I am set to start my MSML on oct 1 and will need to accelerate, does anyone know if any class materials are available online or anywhere? That way once oct1 comes i'll be pretty well read on the first 1 or 2 courses?

I was told recently by an Advisor there that they no longer allow people to read class materials and prepare before their start date anymore. Is that the case? I ask because from your post it would appear that you're not able to do that, unless your start date is so far out that you're not inside the time table that would allow you do to it.

WGU doesn't provide their course materials in advance. They used to allow you to start accessing course materials as soon as you finished your orientation courses (which begin on the 15th of the month prior to your first term's start date). But this is not supported any longer due to changes in licensing, etc.
As a FYI, it is technically a violation of the school's academic integrity code for any current or former student to provide old course materials or notes to anyone. You can get quite a bit of information about class makeup and good study materials from Reddit and Facebook groups. Assuming they don't share actual course materials that is fine.
That said, even if you had access to specific course materials, I would encourage you not to spend too much time on it since the course materials and assignments change on a regular basis. Many are updated annually or more. So you may end up studying for things that are no longer covered or miss studying for things that are.
