Having Internet access is crucial regardless of travelling for work or for leisure. From communicating with business counterparts to updating your \u2018gram, having access to the Internet contributes to a great travel experience.<\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s also crucial to have a good connection. Without high speed Internet , you won\u2019t be able to do basic things like downloading images in email, loading Google Maps, browsing social media, search for food recommendations, and many more activities at the touch of your fingertips.<\/p>\n

So, how can you be sure you have the best and fastest Internet connection while travelling abroad? Fret not, there are plenty of ways to gain access:<\/p>\n

Traveler’s sim card\/roaming rates from existing telco service provider.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pros: Easiest option because you only need to call your telco service provider to activate. <\/em><\/p>\n

Cons: Expensive roaming rates.<\/em><\/p>\n

Public<\/strong> WiFi<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pros: Doesn\u2019t cost a cent but readily available. <\/em><\/p>\n

Cons: Not safe because there could be hackers, and you would be disconnected when moving from one place to another.<\/em><\/p>\n

Pocket WiFi<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pros: Huge data allowances with lightning fast speed (usually 4G) for a small price. <\/i><\/p>\n

Pros: Can connect up to numerous devices at a time. <\/em><\/p>\n

Pros: Secure and private network.<\/em><\/p>\n

Cons: Carry around a small physical device.<\/em><\/p>\n

Among the three options, the best would be travelling with a Pocket WiFi because the pros heavily outweigh the cons (which actually is not a problem, considering the small device can be fitted even into your skinny jeans).<\/p>\n

Since Pocket WiFi is the best option, we did a comparison between 4 popular brands to see which has the best offer in Malaysia. We also understand that pricing and features vary from destinations, therefore we selected one of the most popular holiday spots among Malaysians to compare: JAPAN. <\/strong><\/p>\n
