Internet

I feel like I need to dedicate a post to the internet service here because it is so much better than back at home. The more time I spend doing things on the computer, the more I loathe the service that I pay for with Charter.

Back at home, I pay about $50/month for 5Mbps internet and get actual download speeds of 2-3Mbps. The average cost of internet access in Tokyo is about $45, but you can get speeds up to 100Mbps!!

Here in my apartment the internet is included, and the highest speed I have tested my service to is 42Mbps. That is 14 times faster than my "high speed internet" back at home!
