I agree with you that most of the japanese ISP provides English support, but 
you will end up explaining in japanese later ;) or reading paper forms/faxes 
in japanese. Once upon a time i was a loyal customer to SPINNET(ATT) and then 
GOL too.. But, they are good for newbies to japan.  GOL charges ~8000 for a 
fixed IP addresss where as ASAHI-Net offers flat 700/month for ADSL and 
500/month for fixed IP address...
