I think most would agree with you but it ends there with foxtel, their "essentials" pack or whatever the hell they call it is garbage and to make people sign up for that just to get the sport is a deal breaker for me, no one in our house would watch any of it, oh and if thats not enough, they slug you extra for HD, no good
Certainly downsides but there's actually not much else like it worldwide where you get such a spread of content. We have four codes of football and you get every game live of AFL, NRL, Super Rugby, A League and EPL.
Add in all the US sports, ESPN, cricket tours, dedicated sports news and Motorsport channels and Sky Racing, you won't find too many services like it.
Nothing is ever perfect but for a $60 package they've done pretty bloody well. Loss of EPL is a blow but I reckon they'll have it back one day - if people refuse this extortion by Optus and let them die on the vine.
