Dear Premier League, please revoke the EPL rights from Optus
The issue
Dear Premier League,
Please revoke the EPL rights from Optus. They've completely ruined EPL broadcasting for people in Australia by providing horrible service. In order for Australians to have access to EPL we have to be an Optus customer and that has caused a great inconvenice for Australians as many aren't Optus customers and they have been forced to cancel their present contracts from other phone companies in order to be eligble to watch EPL. Also, the fact that the football has streamed online has been a great inconveniece as many Australians have had countless issues with Lag/Buffering which is expected as Australia has poor internet in comparison to other nations in the world. Optus also claims to show 'live' coverage even though their awful streams are 60 seconds behind from realtime whilst other people in then world are well ahead of us. This is a huge issue for people who bet on games or for those who use social media during the game and their twitter feeds would be full of goal notifications whilst we're a minute behind rest of the world which is a disgrace, even those who use free illegal streaming services are ahead of us by at least 40 seconds which is a joke. There are people in less fortunate countries who get far better LIVE coverage than us and they pay much less. The people of Australia deserve better and giving the rights to Optus has made us go backwards. Optus have made no improvements from Foxtel, if anything, they've made significant downgrades. So from the behalf of the majority of EPL followers in Australia, please revoke Optus's rights. If you want to know how badly Optus have performed, just have a look at the #OptusOut hashtag on Twitter. It trended nationwide.
