Absolutely correct.
Yes, of course.
While roaming in Malaysia? On which carrier(s)? At the same time, from the same device (or at least device make/model), in the same location? Also on 4G or 5G (as the case may be)? Does a Singtel SIM/eSIM (while roaming in Malaysia) route back to Singapore, or does it exit onto the public Internet within Malaysia? To which end destination address(es)?
Yes, we really can say that. We really do know that most people don't care about or need 70 ms less ping time (for example) while roaming in Malaysia. We can be quite sure that difference (if it exists) is not something most people prioritize at all.
No, you're oversimplifying. Nobody rational cares about a purported ~70 ms ping time reduction when doing all sorts of things with their mobile phones: getting directions on Google Maps, sending/receiving WhatsApp messages, downloading new apps, sending and receiving e-mail, etc.
I wonder what the minimum cost is for a Singtel MNO SIM/eSIM that includes roaming in Malaysia. I'm quite sure it's more than $8 per 30 days. And would it even offer a choice of 3 roaming networks in Malaysia with the attendant redundancy and coverage benefits?
You shouldn't be attempting high frequency trading over any wireless connection. Or from Malaysia at all if you can avoid it unless the exchange happens to be Bursa Malaysia.
We should also point out that Singapore-based carriers have very little control or influence over roaming network performance. There are a few aspects they control, but most performance-related factors are up to the roaming networks. But (to repeat) Eight now has 3 roaming network partners in Malaysia. That's pretty impressive all by itself, especially for $8 per 30 days (or less with a promo).or playing online games which require low ping (in which case you should just get gud, noob).
I go overseas never visit or stay in parking garages, even to JB
OK, but that's only an example. The interiors (especially lower levels) of shopping malls, underground public transit stations, and office buildings — as some other examples — are often among the more challenging locations for cellular networks to reach.
Means they are catching up with
Eight dosen't do ownership change.
This is correct. You have to do change of ownership at the existing Telco to the auntie's name, THEN port in to Eight also in the auntie's name.
No no... There's no intent to do ownership change. Just that the user (my auntie) wanted to port out due to the cheap price and port-in offer of the 2 free months. So happily got the son-in-law to do online. He did not ask who is the owner, so just happily help to do online. If cancel the port-in would be simple, but she is going to loose the $. It's difficult to explain this part to elderly. So if can be done at Service Center will be most ideal.
There's no intent to do ownership change to begin with. Just something that was not remembered when the port-in was done online.
Either way, already sunk cost, since right now they are paying eight as well as the existing telco.
Either way, verification against existing owner of the eight account which is the temp number (your auntie) as well as the verification against the current number owner (your uncle) may be required.
No issue in the north - 4G+ on my phone
Yes. The problem with such MVNO is that when you need help very difficult and/or takes a longer time. Just trying to see if asking them to visit a service center will be faster to resolve. If it will then will propose to them, else just keep quiet and wait for the son-in-law to help "resolve" in due time.
At the very least, some MVNO like Eight,SIMBA and ZYM have a service center or something like a service center unlike the sub brands of certain telcos that starts with G and has 4 letters.
Ya, but before you propose to them, head down to check first ba.
If one month passed without the SIL casually asking or checking,
Haha... Cos no complain say not working mah... Just paying 2 lines only. I think they might not have gotten the bill from the telco yet or never realise still being charged (no see adjustments).At the very least, some MVNO like Eight,SIMBA and ZYM have a service center or something like a service center unlike the sub brands of certain telcos that starts with G and has 4 letters.

Later bring them out then cannot, you GG
If one month passed without the SIL casually asking or checking,
"eh, that time i help you port in to eight ah, how ah, can work or not"
I doubt it will happen at all
Eventually, it's up to you to decide how much "care" you want to give to this situation.
Good luck.
