I just want to know what is the best way to set up a phone line and internet? Is doing the whole thing with NTT and their B-Frets better, or by going wth NTT for the phone and Yahoo BB for the internet? I actually have an existing account with Yahoo and am wondering if I just let them know my new address/number and they can hook me up to the net right away.

Any info will be greatfully received. Cheers.

I thought Yahoo BB is owned by NTT.

We have the cable package from JCN. It comprises 100 channels of TV, amazingly fast broadband internet connection and the landline telephone. We pay 7,000 yen a month and we are happy enough with it.

Just a suggestion.

The way it works here is that you rent the line from NTT and the net access from a provider like Yahoo - if you go the ADSL route. If you go cable or fibre optic there are a lot of new companies to choose from (EO, Usen for example). It depends on the area you live in, sometimes you don't have a choice.
