NFL NFL Gamepass

Some locations around the world don't get 1080p tho, and some features are missing like ALL-22 etc.

Same features for all countries, and no one gets gamepass in 1080p.

my bad, tho this graphic explains the Indonesian/Egypt/etc ones, you get a cheaper price but an unstable connection/stream.

Connected my vpn to Indonesia & had a look at the gamepass site, quoting me $124.99us/$180au, connected to Australia & the quote is $274.99au, Chile $199.99us, Vietnam $124.99us, Turkey $175us, South Africa $199.99us, Singapore $199.99us

So we only need to sign up while on holiday in Bali instead of going all the way to Bogota?

Get what you're laying down now, I assume though that those that subbed through Columbia last year & watched here in Oz didn't have connection issues? Meaning they get the Australian server feed?

unstable/unreliable connection....this means that you are the lowest priority customer, like they do with mobile plans thru subsidiary companies that use the the connections of the big companies like Telstra/Optus....it's the same thing. In other words, on actual gameday, redzone live, live streaming, when there's a TON of people online at the same time, people in Indonesia/etc are going to suffer intermittent lag and buffering issues. Because your bandwidth is being bottled in favor for the people in the more densely NFL following countries who paid a higher price (australia/mexico/etc). We'll have a bigger bandwidth, or higher priority. EVEN if you signed up via VPN to Indonesia and THEN using your normal Australian ISP....as a customer, behind the scenes, the technical admin side of things, your account will have a bandwidth limit or lower priority.

But post-game, or nights when there's not a lot of people online from the US/Canada/UK/etc, you'll get a good stream/connection, because those higher priority people aren't online.

It would be most appreciated if those that signed up cheap last year can let us know if they had quality issues with their connections.

I know Wizard was often complaining last year about his connection, and he was the one who bought the cheap ColOmbian one.

I don't think that's the case. Once you start the stream it doesn't matter where you signed up from only where you're watching from. They're not gonna throttle your individual account, I don't even think they could do that. It just depends which server you're connecting to when you start the stream which will be the same for me whether I sign up from Australia or Indonesia.

This is my thinking as well.

The graphic above is from last year & I cant find a current version of it on their site, all they have to say about different pricing is -

Why are prices different in different countries?
Subscription pricing may differ in each country depending on a number of factors, including licensing restrictions, local legal regulations, market type, country and previous subscription plans being no longer available.
2019 subscriptions are available to purchase in all NFL Game Pass countries and territories.

& you subbed through Columbia but watched using an Aus IP address?

 

[Macpotata]

auto renewal thieving campaigners. Beware if you don't want to re-purchase. NBA are a bunch of thieving campaigners as well.


What? what you gonna do?

[Demonic Ascent]

I won't be watching live very often so as long as on demand works fine I'll have no problems

Don't worry mate, i have no idea what GG is talking about. I think he has mistaken me with someone else as i never had any issues like he is stating above.

Last year i paid $124.99 USD which converted to $171.62 AUD through VPN in India. No issues with quality and was able to watch everything without having to switch back to the Indian address.

HD quality?

 

[bgt2110]

HD quality?

Quality was not as good as foxtel/7mate but i use gamepass mainly on the ipad to and from work and the PC at lunchtime whilst at work. The quality was fine on those and i didn't have any complaints but as mentioned the Foxtel/7mate quality was better when i was watching the tv but that could just be my internet.
