5G is actually overkill. It's all about clever marketing.

Yes, because everyone uses the internet the same way you do, and therefore it's overkill for everyone, right?

Meanwhile, I'll just stick to the cheapest "Kaku-yasu" sim plan of 980 yen a month with 3GB which also includes phone calls at 21 yen a per minute, I think. But don't make calls, I use Line to do that since it's ubiquitous in Japan.

And I get it even cheaper at 680 yen per month at double the GB (6) since I bundled it with my unlimited GB fibre broadband for home use

Basically, out on the road this cheap plan is fine for web browing, using Line etc (which I do a lot when commuting). Not good if streaming Netflix etc , but don't enjoy doing that on a train with a small screen anyway.

I'm happy with the massive savings.

5G = China.

Anyone looked at which Countries have the highest Covid-19 rates and compared to their 5G Adoption with Chinese technology.... Guess who visited those Countries ?
