Rakuten Mobile is the strongest and cheapest home internet line...here's why
Installing a fixed internet line at home costs money! What are the costs?
Hello, I'm Yamada from Rakuten (an employee).
Many people who have just started living alone or moved are wondering whether they should get an internet connection at home. In this article, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of getting an internet connection at home, and suggest low-cost alternatives.
1. Estimated monthly fees, installation costs, etc.
Monthly fee : 4,000 to 6,000 yen
Construction cost : 15,000 yen to 30,000 yen
Initial costs : Contract fee, router fee, etc.
Installing a fixed internet line at home requires an initial setup fee. Installation costs vary depending on the provider and region, but generally range from 15,000 to 30,000 yen. In addition, monthly fees can be as high as 4,000 to 6,000 yen, which can be a big burden on the household budget. In addition, you need to consider other initial costs such as contract fees and router fees.
2. Construction work effort and time
Reservation for construction : Waiting several weeks
Construction time : A few hours to half a day
Details of work : Drilling holes in the wall, laying wiring, etc.
The time and effort involved in the installation work cannot be ignored. Reservations for installation work are often made on a waiting list of several weeks, and the actual installation work can take anywhere from a few hours to half a day. There may be temporary disruption to your home as holes are drilled in the walls and wiring is run.
What are the benefits of getting a fixed internet line? A thorough explanation of its value!
First, let's look at the benefits of having a fixed internet line.
1. Stable and high-speed communication
Large data downloads and uploads possible
Ideal for online gaming and video streaming
The biggest advantage of a fixed internet line is that it provides stable, high-speed communication. This is especially useful when dealing with large amounts of data, or when enjoying online games and video streaming. For example, you can enjoy 4K video streaming and large-scale online games without delay.
2. Simultaneous connection of multiple devices
The whole family can use the internet at the same time
Easily connect smart home devices
With a fixed line, the whole family can use the internet at the same time. For example, you can stream a movie in the living room while the kids play online games in their own rooms. It also makes it easy to connect smart home devices, making life easier.
3. Improved security
Dedicated Security Features
Antivirus and firewall settings available
Fixed-line internet lines often come with dedicated security features, and you can set up antivirus software and a firewall. This improves the security of your home network and allows you to use the internet with peace of mind.

Can fixed-line internet lines be substituted with mobile phone data communications? What is the reality?
1. Data communication restrictions
Monthly data limit
Speed Limit
When using mobile phone data instead of a fixed internet line, there are often restrictions on monthly data volume and communication speeds. If you use large amounts of data frequently, you may quickly run out of data. For example, if you stream videos or play online games for a long time, you will quickly reach your data volume limit.
2. Stability of communication
Communication may be unstable
Slower speeds during peak hours
Data communication on mobile phones can be less stable than that on fixed lines. Speeds can slow down especially at peak times, making it difficult to use the Internet comfortably. For example, communication speeds can drop significantly during times when many people use the Internet, such as in the evenings or on weekends.
3. Cost Issues
Cost of purchasing additional data
Expensive monthly fees
If you use a lot of mobile data, you may have to pay to purchase more data, and even if you have an unlimited plan, the monthly fee is often high. This can make it more expensive than using a fixed internet line.
