RE: [tlug] J-COM cable Internet

Cheers, thanks for the link. I just called them up and enquired about
getting the service...the guy said that I couldnt get it in my apartment
(gaijin house really)...which is very odd, because at least 4 other guys
have it! Obviously they have not updated their database or soemthing. I
didnt want to get into the issue...I didnt want to push my bad japanese too
far.

John De Hoog mentioned in a thread that has been happening just
today on the Tokyo PC Users Group newsgroups, that is no longer
true but they haven't updated their English website.

It wouldn't surprise me if this were still the case.
