Summary
Impressions after actually using Ninja WiFi
impressions
Advantages of using
- I rented a Softbank K4 because I planned to use it alone. I was satisfied with the speed and capacity.
- I used the Softbank T7 because I wanted to share it with 6 friends. 6 people were a bit inconvenient with one unit, so I decided to rent 2 units next time.
