Yeah, but it's definitely ESID because some other pocket wifi don't work in this area. So we thought might as well get a pocket wifi with no contract, and this worked for us. The other option was SoftBank air, but it really isn't that different from a pocket wifi. That would mean expensive construction fees, expensive monthly fees and expensive fees if we break contract.

Yup, I meant to say replacement for data plan! In my place it is extremely expensive to get home internet as our apartments are not equipped with whatever is required to install optic fibre internet so we can only use companies that are willing to come and do the construction work in our inaka ass town. They have an unlimited LTE data plan which seems to work for her. Overall I highly recommend this especially for inaka jets!Īnother alt in my region also used to use the U-mobile sim card. Only 100GB, which is usually enough but sometimes I run out. There is a possibility that you have to return your device if you don't rent it for a few months because they might have rented your device to someone else in advance after your rental period ends. Pros: relatively fast speed in the inaka (no problems streaming Netflix, but never tried gaming before), no contract (you get refunded if you decide to stop using), good customer service (we've tried some other companies that kinda pulled disappearing acts on us)Ĭons: it's cheaper if you rent for a longer period, so you might have to pay a few months worth of internet at a go.

Think the model we use is SoftBank HW603 and I'm paying 3300 yen per month because I got it during discount and rented it for a year. We don't set up internet at home because it is a hassle, so this kinda replaces our home internet + our phone plan. I live in the inaka and ivideo is the only pocket wifi that works for us! Most of the jets here use it.

I no longer have a softbank contract for my phone but there was a good cashback and free line construction offer (I'd moved into a new place recently that didn't have the Hikari line installed into that room) so it ended up as a decent saving, otherwise I'd have just gone to Yahoo BB directly.

Their service has the lowest ping, most consistent speeds (I get about 600 megabit up and down consistently) and they have genuinely no strings unlimited data no soft cap where you get throttled, no extra charges, here's a screenshot of my computer's reading for this month's data use for example: I've never had a similar problem with Softbank BB (Yahoo) so my recommendation is either go direct to Yahoo or go through Softbank. I'd get maybe 10~ ms most on Softbank BB, but I would get about 150~ in the evenings on OCE and 80~ on SoNet, and it made browsing/streaming/video games a chore, I could be getting several hundred megabit down/up but the ping just made everything slow as hell. Supposedly the same package, its all fiber optic gigabit after all, but I experienced consistently high ping with both during peak hours. However, I had a stint with OCE Hikari and SoNet Hikari and both their services left a lot to be desired. The hikari fletz services are all very similar and they all go through NTT (at least hear in Kansai, it's NTT East but I imagine it's the same just with NTT West in the Tokyo region). They are, but they partner with Yahoo BB (Softbank use the title 'Softbank BB' for the service) so you'll get the same service direct through Yahoo! themselves or Softbank.
