The cheap plan "Linemo" provided by SoftBank, a telecommunications carrier.
It is different from MVNO, which is rented by renting a line from a communication carrier, so high -speed communication can be performed even during crowded hours.When I measured it at noon on weekdays, it exceeded "50Mbps".
If you are looking for a higher communication speed, you need to use a optical line or contract a large book.But does it really need any more speed?
I checked how much running costs would be incurred if I made a contract equivalent to LINEMO on SoftBank.

LINEMO's "Mini Plan" is "3GB" and the basic fee is "990 yen (tax included)".SoftBank's "Mini Fit Plan" is 5,478 yen (tax included).
If there is a price difference so far before the speed, it is difficult to compare.It is also important to note that SoftBank has a maximum speed after 3GB exceeding to 128 kbps.If the data communication that occurs on the month is 3GB, it is better to choose LINEMO without questions and answers.

Here is the main.LINEMO is "Smartphone Plan" and SoftBank is "Serring Unlimited".LINEMO has a monthly data amount defined in "20GB", while SoftBank is "unlimited".
However, in tethering, the monthly data amount is defined as "30GB", so let's recognize it as a specialized usage for smartphones.
1Mbps is the data transfer speed that can be transmitted and received per second.When converted to byte that indicates the amount of data, 0.It will be 125MB.If the descent is 50Mbps, 6 in 10 seconds.25MB, 60 seconds (1 minute) 37.5MB, 60 minutes (1 hour) 2.You can receive about 25GB data.
I can't think of any more high -speed communication except for "Downloading the Game" or "Ultra High Resolution Video Streaming Play".Downloading games is not frequent, and 4K or 8K videos are mostly non -smartphone displays.
However, the amount of data is important for "Streaming Video Play" besides speed.If you refer to the content published by LINE Mobile, you can play 2GB data communication by playing 1080p (full HD image quality) data for 1 hour.In LINEMO, the amount of data specified in "20 hours" will be exceeded.SoftBank is "unlimited", so you can watch it at 1080p.

If you use up 20GB, LINEMO will switch to the maximum "1Mbps" communication speed.It is quite practical compared to SoftBank's maximum "128Kbps".So how much resolution can you watch this 1Mbps?
If the descent is 1Mbps, 1 in 10 seconds.25MB, 60 seconds (1 minute) 7.450MB data can be received in 5MB and 60 minutes (1 hour).If you actually try it, you can play it without any problem up to about 480p (SD image quality).It is roughly consistent with the "sustainable speed" recommended by YouTube.
Recommended speed published by YouTube
| 動画の解像度 | 推奨される持続的な速度 |
|---|---|
| 4K | 20 Mbps |
| HD 1080p | 5 Mbps |
| HD 720p | 2.5 Mbps |
| SD 480p | 1.1 Mbps |
| SD 360p | 0.7 Mbps |
If you play the 480p (SD image quality) video on the PC screen, you will feel that the image quality is somewhat rough.However, it is different if the screen size is about a smartphone.
Switch the playback resolution to "480p" and "1080p" on YouTube (Display videos corresponding to 1080p on YouTube app. If the upper right is three vertically, try "image quality" → "Detailed setting") from the icon.please give me.

I think that the difference in image quality is "clearly understood" and "I understand clearly" is worth a contract for SoftBank.Conversely, if you don't know the difference, LINEMO is enough.
When contracting alone, the difference in basic fee is "4,510 yen" per month.The annual conversion is "54,120 yen"."108,240 yen" in two years.You can buy one high -end smartphone.
Even if you deposit money with a bank, you can hardly get any interest, so you can save a lot of valuable communication charges.Transfer from SB (SoftBank) to LINEMO to SD (480p).Lower the resolution of the streaming videos you usually watch and enrich your life.
