Singaporeans cannot afford Netflix but they can afford fiber broadband subscriptions, post paid mobile phone subscriptions, and for some, expensive monthly gym memberships.

Steve5380 Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 I have a subscription to Amazon's Prime (because I buy a lot of stuff from them) They offer free movies, without commercials or other stuff, many more gay ones than I am willing to watch. Recently I started watching their old episodes of "Murder she Wrote" when I want to kill time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyan Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Netflix allowed up to 4 accounts to login. So 4 persons can share the cost. This seems affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I interpret your post as either: i) Your S'porean friend has Asian FT friends in SG who all have Netflix in their home countries; or ii) Your S'pore friend has other local friends who all have Netflix at home I think it's more likely the first one, since you used the term "back home" instead of "at home", which would be more likely the case if you meant the second scenario. So for (i), I'm guessing Netflix is a lot cheaper in countries like Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and India, maybe? (S'pore's online services are notoriously expensive in comparison.) And as others have said, they likely share with their friends so they each pay even less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest too confusing Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 For myself, Netflix offers too many channels. I find it confusing. I would not subscribe to Netflix, because in the end would not watch much. My office rented a service apartment in KL, when our company has a project there and it came with Netflix. I spent nearly a month at that apartment. I needed plenty of time to run through the programs and to decide what exactly to watch. Even if you check on the "tv" program it is quite annoying and not detailed. netflix seems to be something for people who like to watch series, just like the old times, when we watched "desperate housewives" or "Queer as folk" . But in the end I gave up on Netflix, because I spent more time in zapping through all channels and make up my mind on what to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BudakFit Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Just xxx download or used 3rd party apps. It is free. So far so good. Why need to pay? If you free, go play around with 3rd party apps not on your store. you be surprised what you can find...more for android. For iphone a bit tricky but if you know you know how to bypass you can download anything. 🥂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doncoin Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 I gave up on local cable service as I don't watch majority of the shows and switched entirely to streaming services for my entertainment. On 8/17/2021 at 2:05 PM, Neh Neh said: AppleTv, Netflix and Disney+ which one better and worth to subscribe? I actually think HBO Max by far has the best value. All the new movies are out on the streaming service on the same day as theatrical release and you don't have to pay the US$29.99 like Disney+ to view their new releases. So if you watch at least 1 movie a month and then some, the HBO Max service pays for itself. Netflix has the most content and I like it for its international flavour. You get a lot of foreign TV shows etc. Disney+ is nice for their Loki and Star Wars spin off tv series. Other than that, all the new Disney movies you have to pay to watch now or wait 4 months I think after theatrical release to watch it as part of the service. AppleTV has no real compelling programming at the moment to me but they have some nice documentaries. renoma1069 1 Quote Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
