Hi,

I was using maxis roaming pass in china (guangzhou and shenzhen) last week. I noticed the loading and browsing speed on chinese apps were very slow or sometime it just doesn't load. No speed issue on apps like FB, IG, Google !

Chinese apps that i encountered issue:

Didi
Meituan
China's banking apps
GaoDe Map
Baitu Map

all very slow!

Anyone face the same issue before?

Routing issue, your IP is actually back to Malaysia and to visit China apps it will route from Maxis KL to CN IP
And Malaysia ISPs is known to have bad routing to CN network
Happened to me before when using CDG roaming in CN , everything works fine except when scan their bank QR using Alipay
Luckily I have China Mobile SIM , use it as hotspot when make payment

Don't roam when you don't need to. biggrin.gif
Buy local SIM (e-SIM, if your phone support). Any roaming SIM will do unnecessary routing back to origin country and to your visiting server.
Last time I was in UK and do roaming with Malaysia SIM. bangwall.gif Better buy UK SIM, expensive (due to RM) but at least I can use normally. rolleyes.gif

Will need roam when in China cuz addicted to FB / WhatsApp / IG / Messenger etc all blocked
But can consider roam sim like CUNIQ / CMHK / CTM / CTMO which the routing will be more better (HK / Macao)
