Alternative to Pocket Wifi or Data SIM?

[SZQddy]

Hi,

I'm in Osaka for a month. I have a pocket wifi device for when i'm travelling and it's great for that purpose (500MB a day at LTE speeds).

However, the place I am staying at has no internet at all. For home use the pocket wifi is almost useless as after 500MB is used the speed drops to around 10kbps (officially 128kbps).

Anybody know of any alternatives for short-term home internet? I read about Wimax service but not sure if it is available for 1 month.

Thanks

There are some SIM cards that are valid for 30 days. Should be plenty to choose from Yodobashi or BIC Camera.

I used this last time https://t.iijmio.jp/en/. Speed was very fast and reliable.

Thanks. But the Pocket Wifi I already have is valid for 30 days (500MB per day) which is more than enough whilst travelling and sightseeing.

The problem is, as i'm here for a whole month, I would like more data allowance for use at home (YouTube, work, download large files etc), almost like normal ADSL/Cable/Fibre but for 1 month only.

The place I'm staying at (AirBnb) does not have internet. I was wandering if there was an alternative. I heard about Wimax service in Japan but seems to be contract only and coverage is a bit hit n miss.
