■Survey overview
■Survey method
*In this verification, we evaluated the value at a specific date, time zone, and place.

━━━━━━━━━━━Investigation results for each item━━━━━━━━━━━■ Communication speed
Rakuten Mobile, which has the highest communication speed, exceeds 30 Mbps in the city centerThe communication speed of Rakuten Mobile, which ranks first in the city center, is 31.8 to 42.8 Mbps downstream and 40 to 40.9 Mbps upstream. , the suburbs record downlink 15.9-19.1Mbps and uplink 9.3-16.2Mbps. The speed was stable at about 10 Mbps, and the speed exceeded 30 Mbps in the city center, indicating high communication quality. In addition, WFi exceeding the limit in second place recorded 16.1-24.6 Mbps downstream and 17.4-22.8 Mbps upstream in the city center, and 18.4-28.9 Mbps downstream and 9.2-17.4 Mbps upstream in the suburbs. Not only the downlink speed but also the uplink speed is good, the video is not interrupted even during telework online meetings, and it can be said that there is no problem uploading videos for SNS. The 3rd place WiFi without binding recorded 24.4-34.1 Mbps downstream and 21-22.1 Mbps upstream in the city center, and 13.2-21.8 Mbps downstream and 15.7-18.8 Mbps upstream in the suburbs. The speed is stable without falling below 10 Mbps, and it seems that it can be used comfortably even in telework online meetings where upload speed is required. (* Communication speed is evaluated by 25% and 75% of "quartile" for downlink speed, uplink speed, and response speed, respectively.)
《topic》Check the download speed first! From surfing the Internet to watching videos, downloading is the main form of communication on the Internet. Therefore, let's focus on the downlink communication speed first. 10 Mbps is basically usable, but 25 Mbps or higher is required for watching 4K high-definition video and online games that require large-capacity communication. In addition, upstream communication speed is important for telework online meetings and posting videos and images on SNS. If the upload speed is slow, it may freeze or fail to post. In this verification, cloud Wi-Fi and carriers were good at speeds of about 10 Mbps, but WiMAX systems were 1 to 2 Mbps. ■ Monthly amount
Although it has less capacity than other services, the cheapest price is unlimited WiFi at 3,080 yen per month
In the verification of the low price, we calculated the actual monthly fee assuming that it will be used for 3 years, taking into account discounts and campaigns. No. 1 is Wi-Fi without binding. Although the capacity is smaller than other mobile routers, the actual monthly fee for 3 years of use was 3,080 yen, which was the lowest among the 14 services. In addition, Rakuten Mobile, which ranked second, has a cashback of 5,000 yen worth of Rakuten points, so the actual monthly fee when using it for 3 years is 3,139 yen, which is also quite cheap. Mugen WiFi in 3rd place has a cashback of 10,000 yen for the main unit price, so the actual monthly fee when using it for 3 years is 3,440 yen, which is cheaper than the market price and was highly evaluated.
《topic》 A great line for less than 3,500 yen per month! Even if the plan looks like a good deal, there are cases where the benefits are not so great when considering the discount application period and cashback conditions, so it is important to calmly assess the actual price. Considering the market price of mobile routers and the difference with optical lines, it can be said that a monthly fee of 3,500 yen or less is a profitable line. Of the 14 services that we compared and verified this time, those that fall under this 3,500 yen plan include Rakuten Mobile, Shibari-Nashi WiFi, and Mugen WiFi. If you are looking for a cheap option, you may want to consider this as well. Finally, we will introduce the top 7 comprehensive evaluation rankings of mobile routers. In the article, we also explain detailed actual measurements, actual charges, and advantageous campaigns for each mobile router.
