eSlowbile - think twice ...

[DrP]

I've been using eMobile since they started. At first the service was quite snappy and lived up to its claim - at least within the context of HSPDA capabilities. Recently I upgraded to the D21 version hoping to take advantage of increase in BW (up and down). Big mistake - there is absolutely no difference in the BW quality between my new D21 or old L series modem. eMobile is a rolling scam. If you're thinking about getting this service - think twice. The WIMAX services kill it on all accounts except for covereage.

I'd only consider eMobile in the context of getting one of the mini-laptop for free. Still requires a 2yr contract, though ....

eMobile offers a free Dell Mini 9 for with a 2yr contract at a 6,00yen/m flat-rate, "unlimited" downloading

What do the WIMAX services offer?

Interesting. The speeds gotta be there for this to go huge in Japan. When you're on hikari and you're streaming HD to the TV as well as having 2 streams running on the laptop while the boy is watching you-tube vids like we were doing earlier and it all runs smoothly you get spoiled and you just want speed, speed and more speed.
