Seems like the Asian carriers are just better at adopting things like eSIMs and offering a lot of data at much lower prices.

If you can get such cheap data in an otherwise expensive place like Singapore, there's no reason European carriers couldn't deliver some comparable offers.

Though to be fair, Singapore is a tiny country, though maybe more dense in population maybe, whereas national carriers Western Europe have to cover whole countries and populations of tens of millions, across more challenging terrain.

The Orange European eSIM offer is interesting, 100 GB instead of the usual 50 GB across all of Europe for the summer. Obviously they're making money in the promotion and these big European carriers have very good roaming arrangements with each other. Does it mean prepaid data becomes cheaper or they just offer bigger packages of data at a higher price?

A lot of these countries though have stringent passport registration requirements for prepaid data. I don't know if being able to get eSIMs without going into mobile shops and having your passport xeroxed is a loophole that they will eventually close.
