Hi Rickman...
There are a few companies now that offer cheap calls. You can call the USA for as little as 12 yen a minute from a fixed line phone... slightly more from a mobile. Apparently if you have Yahoo Broadband, you can call USA for a lot less than that.
High speed internet connection is everywhere ... To give a very general answer, count on about 5000 per month (that would include phone line rental aswell).
I pay 7000 per month for cable TV + internet.

Yahoo broadband is the best I know of. I pay about 5000/month for high speed connection and calls to Canada are 12 yen/min. U.S. is 2.5 yen/min (lucky dogs). I guess that is the price for freedom.  |
