WILL I BE ABLE TO SEE TV STREAM WITH THIS SERVICE?

It is not guaranteed that you will be able to stream TV.

Under good coverage our customers normally are able to watch TV.

However, there are many factors that affect the quality of the internet connection on a mobile network. 4G doesn’t yet cover all the territory and in areas with only regular 4G coverage, the signal may not me enough to provide the speeds needed to stream TV.

Additionally, places with good 4G coverage, can get crowded during the certain periods, which will force the bandwidth to be shared with different customers, causing a drop in the connection speed.
