The Daily Telegraph
OPTUS has revealed the pricing information for its English Premier League streaming services next season — and fans are not happy.
If you want to watch every game of the 2016/17 EPL season you are going to be locked in to joining the Optus network with a current mobile, broadband or Yes TV subscription required for access.
Subscriptions will be available for $15 per month on top of the cost of your mobile subscription, or will be included free for plans valued at $85 per month and above.
The minimum subscription available is $40 per month, and with new subcribers locked in for 24 months the minimum outlay for football fans over the two year period is **$1320.**
Fans who want a <big>big-screen solution</bigwill be forced to outlay **<big>$2160 over 24 months for Optus’s Fetch TV service.</big>**
Having paid over $50 million to secure the rights to the most popular football league in the world, the Telco has gambled on the devotion of EPL fans to recoup the hefty sum … and early indications are not good for Optus:

Optus paving the way for you and your mates to crowd around a 5 inch screen to watch the Merseyside Derby is the greatest thing in sport!....
I can picture happy FT and hobbo around a 5 inch... :laughing:
Premier League games are played on a different schedule than Sky Bet League 1
So it will be just Hobbo and I
And I can't see Hobbo recovering from his teams choke anytime soon :crazy
In the Dungeon with the padded cells , PS Hobbo Buckets has asked me to ask you to stop ringing him to deliver beer and pizzas
He only feeds Wests Tigers losers , not Tottenham losers :laughing:
