'It's mindboggling that our neighbours up north can pay RM80 ($24) to watch it in 4K HDR,' wrote one netizen, making reference to the football coverage in Malaysia.

“It’s mindboggling that our neighbours up north can pay RM80 to watch it in 4K HDR,” wrote one netizen, making reference to the football coverage in Malaysia.

“Even from yesterday’s free match on Channel 5, it took them 20 minutes to show the “QAT V ECU” and the scoreline,” wrote another. “Then it took them another 20 minutes to figure out how to put the elapsed time next to that. Amazing production value for $98-118.” Another made a comparison between this year and years past, saying, “It’s already an improvement. Last EURO there matches which were only in 720p.” One netizen expressed how they think it is ironic that Singapore is known for its high bandwidth for streaming. “The irony is we have the best infrastructure for high bandwidth streaming nationwide,” the person wrote.
