+1 to Wiyo.

Currently in Jeju, as of this post. I get around 15mbps down and up in the city, the east and the South rural areas.

Was at seoul for a day as well and got 30mbps down in the subway. Definitely faster if on a more open space with even better coverage.

Most importantly, coverage has been very good overall. Wiyo uses LG U+ btw, it's one of the big 3 companies in Korea. Not some unknown telco.

Offtopic - those planning to come to Jeju in the next few weeks be prepared to endure daily rain from dusk till night. It's not heavy but it's drizzly enough that it can and will hamper activities.

Hi, I just make an online reservation at AJ Rent A car for Jeju, I notice there is no any deposit or advance payment require, so if I receive email from them it means my car rental is secure? Thank you!

You pay when you are there. Your reservation is secured until the day you arrive. No show with no prior notice will generally mean that you are black listed from future reservations.

Apart from Wiyo, Funtastic Korea has a 30day unlimited 4G SIM for 60k Won.

That works out to about the same as the Wiyo for 14 days.

You think the Funtastic Korea deal is worth it?
