in a ****** situation if Optus can't be your internet provider for whatever reason. But it does sound like a nice arrangement for the most part. I think NBN is coming to my area in the next few months so maybe I'll see if Optus can be the provider.

Four Pillars & Poor Fillers still going strong? Stoneridge? must be a beast by now
This is good to hear though. I hated having to try and find a reliable stream last season. With my TPG contract up in 3 months I've decided i'll be switching to Optus because of the PL package. Will be paying the same per month with Optus as I am currently for TPG for exact same speed & downloads, plus the added bonus of the PL.

Yeah once NBN comes around they shouldn't be any reason why you can't join Optus, but your service probably won't be as good as DCYE's, the lucky ****. imo in an ideal world, Optus would have got the deal two years later than they did when more of us had NBN connected but hey
