However, since the service area is limited, it should be noted that there are areas and residences that cannot be contracted.
If you are an au user in an area outside the au Hikari area, consider optical lines provided by local electric power companies such as Tokai, Kansai, and Kyushu.
Like au Hikari, au Smart Value discounts can be applied to local-limited fiber-optic lines.
In addition, since the service area is more limited, the number of users is smaller and the speed is easier to stabilize.

How to choose a cheap optical line! Four Points to Note
The following four points are worth noting when choosing the cheapest optical line from among the many options available.
[Points to note when choosing an optical line]
It is important to consider not only the simple monthly fee, but also the applicable campaigns when choosing!
First of all, the point to pay attention to when choosing a fiber-optic line is, "Can you apply a set discount with your smartphone?"
The smartphone line contracts of the three major carriers, docomo, au, and Softbank, each have a set discount with an optical line, and depending on the set discount, you can receive a smartphone monthly charge discount of up to 1,100 yen.
Smartphone carrier | Optical line | Maximum discount | Maximum number of people | Family members living separately | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
au Smart Value | au | ・au Hikari・So-net Hikari Plus・Commufa Hikari・eo Hikari, etc. | ¥1,100 | 10 people | Applicable |
Home Discount Hikari Set | Softbank | ・NURO Hikari・Softbank Hikari | 1,100 yen td> | 10 people | Applicable |
docomo Hikari set discount | docomo | ・docomo Hikari | 1,100 yen | 20 people | Applicable |
Smartphone Set discounts are also applied to family members with the same carrier, so the more units you contract, the better!
For example, if 4 family members want to contract with the same smartphone carrier, I summarized the discount amount that you can receive by applying the set discount!
Discount amount | |
---|---|
Me< /th> | ¥1,100 |
Wife | ¥1,100 |
Daughter | >¥1,100 |
Son | ¥550 |
Total Discount | >3,850 yen |
However, what is discounted with the smartphone set discount is the monthly fee for each smartphone in the set. Note that
In other words, strictly speaking, it is not the monthly fee of the optical line that is cheaper with the set discount, but the "overall communication cost".
When comparing rates between optical lines, it is not enough to simply compare the monthly charges written on the official website.
In order to make a more accurate comparison, let's compare the "actual price" that includes all additional items such as initial costs and subtractive items such as cashback campaigns.
[Method of calculating actual charges]
Even if the monthly fee is cheap, if there is no construction fee discount or cash back, the actual fee will be higher, so it is easy to understand where the benefits are even if the campaign is different for each window!
Even with the same optical line, the details of cashback and discounts differ greatly depending on the window you apply for, so it's important to find out where you can apply cheaply!
Specifically, where is the optical line / application window where the actual fee is cheap?[First conclusion! The cheapest optical line is determined by the smartphone you are using].
If you are switching from another company's line, pay attention to whether the new optical line will bear the costs such as the cancellation penalty for canceling the current line.
The cancellation fee can be tens of thousands of yen depending on the timing of switching, so if you pay it as it is, it will be a big burden.
If you choose a fiber-optic line that will cover the cost of transferring, you won't be afraid of a high penalty!
“Softbank Hikari” and “au Hikari” are currently running campaigns that charge penalty fees.
Also, it would be effective to wait for the "renewal month" when canceling the current line will not incur a penalty before switching.
Even if you choose a line with a low charge, it is meaningless if the communication speed is slow enough to interfere with actual use.
Also pay attention to whether the speed is more than sufficient for the purpose of the Internet.
We have summarized the speeds that can be used comfortably for each purpose of Internet use!
Usage details | Estimated Internet speed |
---|---|
・Sending and receiving emails ・YouTube HD image quality Video playback | 5Mbps or less |
・Browsing simple sites ・Update blogs | 5~10Mbps | < /tr>
・Downloading software ・Browsing sites with sound and video ・4K quality video playback | 25Mbps or more |
・Online games such as PS4 ・Large data download | 100Mbps or more |
Also, when checking the speed, please check the specs It is important to look at the "measured value" of how fast the actual users are using it, not the numbers above.
Regarding actual measurements, you can refer to Minna no Internet speed, which is a website that reports and aggregates internet speeds, and word of mouth on SNS such as Twitter.
If you want to keep costs down, we also recommend "Pocket WiFi" is also recommended.
Although there are advantages such as cheaper rates than fiber-optic lines, there are also points to note.
[Benefits of Pocket WiFi]
[Notes on pocket-type WiFi]
People who can definitely recommend pocket WiFi are those who don't use the Internet much and who want to focus on price rather than speed.
