SoftBank's Downlink Maximum 42 Mbps Service "ULTRA SPEED" Remarks Summary

Corporate service started in February, but services for individuals had not been started easily SoftBank Mobile's descending maximum 42 Mbps communication service "ULTRA SPEED"Will finally be deployed for individuals starting from July 8 (Friday) tomorrow.

However, the data communication service provided by SOFTBANK MOBILE has a lot of difficulties in understanding contents at first glance,Ultra SPEED "which is offered as an" upgrade campaign "for WILLCOM users has band limitation that is not an exaggeration to say as a pitfallTherefore, I also pointed out the points to note about "ULTRA SPEED" for individuals to be offered from tomorrow.

Started providing the industry's fastest and cheapest data communication service | SOFTBANK MOBILE Corp.

According to the press release announced by SOFTBANK MOBILE on July 5, the mobile wireless LAN router "ULTRA WiFi SoftBank 007Z" compatible with "ULTRA SPEED" with a maximum of 42 Mbps down from July 8 (Friday) tomorrow will be released The service will be deployed for individuals according to.

This is the mobile wireless LAN router "ULTRA WiFi SoftBank 007Z". Supports IEEE802.11b / g / n with upstream maximum 42 Mbps, upstream maximum 5.8 Mbps supported. Up to 10 wireless LAN devices can be connected, and the battery drive time is 4 hours.


Also, if you apply for "data communication start campaign" that will be held until Wednesday, November 30, 2011, you will receive a UQ WiMAX one-year subscription plan "UQ Flat", "High-speed mobile campaign" developed by EMOBILE Similarly, monthly usage fee will be 3880 yen, the lowest in the industry.

Breakdown of breakdown plan. If you set two types of "data flat plan for ULTRA SPEED (monthly amount of 7380 yen)" and "data flat plan S (7380 yen per month)" at the same time, it becomes the subject of the "data communication start campaign", and both services are monthly 3880 It will be available in yen."Unlimited data" announced on June 15Similarly, it seems that it is virtually impossible to think that it is hard to think that there will be people who apply for the plan alone if there is a price difference.


By applying "data communication start campaign", we also offer 2-stage fixed amount plan that can be used at 1400 to 4980 yen per month.


Service area overview. In "Data Flat Plans for ULTRA SPEED", you can use "Data All-weather Support Area" and "Data Flat Plan S" is "Data All-weather Support Sub Area".


And for those who say "data flat plan for ULTRA SPEED", "data free-float compatible area", "data flat plan S", "data free all-weather compatible sub area" is hard to understand ... ... as summarized briefly .

· "Data flat plan for ULTRA SPEED" and "All-you-can-go data area"
Flat-rate data communication service using SOFTBANK MOBILE's network and its area

· "Data Flat Plan S" and "Data All-weather Support Sub Area"
Flat-rate data communication service using EMOBILE's network and its area

In addition, in the area not compatible with "ULTRA SPEED" it is whether or not we can use the vast 3G network that SOFTBANK MOBILE offers for mobile phones, but the corresponding area is not existing 3G area, but newly developed Since it is said to be a "data free all-inclusive area" using 1.5 GHz band,As well as "Unlimited Data" announced on June 15th, it is different from the vast 3G network provided for mobile phonesIt will be.

In the area expansion of "ULTRA SPEED" announced last November,The population coverage rate as of June 2011 was estimated to stay at only about 60%But,When checking with SOFTBANK MOBILE in the editorial department, the population coverage rate reaches 75% as of the end of JuneSo, the point that it is possible to use e-Mobile's network together is a big merit, but I would like to keep in mindThe amount of traffic that can be subject to bandwidth limitation in SoftBank Mobile and EMOBILE's networks is differentThe point.

In the press release released by SOFTBANK MOBILE, we announce that we will implement bandwidth limitation based on the following criteria.

· Softbank Mobile Network
If the monthly packet traffic volume of the month before the previous month exceeds 30 million packets, the communication speed may be limited for the current month

· E · mobile network
When packet traffic amount every 24 hours exceeds 3 million packets, communication speed control is performed from 21:00 on the day to 2:00 the next day

In the EMOBILE network, when communicating over 3 million packets (about 366 MB) every 24 hours, the communication speed is only restricted from 21:00 on the day to 2:00 the next day, whereas Softbank Mobile requires bandwidth limitation requirement "A total of over 30 million packets (about 3.66 GB) in total for the month before last month"In addition to being applicable when communicating 1 million packets (about 122 MB) per day, it will affect one month if bandwidth limitation is implementedTherefore, attention is necessary.

In other words, the main points of attention of "ULTRA SPEED" are summarized as follows.

· The existing 3G network can not be used, and the population coverage rate as of the end of June 2011 is 75%
· When communicating over 1 million packets (about 122 MB) per day on SOFTBANK MOBILE's network, there is a possibility that bandwidth limitation will be imposed for one month

However, by applying "data communication start campaign", it becomes possible to use with the industry lowest standard price of 3880 yen in conjunction with EMOBILE's network with a wide coverage area and relatively moderate bandwidth limit, Because the area of ​​ULTRA SPEED will continue to expand in the future, depending on how you use it is not quite a bad service.
