Currently, NTT DoCoMo introduces bandwidth limitation exceeding 3 million packets (about 366 MB) in the last 3 days, and if the communication situation is congested, it will be subject to the communication speed control, and Xi If you can communicate at 35 Mbps (4.375 MB per second) which is the maximum of the theoretical value, it will exceed 366 MB in about 84 seconds.

This is the price graph. By the way, if you do not use the "Xi start campaign" of 4935 yen per month to celebrate the start of service, the upper limit of the fixed amount will rise to 9135 yen if the transfer amount exceeds 5 GB, and if it exceeds 7 GB it is said that it will be charged for further usage.
