1. A connectivity configuration method for a device, comprising:
utilizing a first data connection between the device and a first cellular provider;
identifying a change in location of the device;
based on the identified change in location and information associated with a second data connection between the device and a second cellular provider different from the first cellular provider, determining that the second data connection has more optimal characteristics over the first data connection by:
evaluating cellular performance of the first data connection and the second data connection at the changed location; and
determining the cellular performance of the second cellular provider is better than the cellular performance of the first cellular provider at the changed location, based on a result of the evaluating; and
facilitating a switch from the first data connection to the second data connection based on the change in the location by:
downloading to the device, by the first data connection provided by the first cellular provider, a profile associated with the second cellular provider;
provisioning an embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) of the device with the profile associated with the second cellular provider;
enabling, on the eSIM, the profile associated with the second cellular provider; and
disabling, on the eSIM, a profile associated with the first cellular provider,
wherein the first data connection is available at the changed location.
