If I am a M1 post-paid customer,i will stick with M1's S$10 data passport if I am not a regular in Batam. But if I need to buy a sim card in Sillypore to get roaming in Batam,i will choose to buy that sim card in Batam instead. Cheaper and I get more in the long run (that's if I go to Batam often enough).
Nowaday Sillypore roaming packages were made to be almost equivalent with buying a new sim card in Batam. Other than the part that Singtel keeps making their customer buy something that most in Batam do not need,hehehe...imagine,30 days to use those data. How many of us actually stayed in Batam for more than 30 days.
Let's not forget that many Batam places often comes with free wifi....but free wifi would also mean if there are many people using it at the same frame of time, it gets slowed down. Eg,if you pick a hotel that is full house on that day,then don't expect a fast internet connection,hehehe...
Note : Sometime I would advise those respective business entities which I frequent to reset their modems and routers (I teach them how to) so as to flush out all old/under-utilize wireless IPs to speed up the connection speed.
