Rakuten Unlimited data sim speed throttle.

Hello. So I needed internet and the company I applied for said it will take a few weeks to construct the line. So after researching a bit I decided to settle for Rakuten Saikyo unlimited data plan as a temporary solution, I read they don’t have limit on data so I went with it.
At first everything was good, I was getting consistent 80mbps up and down. I used around 24GB the first day because of many updates not having internet for a while. Then the throttling started, the speed came down to 3mbps and its been like this for more than 24hrs.
I understand the throttling until next day when a lot of data is used, beem its has been more than a day and no improvement.
Did anyone experience this and what should I expect?

Any advice is much appreciated.

  1. Have you tried turning it off and on again?

    (Not kidding – my company issued wifi router has the same issue periodically, a reboot fixes the issue.)

  2. How do you expect to have an “unlimited” product for 3000 yen without a fair use policy. Most places that have this kind of offer will have a rolling 1-3 day limit where you’ll be throttled after X gigabytes transfer. Be lucky the throttle is only 3mbit, that’s perfectly usable.

    Their own website has fine print:

    日本全国の通信エリアで高速データ通信が無制限に※

    and

    ※公平なサービス提供または環境により速度低下する場合あり
