Look, it's kinda weird to have the leader of the country step in over an issue like this, but it comes after considerable pressure from a high amount of vocal users angry at buffering and playback issues during games — plus, it's a pretty good way to up your approval rating.
The full rights to the World Cup in Australia were previously held by television network SBS, who primarily aired games via terrestrial broadcast (a.k.a. through your TV's antenna).
Optus Sport uses the internet to stream games, and users have complained online about errors when trying to watch the event.

Optus said in a statement on Sunday that some viewers had experienced issues, and that it was working on improving the experience.
"Optus did not identify any issues with our own network last night on the live stream," the statement read.
"However, some customers who watched the match on the Optus Sport app, on certain devices through other telco networks, experienced buffering issues.
"Optus has taken actions that are within our own control to improve the experience of these customers. As a result of these actions incidences of buffering reduced significantly during the course of the night to low levels.
"We believe the vast majority of viewers were not impacted and had a good viewing experience."
Fans will just have to wait and see about that.
