Softbank Hikari's charges are just average compared to other companies' Hikari lines!

There are the following four types of SoftBank Hikari charges.

Types of SoftBank Hikari charges

SoftBank Hikari internet connection charges

SoftBank Hikari internet connection charges vary depending on line speed and contract length.

	Plan name	Line speed	Contract Number of years	Price

*Price includes tax *As of February 2022 *1 SoftBank Hikari TV application required

There is also a pay-as-you-go plan for SoftBank Hikari detached houses!

However, the two-tiered flat-rate system is more expensive than other companies' fiber-optic lines, so I don't recommend it.

Family Light Plan, which is a two-tiered flat-rate plan, can be used at the lowest charge if you use up to 3GB, so it is recommended for those who do not use the Internet a lot.

However, 3GB of data is insufficient for those who watch online games or watch a lot of videos, so we do not recommend it.

When you exceed 5.5GB, it will exceed 5.720 yen for a two-year contract for a detached house, so please be careful.

On top of that, pay-as-you-go billing plans have slow line speeds!

Softbank Hikari's 5-year contract plan is a bargain, but a Hikari TV contract is required.

For those who want to enjoy Hikari TV at the same time, the 5-year contract plan is recommended as it is cheaper.

SoftBank Hikari Initial Fees

The following SoftBank Hikari initial fees are charged.

< th>Initial construction cost< td>No need for on-site construction for new construction (e.g. apartments with facilities)

New on-site construction required
¥2,200

z*Prices are Tax included *As of February 2022

What I want you to be aware of with SoftBank Hikari is that the initial construction cost is not actually free.

However, if you switch from another company during the campaign, the initial construction cost will be virtually free.

If you are installing a new internet line, please be aware that the construction cost will be completely charged!

Softbank Hikari's initial construction cost is 60 payments for 5 years.

Please note that if you cancel within 5 years, the remaining debt of the construction cost will remain.

Since the initial construction cost of Softbank Hikari is expensive, it is important to apply from a counter where you can receive a large cashback when applying.

By applying from a window where you can receive a large amount of cash back, it is possible to make the initial construction cost of 26,400 yen practically free.

SoftBank Hikari option fee

There are 29 options in total for SoftBank Hikari.

Of those, there are 25 paid options, so let's examine the necessary option contract and consider the contract.

The trick to keeping the price low is not to sign a contract for unnecessary options!

As shown in the table above, SoftBank Hikari has many paid options.

Some of the optional services may seem convenient, so you may want to sign up for them first.

However, if you have a lot of option contracts, the SoftBank Hikari fee will become higher and higher.

Some option contracts are free, but most are paid, so be sure to check.

SoftBank Hikari Cancellation Fee

Be aware that SoftBank Hikari will incur a cancellation fee.

If you understand the contract period and the cost to cancel, it will be a material to judge what kind of plan for how many years contract is appropriate.

The fees for canceling SoftBank Hikari during the contract period are as follows!

< th>2-year automatic renewal plan

Plan	Cancellation penalty
10,450 yen
5-year automatic renewal plan	16,500 yen
No contract period	None

*Price includes tax *February 2022 Time point

The 5-year contract is relatively cheap, but please be aware that the cancellation fee will be high if you cancel the contract.

Keep in mind that there may be additional initial construction costs remaining when you cancel your contract.

The initial construction cost of SoftBank Hikari will be paid for 5 years in 60 installments.

Since it is a 2-year contract, you may think that you can cancel it for free if you cancel at the time of the 2-year contract renewal, but in fact, you will be billed for the remaining construction costs in a lump sum, so keep in mind.

If you really want to cancel for free, the earliest cancellation is at the end of the 6-year contract.

SoftBank Hikari's automatic renewal period does not require a contract cancellation fee for 3 months from the expiration of the contract.

For example, if you have a 2-year contract and the contract month is the 0th month, the 23rd, 24th, and 25th months are the periods during which you can cancel without incurring a penalty.

With a 5-year contract, there is no contract cancellation fee for the 59th, 60th, and 61st months.

In addition, depending on the contract period of the option contract and the contents of the contract, there is a possibility that a separate contract cancellation fee may be charged for the option contract, so be careful!

Also, when canceling the contract, you need to return the rental items as soon as possible. If you don't return it or return it late, you may be charged the actual cost, so be careful.

Four points to keep SoftBank Hikari charges low!

There are four points to keep SoftBank Hikari charges low.

Let's consider the contract by pressing the following four points.

Is the home discount light set applied?

Quote: Softbank Hikari

By applying the Home Discount Hikari set, you can get a discount on the monthly charges of Softbank and Y!mobile.

If you want to use SoftBank Hikari even a little, make sure to apply the Home Discount Hikari Set.

But LINEMO is not eligible, so be careful!

Are you contracting unnecessary options?

SoftBank Hikari has many paid options.

It is important to carefully examine option contracts and not to contract unnecessary options.

Even if you feel that it is necessary at the beginning of the contract, there may be options that become unnecessary over time.

Regularly reviewing whether the option is really necessary at the moment is also a trick to keep SoftBank Hikari charges low.

You can easily cancel the option contract from My SoftBank.

How to cancel option

1. 1. Log in to My SoftBank

Quote: SoftBank Hikari

1. 1. Click "Options"

Quote: Softbank Hikari

1. < ol>
2. Click "Procedure" for the option you want to cancel from the "Optional Service List" and follow the instructions on the screen to cancel

Quote: SoftBank Hikari

However, if you cancel the following option contracts, the Home Discount Hikari Set will also be canceled at the same time, so be careful!

If you cancel, the option to cancel the home discount at the same time

Also, in order to increase the communication speed of SoftBank Hikari, a contract for "IPv6 Hybrid Option" is required, but for that purpose, an option contract for "Hikari BB Unit Rental" is required.

If you want to be particular about communication speed, it will be a necessary option contract, so let's make a contract.

It is safe to apply for the IPv6 hybrid option together with SoftBank Hikari at the time of contract.

Is the plan suitable?

SoftBank Hikari has a plan without a contract period, a 2-year automatic renewal plan, a 5-year automatic renewal plan, 1G or less, 5G, and 10G plans, and the charges are different.

If you are considering a long-term contract, choosing a plan with no contract period is expensive, so we do not recommend it.

On the other hand, if you are considering a short-term contract such as half a year, it is better to start with a plan without a contract so that the penalty will not be high.

Also, let's first consider whether 5G or 10G is really necessary for the line speed.

If internet speed isn't that important, a 1Gbp line speed should likely be enough.

If you want to keep SoftBank Hikari charges as low as possible, carefully examine the plan you subscribe to first.

If the SoftBank Hikari charge is higher than you expected and you still want to review your plan, you can call the support center or change it from the chat support.

[SoftBank Hikari Support Center] TEL: 0800-111-2009 (Previous phone number: 093-288-0110) Reception hours: 10:00 to 19:00 Be careful because it is sensitive! There may also be administrative fees and penalties.

Did you apply from a window with a high cashback?

SoftBank Hikari costs the entire initial construction cost for new customers.

If you want to compensate for the initial construction cost, it is important to apply from a window with a high cashback.

Agency STORY is a recommended window where cashback is high and initial construction costs can be compensated.

[Agency STORY] Introducing the application window where you can get a discount for SoftBank Hikari!

*Price includes tax *As of February 2022

The most recommended application window for SoftBank Hikari is the agency STORY.

Because you can receive a high cashback of 37,000 yen after 2 months without any conditions.

Softbank Hikari's initial construction cost of 26,400 yen can be fully compensated, and about 10,000 yen will also be pocket money.

STORY has a campaign where you can get Nintendo Switch in addition to cashback, so you can choose according to your preference!

Let's compare SoftBank Hikari's application windows.

*Price includes tax *As of February 2022

As you can see from the application window comparison table, it is not difficult to receive cashback at the agency STORY, and the actual monthly fee is relatively cheap.

There are cheaper counters, but you need an option contract to receive cashback, and the time to receive cashback is late, so I can't really recommend it.

There are NEXT, Aun Company, and N's Company at the window with the same conditions as STORY, but N's Company does not have a Nintendo Switch gift campaign.

NEXT and Aun Company are windows with the same conditions, but there is a condition that SoftBank Hikari must be on a 5-year contract in order to apply the NointendoSwitch campaign.

The fact that you can apply the campaign unconditionally is an agency STORY, so it's recommended!

However, since construction work is basically unnecessary, the work of line switching is the main work.

Don't forget the proof of the remaining debts of other companies' penalties and construction costs used in the Anshin Transfer Campaign. Please do not lose it.

If there is no construction work, SoftBank Hikari will open in about 1-2 weeks from application.
