Watch AFL from overseas

[Jivlain]

I wanted to bump this thread. Has anyone noticed that the WatchAFL app when overseas uses a truckload of data. I mean I'm talking I watched Port V Carlton and the game took somewhere around 6-7 GB only watching live play and skipping the breaks. Couldn't believe it.

There are times when you just can't access WiFi, and so I've been using a phone SIM I got in Italy with 10GB of data available across the whole of the EU, and if I watch a game it takes basically all my data. In Oz I always found the AFL Live app would use no more than maybe 500Mb-1Gb for an entire game.

It didn’t at the start of the year but it would be unsurprising if they have broken something.

Yeah if i download a game it is much smaller, but i want to watch it live, not on download delay.

The stream quality automatically adjusts to your mobile internet speed, so maybe try to use 3g instead of 4g? Might help a bit....
