Streaming Access Guide

CHAPTER / REGION

How regional restrictions work

Platforms evaluate more than one address

When a streaming platform decides what you can see, it usually looks beyond the exit IP shown by your browser. It may also consider the account’s creation region, past login environment, app-store region, device time zone, location permissions, DNS request path, payment details, and cached playback state. When these signals agree, the platform often shows the content library for that region. When they conflict, it may reduce available content, ask you to confirm your region, or let you browse the home page but show a restriction when playback starts. A correct exit region is only the starting point; it does not mean the entire playback path has passed.

Consider a common scenario: the browser connects through a route in the target region and shows the correct exit IP, but the device still uses an old DNS cache while the account has long been used in another region. The platform may return the target region’s home page first, then recheck the account and device environment when playback is authorized. The result is familiar: “the artwork loads, but the video won’t play.” This is not simply a page-loading failure. The catalog, account, and playback authorization interfaces may apply different checks. Troubleshooting requires identifying whether the failure occurs before login, while browsing the catalog, after selecting Play, or only after entering high-definition quality.

Catalog, authorization, and media delivery are separate paths

A complete playback session can be divided into catalog access, playback authorization, and media-segment delivery. Catalog access determines which titles appear on the home page; playback authorization confirms that the account plan, title license, and current region match; media delivery continuously fetches video and audio segments. A route that loads artwork quickly only proves that the catalog interface is reachable. To determine whether it is suitable for streaming, also check whether title details open, playback authorization succeeds, and quality remains stable without frequent buffering.

These three paths may also use different domains. If only the main site goes through the proxy while authorization or media domains use the local exit, routing is incomplete. Conversely, sending all system traffic through a remote route may make everyday local services take an unnecessarily long path. A practical approach is to use a global connection first to confirm whether split routing is the cause, then use client logs to complete the relevant domain rules step by step. Once the rules work, return to selective routing. Do not change the route, DNS, client mode, and account settings all at once; even if playback returns, you will not know which change solved the problem.

Why DNS and the device environment affect the result

DNS resolves platform domains to service endpoints. If domain lookups still leave through the local network while media requests use an exit in another region, the platform may see an inconsistent environment. Check whether the client controls DNS, whether browser Secure DNS overrides system settings, and whether the router has retained old resolution results. After changing settings, fully quit and reopen the app; refreshing the playback page alone may not clear its internal cache. TVs, set-top boxes, and game consoles often retain cache more stubbornly, so disconnecting and reconnecting the network may be necessary.

To verify the region, start with UWVPN’s IP Lookup to confirm the exit location, then check the route currently selected in the client. An IP lookup only shows the exit location; it cannot replace the platform’s own authorization result. If the exit region is correct but the platform still returns the original region’s content, check account history, app cache, and DNS instead of repeatedly refreshing the page. On shared household devices, also make sure another user has not switched routes in the background. Some TV apps reuse an old session when playback resumes, producing inconsistent results on the same device.

CHAPTER / SCOPE

What does “access” actually change?

It changes the access environment visible to the platform

What people commonly call streaming access is essentially presenting the platform with a network exit that matches the region of the requested content during authorization. It does not modify the platform account, purchase content for you, or change copyright ownership. If a title requires an additional rental, a separate purchase, or a higher membership tier, correct regional detection still will not satisfy the platform’s own subscription requirements. A route addresses network entry and regional detection; it does not replace account entitlements.

“Can open the platform,” “can see the target title,” “can play the target title,” and “can play it at the target quality” are different outcomes. Opening the home page only shows that the entry point works. Seeing the title suggests the catalog region roughly matches. Playback means the account and authorization checks passed. Stable high quality additionally requires sustained media delivery. Treating all of these as one question—“does it work?”—makes troubleshooting directionless. When submitting a support ticket, specify the exact stage where it stops instead of simply saying “it won’t play.”

Content libraries vary by region, but account entitlements do not move automatically

Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Prime Video, and BBC iPlayer all have different content licensing scopes. The same platform may show different titles, subtitles, audio tracks, and release windows in different regions. YouTube Premium relies more heavily on the combination of account region, payment details, and current access region. The issue may not appear as a catalog change; it may instead show as an eligibility check or unavailable plan. After switching routes, the page may change immediately or update later because of account sessions and cache.

Switching routes does not automatically relocate an account. Some platforms let accounts continue using local content while traveling; others define a specific service area; some bind payment country more tightly to account eligibility. When the network region is correct but a plan is unavailable, first determine whether the cause is content licensing, service coverage, or payment-region restrictions. Only the first category is generally addressable by selecting a route for the corresponding region. The latter two usually require reviewing the account details and the platform’s rules.

Subtitles, audio tracks, and titles are regional content too

Users often focus on finding a specific title and overlook that subtitles and audio tracks are also governed by regional licensing. A region may offer the title without offering Chinese subtitles, a particular dub, or Dolby audio. Platforms may also use a local title, so searching directly by a Chinese title may return nothing. Try the original title, cast names, and the title details link, then check the audio and subtitle menus on the playback page. If the title exists but lacks the required language, switching among routes in the same region usually will not help; compare other regions licensed for that language.

Likewise, the platform home page is not the full catalog. Recommendations depend on viewing history, age ratings, account profiles, and device type. To check whether a route reaches the target catalog, search directly for a known region-limited title or open its details page. If an age restriction is enabled on a household profile, some titles disappear from search entirely; that is unrelated to the network route. Switch to a profile without age filtering before testing to avoid mistaking an account setting for a regional issue.

Reasonable expectations reduce wasted route changes

Platforms continually adjust their detection methods, so route performance can change after a platform update. One successful test should not be treated as proof that an exit will work permanently for every platform, account, and device. A more reliable approach is to keep a list of working routes for each platform, retest other routes in the same region when results change, and then inspect the account and device environment. UWVPN offers 120+ countries / 250+ routes. Choose based on the target platform and region rather than automatically pursuing the farthest location or the most unusual node name.

CHAPTER / ADDRESS

Native IP, residential IP, and datacenter IP

Understand location and network profile first

An IP’s country or region and its network profile are not the same thing. Location answers “where does the database place this address?” Network profile answers whether the address is typically used by a home broadband connection, mobile network, or data center. An address may appear in the target country but be classified as a datacenter exit; it may also belong to a local carrier yet trigger extra checks because many accounts use it at once. Evaluating a streaming route therefore requires more than checking its map location; observe whether the platform accepts that exit’s usage pattern.

Native IP generally refers to consistency among registration data, route announcements, and the actual exit region. This can produce a more consistent result in regional databases, but “native” is not a universal certification label issued by every platform, nor does it guarantee playback. Databases update at different speeds, and platforms add their own risk models. An IP lookup showing the correct region does not mean the platform’s internal database has already synchronized. When location results conflict, trying another route in the same region is often more direct than waiting for a cache to refresh.

Benefits and limits of residential IPs

Residential IPs generally come from network ranges intended for ordinary home users, so their traffic profile more closely resembles a household connection. For platforms that pay close attention to network type, these exits may sometimes pass regional checks more easily. Residential resources are not inherently stable: carriers may assign addresses dynamically, route quality changes with local conditions, and an address may face extra checks because of previous usage. When choosing a residential route, evaluate both playback authorization and long-session stability, not just whether the first page opens.

Residential routes can also have the pattern “correct region, indirect return path.” Even after platform authorization succeeds, video segments still need to be delivered continuously through a content delivery network. If the cross-border link between the user and the exit is unstable, playback may buffer even when the exit itself is close to the platform’s servers. For high-quality viewing, evaluate a route twice: first confirm authorization and the catalog, then confirm continuous playback. Only a route that passes both tests is suitable as a long-term default.

Datacenter IPs are not automatically unusable

Datacenter IPs come from data centers and usually offer clear routing and ample capacity, making them suitable for websites, downloads, AI Tools, and general cross-border access. Some streaming platforms also accept certain datacenter ranges normally. The issue is that platforms can identify heavily shared datacenter exits more easily. Dense logins or account activity across regions from the same address may cause it to be flagged as a proxy environment. Do not automatically exclude every datacenter route; choose according to the target platform’s actual authorization result.

Relay, direct, and IEPL routes describe how traffic travels between the user and the exit. Native, residential, and datacenter describe the exit address profile; neither group replaces the other. An IEPL route may connect to a datacenter exit or another network profile, and a direct route may use a residential address. On the Routes page, consider link type and target region separately, then use the platform’s actual authorization result to determine whether the exit matches. Do not infer one technical property merely because a name contains another technical term.

The final choice should reflect the specific need. If the main goal is reaching a target catalog, prioritize the exit region and platform authorization. For long high-quality sessions, add link stability to the evaluation. If the same device also handles work, AI Tools, and downloads, account for split-routing rules and everyday latency. No single label replaces the full assessment. Recording the platform, region, exit profile, link type, and playback result is more reliable than bookmarking one route name.

CHAPTER / PLATFORMS

Detection differences across major platforms

Netflix and Disney+

Netflix catalogs vary by access region, and titles, search results, subtitles, and audio tracks may all change. When the platform detects a mismatched exit, it may show a proxy warning directly or offer only a narrower range of content. Test with a title details page whose regional availability you know instead of relying on home-page recommendations. If the web version works but the TV app does not, first check whether the TV is still using old DNS, an old app session, or another exit configured on the router. Signing out is usually not the first step; fully closing the app and resetting the network state preserves more troubleshooting clues.

Disney+ is sensitive to consistency among service availability, the account environment, and the access exit. Common symptoms include a login loop, an unavailable region, or a page that browses normally but fails at playback. Browser and app results may differ because apps read more device signals and retain sessions longer. First confirm that the route region is within the platform’s service area, then check the account’s creation region and app-store region. Changing the device time zone alone is usually insufficient and may create another inconsistency.

HBO Max and Hulu

HBO Max branding and service entry points may vary by region, as does title licensing. An old bookmark or a historical search result may send you to an entry point that does not fit the current region. Sign in again from the platform’s current home page, then find the title. If the page keeps redirecting, clear the site data and make sure the browser is not running another proxy extension at the same time. Layering multiple network tools can send the main page and media requests through different exits, which often causes redirect loops.

Hulu has a more concentrated service area, and account and payment regions have a stronger effect. Even with an exit in the target region, a mismatch in account eligibility or payment details may prevent subscription or playback. When an anonymous-proxy warning appears, try another exit in the same region, then check DNS and browser extensions. If every route shows the same message after login while the logged-out home page works, the account state is more likely the cause. Repeatedly changing nodes offers little value; review the specific requirements shown in the account page.

YouTube Premium and Prime Video

YouTube Premium does not determine access from the current exit alone. It also combines the Google account region, payment details, and plan availability. Normal videos playing does not mean Premium eligibility can be activated or renewed in the current region. If the page asks you to verify the country, first confirm that the account details and payment method comply with platform rules rather than rapidly switching among regions. Frequent changes to the login environment may trigger extra verification and make a clear problem harder to diagnose.

Prime Video is closely connected to the shopping account system. Access region, account country, default address, payment details, and title-specific licensing may all affect the result. Sometimes the home page is browseable but a location notice appears only at playback; sometimes the same title belongs to a different channel or requires an extra purchase in another region. Check the entitlement type on the title details page, then review the account country. Do not mistake “rental required” for a route failure, and do not assume changing the exit automatically changes the entire Amazon marketplace region.

BBC iPlayer’s local availability requirements

BBC iPlayer provides content for the UK region and, in addition to the network exit, may require viewers to confirm applicable viewing conditions under its rules. If the page opens but the Play button is unavailable, read the current message and determine whether the issue is regional, account-related, or tied to the playback environment. Strict browser privacy settings, blocked scripts, or abnormal media permissions can also prevent the player from initializing. Test with a standard browser configuration first, then restore extensions and filtering rules to quickly isolate local blocking.

Platform rules differ, so success on one platform cannot be used to predict results on another. The most effective approach is to keep separate test records for each platform and note the device type. Passing in a browser does not guarantee that the TV app will pass, and working on a home network does not mean a mobile network’s cache has updated. During testing, keep the account, device, and client settings fixed and change only the route. Once you identify a working exit, restore split routing and other extensions gradually. This produces more stable conclusions and makes it easier to roll back when conditions change.

CHAPTER / QUALITY

Bandwidth planning for 4K and Dolby Vision

High quality needs sustained throughput, not just a momentary speed peak

Streaming platforms use adaptive bitrate. The player selects video quality dynamically based on download speed over time, buffer length, packet loss, and latency changes. A high peak on a speed-test page does not mean playback can sustain the same throughput. For cross-border viewing, stability matters more: repeated brief pauses make the player lower the bitrate to avoid a complete interruption, so the picture starts sharp, becomes soft, and later recovers.

Do not judge 4K availability solely by the platform’s theoretical recommended value. Encoding, frame rate, dynamic range, and audio tracks vary by title, changing the actual data rate. Even one title may use different bitrates during the opening, fast-motion scenes, and dark scenes. A more practical method is to watch the client traffic curve and player status: let the buffer build, seek to a complex scene, and confirm that quality holds and recovers quickly after seeking. If every seek causes a long wait, available headroom is insufficient.

Dolby Vision also depends on the device chain

Whether Dolby Vision appears depends on more than the network. The account plan, source title, player, display or TV, connection interface, system settings, and app must all support the format. If the platform shows only standard HDR or standard quality, first check whether the title details identify the target format, then check the display settings and app capabilities. A route can deliver media data smoothly; it cannot give Dolby Vision to an unsupported screen, interface, or account entitlement.

On TV setups, also check the audio and video chain. If the player connects to the display through an amplifier, converter, or capture device, an intermediate component may not support the target dynamic range, forcing a fallback format. Changing routes will not alter that result when the network is stable. Troubleshoot in this order: title and account, playback app, device output, connection chain, and only then the network. If playback is continuous but the target badge never appears, check device capabilities before blaming bandwidth.

Estimate headroom from playback behavior

There is no need to set one fixed bandwidth threshold for every household. Actual demand depends on the number of devices playing simultaneously, title encoding, and other household traffic. Plan with “average media demand × simultaneous streams + fluctuation headroom.” The headroom absorbs Wi-Fi interference, cross-border jitter, and background updates. UWVPN supports unlimited devices, but that does not mean one household connection can ignore total bandwidth; simultaneous streams still share the local network and the selected route’s capacity.

When testing, pause large-file synchronization, system updates, and cloud backups so one device can play the target content on its own. If it remains stable, restore other devices gradually. If quality drops after a task resumes, the bottleneck is more likely the household exit or Wi-Fi. If buffering continues periodically with all local tasks paused, compare other routes in the same region. One wired-network test can quickly show whether the wireless environment is the main cause. A TV being close to the router does not guarantee good wireless quality; interference from nearby networks can also cause jitter.

Treat slow starts, buffering, and low quality separately

Slow startup is usually related to the initial connection, DNS, authorization interfaces, or buffer setup. Frequent pauses during playback point more toward sustained throughput or packet loss. Persistently low quality may result from platform automation, account settings, device capability, or player throttling. These symptoms need different responses. For slow startup, try another resolution path or route in the same region. For mid-playback buffering, compare sustained stability. For low quality, check automatic quality settings, high-quality account eligibility, and device requirements first.

Plan traffic around viewing habits too. The data included with a monthly subscription resets each month on the activation date, and remaining usage can be checked in the user panel before watching high-quality content. Extra data packages remain available until used and never expire. Check the specific monthly subscriptions and data packages on the Plans page. Do not estimate total usage from a short segment of one title; encoding and runtime differences can make that result misleading.

CHAPTER / ERRORS

Common error codes and troubleshooting paths

Preserve the original message before changing anything

When an error appears, capture the full page first and record the platform, device, route region, stage, and original message. Do not immediately sign out, reinstall the app, or reset every device setting; those actions can erase useful context. An error code is only a starting point. The same code may be triggered by region, cache, network, or account state. Accurate handling depends on where it appears: an error on the home page points more toward entry and region, an error after selecting Play points toward authorization, and an interruption after several minutes is more likely related to delivery quality.

Proxy-detection errors

Netflix M7111-5059 and Hulu P-EDU101 are more closely associated with exit detection. The first step is not to change platform accounts; keep the target region fixed and switch to another route in that region. Then confirm that the browser has no extra proxy extension enabled, no second network tool is running, and DNS is controlled by the current client. If a private window works but a normal window does not, the likely causes are extensions, cache, or site data. If every device on the same home network fails, check router routing and DNS.

After changing routes, rebuild the platform connection. Refreshing only the player error page may leave the old authorization session bound to the previous exit. Close the relevant tabs or app, wait for the network switch to finish, then enter the title from the platform home page. Avoid signing into the same account from multiple countries in quick succession; this can increase scrutiny of environmental changes. The goal is to find a working exit in the same region, not to cycle through every region.

Regional and location errors

Disney+ Error 73 and Prime Video 1044 usually require checking both the network region and the account region. Confirm the exit with IP Lookup, then review the country, marketplace, or payment details in the platform account. If the logged-out home page works but a location prompt appears immediately after login, account factors take priority. If the same account works in a browser but not on a TV app, handle the TV cache, DNS, and app-store region first. Do not assume the web and app versions use identical decision logic.

A regional error can also result from incomplete split routing. If the main site uses the target route while the login domain, authorization interface, or media domain uses the local exit, the platform receives conflicting signals. Temporarily test with a global connection: if it works, return to rule mode, inspect client logs, and add unmatched platform domains to the relevant rules. Restore selective routing after testing so other local services do not take an unnecessary detour.

Device-data and player-initialization errors

Netflix UI-800-3 and BBC iPlayer 02001 should not automatically be interpreted as regional blocking. They may involve saved device data, player scripts, media permissions, network interruptions, or a temporary service state. Fully quit the app and restart the network connection, then retest with the same route. In a browser, temporarily disable content-filtering extensions and allow required scripts and protected media components to run. If changing routes makes no difference but clearing site data restores playback, the main issue is likely the local session.

If the cause is still unclear after comparing routes in the same region, testing global mode, checking DNS, and restarting the app, sign in to the user panel and submit a support ticket. Describe the sequence of actions rather than only the final result. For example, “the home page opens, search works, and the code appears after selecting Play” is easier to diagnose than “the platform does not work.” You can also consult VPN Beginner FAQ for basic client and connection checks.

CHAPTER / ROUTING

Choose a route for your viewing needs

Define the platform and content region first

The first step is not finding the “fastest node,” but defining the target platform, title, and region. A title may be available in several regions with different subtitles, dubs, or membership entitlements. Confirm the catalog you actually need, then filter by country or region on the Routes page. Frequent switching without a clear target constantly changes account sessions and cache, making troubleshooting harder.

After choosing the region, compare route types within that region. Direct routes have a simple path and suit networks with good routing from the local carrier to the target region. Relay routes enter an optimized gateway before reaching the target exit, which can reduce uncertainty on some cross-border paths. IEPL routes emphasize an organized, stable cross-border transport path. Route type describes the transport path and does not directly promise platform authorization. The final standard remains the results across catalog access, playback, and continuous viewing.

The closest location is not always best for the target catalog

Physical distance mainly affects baseline latency, but streaming also depends on the exit region, the platform’s content-delivery entry point, and the cross-border path. For users in Asia, routes through Japan or Singapore may be shorter, but if a title is available only in the US or UK catalog, the region requirement comes first. Separate the choice into two layers: lock in a region with the desired content, then compare stability within that region. Do not trade the correct catalog for low latency in a nearby but unsuitable region.

For devices used mainly for ordinary websites and short videos, a responsive nearby route may be suitable. For a TV or home theater, fix a route that passes authorization and remains stable during continuous playback. UWVPN supports unlimited devices, allowing different devices to use different connections for different purposes, but household total bandwidth and router capacity still matter. Switching the same account between regions across multiple devices may also create frequent changes visible to the platform, so keep the main viewing device on a relatively consistent exit.

Judge peak-hour stability, not one-off speed tests

Cross-border performance is affected by the local carrier, gateway congestion, international routing, and the target platform’s content-delivery network. A route that performs well during the day may behave differently during your usual viewing hours. When keeping route notes, test a complete clip during your actual viewing time and observe startup speed, quality retention, and seek recovery. A one-off speed test is useful for ruling out obvious problems quickly, but it cannot replace sustained playback.

If a route occasionally buffers at high quality, compare other routes in the same region before changing countries. Changing countries may alter the catalog and account environment, turning a speed issue into a regional issue. If all routes in the same region perform similarly, check household Wi-Fi, background synchronization, and the local carrier path. One wired test can separate a home wireless issue from a cross-border issue.

Split-routing rules must cover the complete playback path

Rule mode suits everyday use, but a platform rarely uses just one domain. The main site, login, images, authorization, subtitles, and media segments may use separate domains and may call public content-delivery networks. When rules are incomplete, the typical result is that some parts of the page work while other resources fail. Switch to global mode first to confirm the cause. If global mode works, inspect client connection records, find requests using the wrong exit, and add the missing rules.

Do not copy an extremely long rule set from an unknown source. The more rules it contains, the harder conflicts and stale entries are to maintain. Prefer the stable rules provided by the client and add entries only for clearly unmatched platform domains. Restart the platform app after changing rules so old connections are not reused. If routing is enabled on the router, computer, and browser, make clear which layer is responsible. Overlapping rules can make the route name look correct while actual requests use another exit.

For long-term use, add short notes to route records, such as the platform, target region, device, and common issues. When platform policies change, retest alternatives in the same region first, then update the record. Do not turn one result into a permanent conclusion. To compare subscription services across speed, stability, streaming, and support, read Hands-on Comparison of Major Acceleration Services. To assess the risks of a long-term subscription, see How to Choose a Long-Term Subscription.

CHAPTER / ACCOUNT

Account region, payment region, and complete troubleshooting

The account region is not a mirror of the current exit

Streaming accounts usually retain their creation region, primary marketplace, payment details, and historical usage environment. Switching the network exit does not change these details automatically. A platform may allow travel access to local content, or it may require the account and payment regions to remain consistent. When a plan is unavailable, the pricing page looks unusual, or payment fails, check the region information in the platform account settings before changing routes again. The network can change the access location, but it cannot replace the platform’s account-eligibility controls.

The app-store region may also be part of the subscription flow. When subscribing in an iOS or Android app, payment is processed by the relevant store. A mismatch between the store account region and the streaming account region can make a plan invisible, cause renewal failures, or disrupt purchase restoration. This is unrelated to video-transfer speed. If playback works on the web but in-app purchasing does not, check the store account and platform rules first instead of treating the client route as the only variable.

Payment details must follow platform requirements

Platforms differ in their requirements for payment instruments, billing regions, and account marketplaces. A route in a particular region does not mean every payment profile can be used there. Do not enter inaccurate account information just to match a network exit, and do not repeatedly try different marketplaces in a short period. Read the payment requirements currently shown by the platform and use a method consistent with the account details and platform rules. If the platform does not support the current account region, changing the network cannot remove the eligibility restriction.

UWVPN supports Alipay / WeChat Pay / USDT, requires no email address to create an account, and lets you set up an account with a username and password. These are UWVPN’s access requirements and are unrelated to membership payment rules for Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, YouTube Premium, Prime Video, or BBC iPlayer. Treat the two account systems separately: a UWVPN plan provides cross-border network connectivity, while a streaming membership provides content access entitlements. Do not apply one service’s payment prompts to the other.

Reproduce the issue in the smallest environment

For complex issues, return to a minimal test environment: one fixed device, one platform account, one target region, and one route, with other proxy extensions and custom DNS temporarily disabled. Confirm the IP location first, then sign in from the platform home page, search for the target title, and start playback. If the minimal setup works, restore split-routing rules, browser extensions, home-router settings, and other devices one at a time. The layer where the problem returns is usually the cause.

If the minimal setup still fails, keep the account and device unchanged and switch only to another route in the same region. This shows whether the issue follows the exit. If every route in that region produces the same account message, check the account region and payment details. If the error changes with the route, exit detection is more likely. If the browser works but the app fails, check app cache, store region, and device permissions. If no platform connects, return to client connectivity and the local network instead of continuing to investigate one platform.

Keep reusable troubleshooting records

Keep a troubleshooting record without sensitive information, including the date, platform, device, target region, route name, exit location, failure stage, and actions taken. Do not record passwords, payment details, or subscription links. The value lies not in collecting screenshots but in preserving the order in which variables changed. When platform policies shift, you can retest from the most recently successful combination instead of trying random settings again.

When requesting support, follow the same principle of clear variables. State whether Quick Start has been completed, whether other websites work, which stage the target platform fails at, and how other routes in the same region perform. If the issue affects only one device, include its operating system and connection method. UWVPN supports Windows / macOS / iOS / Android / Linux. Client labels may differ, but the core process—fix the region, check the exit, rebuild the session, and compare routes in the same region—remains the same.

If you have not completed the basic connection setup, return to Quick Start and follow the main path. To choose a data allowance, see Plans. Monthly subscriptions include ¥9.9/month with 60GB, ¥18/month with 250GB, and ¥28/month with 500GB. Data resets monthly on the activation date, and mid-cycle upgrades are prorated by the remaining days. Data packages include ¥158/300GB, ¥358/1000GB, and ¥658/3000GB; they remain available until used and never expire. All plans can be evaluated under the 60-day no-questions-asked refund policy.
