What? Internet is not expensive at all!
I have broadband and pay 6000円 per month, and my first three months were free. I hardly even notice it. And unlike in some countries, it's unlimited broadband. No bandwidth caps.
If someone told internet in Japan is expensive, that's ridiculous. The providers are the same nationwide, and so are the rates. I have the paperwork about seven feet away.
