This video presents the results of Nomad’s travel eSIM testing in Manila, Philippines, highlighting speed test results, latency, local network connectivity, and IP address details.
Easy to use, decent speeds (not particularly fast but not frustratingly slow either). But this eSIM uses roaming via Hong Kong, so I wasn't able to use ChatGPT which was a bummer.
Nomad eSIM was easy to buy, easy to use (you just activate the plan from app and turn on data roaming) but in the Philippines it was definitely not that fast.
The one I bought from Nomad connected to Globe 4G, but was actually roaming via Hong Kong (provider called 1010 / csl).
I tried to use tethering at the airport on my way back but the network was sooo slow for some reason. Maybe just the airport, not sure.
