If you are talking B-Flets, the cheap one is only dedicated to the
nearest branch.  It is called something like family? plan
~5,000yen/mon.  The much more expensive Basic Plan ~10,000yen/mon is
dedicated the whole way.  In reality there is not so much difference
because very few people seem to use the family plan.
