Speeds of up to 40Mbps download and 10Mbps uploading are being advertised. For a wireless service this is pretty good ! Most people on a fixed line ADSL or even cable may not be getting this speed.

  1. Sounds interesting. Are there any practical and economical WLAN solutions for the greater Tokyo/Kanto area? What about UMTS, any economic plans available?

    In Germany, UMTS data plans are still ridiculously expensive, at the same time mobile providers are wondering why people are not accessing the internet on their mobile devices. Duh.

  2. there’s a similar service from Wi2 that offers 300M+ wireless access. They are having promotion now, check out the link
