In MY now. Confirm that roaming data experience is much improved with the new roaming partner Celcom. At least now I have stable 4g connection from JB all the way to Melaka.

Last weekend I was in JB and data on maxis and U mobile was very unstable.

I was in JB on Saturday using the default MyMaxis. So far, there has been no issue, but unlike last Saturday, I kept getting an "E" signal.

Just to update on this, went in yesterday and same thing happened on EDL a couple of minutes after exiting custom. iPhone shows connected to MAXIS but no 4G, everything went offline. Turned on airplane mode and then off and it connected to MAXIS 4G. When I’m coming back via ELD same thing, the stretch after Mid valley exit and before reaching custom, went offline again. The rest of the trip in Johor Bahru (Tebrau, Austin, Setia Indah, Johor Jaya area), all working well, no complaints.

i remember last elections, the mobile system jammed, they have to use manual and switching back. If everyone is on mobile data, later all bandwith all taken up

Very interesting.

The most recent elections in SG was the Presidential Elections. That was held on 1 September 2023.

Eight was soft launched in April 2024.

So clearly you're not referring to Eight "mobile system jammed", but rather, some other telco? Because Eight didn't exist during the "last elections".
