Phone Contracts

I have to disagree about Singtel MIO TV EPL comments. I think the football coverage is excellent and I have had nothing but ongoing frustration with all these other 'free' Internet services. MIO TV football is just press and watch. Look at the recently posted topic on this subject. I myriad of web site options and comments like 'poor streaming while the game is live but if you wait a couple of hours you can get HD quality'! On MIO I just watch it live, no drama, no drop out, no slow video etc etc

How many hundreds of dollars a year do you pay for this though? Given that most of the games you'd want to watch will be at 3am anyway, I can't justify paying so much for it.

Here is a third party that rates cellular coverage and data speeds of the mobile carriers.

Per their data, Singtel has the best overall coverage while M1 has the best data speeds on LTE. I suspect that is due to M1's use of more LTE channels than Singtel (at least as of when I researched it about 2 years ago)

The results are all rather close though.

But they seem completely unreliable or I just don't get the maps. I don't think there are so many areas in Singapore with no GSM coverage at all. For example, this map says my work place has no mobile coverage of any provider and I use both Starhub and Singtel without any problems over there.

I don't disagree but for me being able to watch the super Spurs live with no frustrating drop outs etc is worth it, and yes at 3am in the morning if necessary. MIO TV pricing compared to the UK services is much the same and it's cheaper than being in the UK and going to White Hart Lane frequently so I guess I can stand the cost

I probably would have paid the cost if it wasn't for the 12-month contract scam. $35/month or whatever it was was high enough, but I have to pay in the off season to watch repeats? Screw that. I just use a VPN with my Apple TV and family's US Comcast credentials now.
