Sizzling fast service now available in southern Greece
Having been a previous Ubigi customer using their service in Greece, I was unhappy with the slow, flaky internet available in the Peloponnese area. Now a few years later after returning here, I decided to try it again. The cell tower they are using has been upgraded to 5G and it is sizzling fast. I measured 480 Mbps download speed. Astounding! Thanks for upgrading me to a real internet service.

Slight issue in the start, otherwise stellar service.
Had zero issues other than the startup, perfect connection for two weeks, even on top of a mountain. Make sure you pre-install the eSIM in your origin, critically DISABLE your local SIM before boarding, and in Haneda (Japan) there's no point to try and connect to it while still in the plane due to local infrastructure, wait until you're in the terminal to connect.

Ubigi is great for travels abroad
Ubigi is great for travels abroad. I had some difficulties when setting it up, but figured it out at the end. This the explanation could be a bit clearer.
