True unlimited data SIM options
Looking to put together a list of TRUE unlimited data options. This is all I have to contribute at this moment:

AFAIK, my DoCoMo smartphone has no data limits unless they're both very large and buried in the fine print somewhere. At least, I've used ~15GB in a month a few times without paying anything more than normal. I'm pretty sure that SoftBank and au have similar plans.

Sorry for the confusion. Let me clarify unlimited in the context of this conversation.
Unlimited means no data cap or throttling when certain limits are exceeded. Truly in every interpretation, Unlimited.
In this case the NTT mentioned before cannot be considered for the same reasons I do not consider my Softbank service to be unlimited as I am limited by two conditions:
1. 1 gig in 3 days initiates a throttle. No way out until it expires.
2. 7 gig in 1 month initiates a throttle, which you can selectively pay your way out of.
I hit the (1.) condition quite a bit, it's annoying.
thanks,
RDP

For me I will just get a secondary SIM as you will go beyond (2) anyway, that you will need to pay, and use the WIFI hotspot once every now and then...
OR alternatively, check this if it fits your need better

yes, it's way more expensive, but you don't hit those roadblocks at all
