I've used eConnect a few times back then but this was with me restricting to only checking Map and Hyperdia and turning data plan off after checking.



This trip, I just let data plan on, though there was no downloading of any sort (that is no youtube or streaming etc), I was around 1.1-1.2 GB on 15 days use, and just as of today, they decided to drop the speed to 0, well maybe not entirely 0 but it is slower than 14.4 dial up or worse speed. I send them e-mail and they just reply it's policy etc etc.



Now, here's the funny thing, if you purchase 3GB plan for a month, but you can only use 120mb per day, is the company saying that tourists should stay in Japan for 25 days to use up that 3GB? Anyway, they reply me with policy of other company or whatever, but here is the thing, I'm paying you E-connect not other company.



To be fair here is my impression of E-connect

- Delivery is fast and punctual

- Reply is prompt

- Be very careful with usage as you might be cut off from connection when you are out of town, lost and without any connection to check where you are going.

- You will never really get back what you pay for

- 120MB might be a lot in the OLD days, but now, a couple updates or sites with pictures will eat up the quota.



I should really drop by Yodobashi to check their dataplan sim, since I will be needing another option for my next visit.
