Rakuten Mobile's 'Rakuten Turbo' Achieves Top Customer Satisfaction Ranking
In a recent survey conducted by Oricon, Rakuten Mobile's innovative 5G-compatible home router, the
Rakuten Turbo, has secured the first place in the newly established category for home routers in the
2026 Oricon Customer Satisfaction Ranking. This accolade highlights the router's ease of use, allowing customers to create a Wi-Fi environment at home simply by plugging it into a power outlet without the need for installation work.
Highlights from the Survey
The survey revealed that Rakuten Turbo excelled in several evaluation criteria, earning the highest marks in
four out of six categories: ease of subscription and activation, pricing and promotions, cost performance, and customer support. Additionally, it received high ratings for communication comfort and perceived cost-effectiveness, demonstrating its overall excellence in customer service and satisfaction.
Moreover, Rakuten Mobile’s optical line service,
Rakuten Hikari, also made headlines by achieving the top spot in the
internet service provider category. This underscores the company’s growing reputation in the telecommunications market.
Categories and Rankings
The
2026 Oricon Customer Satisfaction Ranking unveiled two main categories:
- - Home Router Ranking
- - Internet Service Provider Ranking
In terms of home routers, customers rated Rakuten Turbo not only on overall satisfaction but also on key metrics that matter most to them.
Customer-Centric Services and Programs
Rakuten Mobile has continuously focused on enhancing the digital lifestyles of its customers through various services and campaigns. From March 2025, the company has launched the
Greatest Home Program, allowing customers to benefit from internet access at home and on the go at an affordable price. This program makes the
Rakuten Turbo available for effectively free with the right service package.
Additionally, many promotional campaigns are underway, including the
Rakuten Turbo Campaign, which offers new customers the device itself for zero upfront cost, and the
Rakuten Hikari Campaign, which covers installation fees entirely. These programs are designed to make transitioning to a better internet experience economically feasible for all.
Furthermore, if customers bundle
Rakuten Turbo or
Rakuten Hikari with qualifying Rakuten Group services, they can take advantage of the
SPU (Super Point Up Program), doubling their points earned while shopping at
Rakuten Ichiba. Essentially, this means potential rewards of up to
six times the points when both services are used together, enhancing daily savings and convenience.
