Of the people I know, those with Singtel seem more pleased than those with M1.
Singtel and M1 support LTE on two different bands (1800 and 2600Mhz). There is a white paper somewhere that describes how Singtel has towers for both bands in most places, while M1 for some reason only puts some towers on one band, and other towers on the other band. I think they do this to combat interference from other carriers in specific locations.
It is important to note some LTE phones only support one of the two bands (1800). The iPhone 5 is one of those phones that only support LTE on 1800.* So if you have phone like that, Singtel is probably the better choice. If your phone supports both bands, M1 might be better if you find yourself in an area where M1 is using 2600Mhz for LTE.
*-Sorry , I don't know which Android phones support which bands. You'll find a lot of popular models (such as Galaxies) have multiple SKUs for various regions. They use different CPUs and GPUs even in some regions, let alone supporting various frequencies. Best advice I can give is to figure out your phone's (or the one you want to buy) actual model number/sku, and then do research to see what is supported.
