Optus Sport had a high cancellation rate due to the massive price hike in the middle of last year and losing the UEFA Champions/Europa League to Stan Sport. ---

I only watched it for Spitting Image and they cancelled it late last year . There doesn’t seem to be anything on there that makes me want to resubscribe . Also wasn’t Pluto TV supposed to have launched last year?
