This is the real thing of the complaint


According to Softbank, "The connection in 8-branch unit is a very irrational connection method that allows the connecting company to bear the connection fee for 8 lines regardless of the use of one line" As you can see from the figure below, even in cases where only one line is used, actually 8 lines, that is, 8 times the burden of businesses other than NTT will become necessary in some cases.


thisSoftbank's request that you want to be able to use one line instead of eight linesis. "A" - "D" in the upper and lower figures are the places where Softbank wants to connect. By doing this you should be able to use one line at a time.
