We've just been discussing this in one of the Tokyo PC Users Group
newsgroups <URL:news://news.tpc.ml.org/tpc.internet> (well, okay,
without the Linux slant :-).

Perhaps the most important consideration is telephone charges.  If you live
within the Tokyo (03) area code, you have a large number of providers to
choose from.  If you are in one of the suburbs, it may be worth your while
to select a provider that has a local access point.  (There are new
telephone company programs that reduce costs calling to neighboring areas
which makes this a bit more involved to figure out recently.)
