Using a friends optus sports ID and tried running a HDMI cable to the tv and it looks putrid. Even looks pretty shit just on the laptop screen, not getting any lag or buffering, quality set to high, just looks rubbish and pixelated, any suggestions?
What a joke for the biggest sporting event in the world.

Did you do the optus thing on PC or phone?

Mine is similar. I have fine internet. It works better if I sit 20 seconds behind but for the world biggest sporting event I shouldn’t need to.
Really is a farce.

Phone/Apple TV. Current speed I’m rocking is 55/5, Netflix and other streaming stuff going no problem, just this piece of poo app. Thought it might have been because too many people are trying at once but everyone here is fine, yet I can’t keep up with everyone laying into them on their Facebook page.

Is it really Optus' fault or the fact that as a country we have terrible internet.
Thanks politicians.

How are you managing to do that? Before I could close the app and restart and I would get about 30 seconds of HD quality before it just dropped. Now I can’t even go 5 seconds.

Both are just as responsible as each other. You’d think Optus would over prepare for the World Cup of all things.

I’m running it through the Optus Sports website on a Firefox browser on a MacBook Pro with HDMI to a TV and it’s running fine.
First time I’ve tried this setup and I’m pleasantly surprised how good it actually is.
Took me half hour to work out I couldnt stream it through tv because I turned wi fi off earlier. Dumb campaigner
I was running it through google chrome on the Optus website, now the stream won't even play. This is actually a joke haha.

Optus servers can't handle a big load. Probably quite a few watching this one cos of the 10pm timeslot.
