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.

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.

I’m pretty sure circles life does no contract plans. They have one that’s $20 for unlimited data, so you should definitely check that out.
