“Worked great 95% of the time. Speeds were 100+mbps in most areas in all the countries I visited. Ping was around 60-200ms.
Two downsides:
1. ChatGPT or apps blocked in Hongkong do not work anymore without VPN
2. In very crowded places internet would slow down a lot”

Ubigi Malaysia

“Bought their 10GB plan for Malaysia. It worked way better than my expectation in Kuala Lumpur. The speeds were sufficient and the latency was around 40ms.

At least in cities, this seems to be one of the best options in terms of both price and performance.”
