Re: [tlug] True Gigabit ISP in Tokyo?

> Depending on where you live, if it's an apartment building, it's possible the fiber only reaches the building, and inside the building it's only ADSL, limiting the possible bandwidth you can have in your home. That's how it is for me anyway. But you might've already checked that.

Sorry for not being clear. The problem I have (with Softbank) is that their plan is advertised a gigabit speed but there is a big asterix to this. You *must* use a Softbank BB-Unit *and* pay an extra monthly rental fee. And that 'asterix' isn't mentioned in their advertising ...

The hidden extra cost and required extra hardware is what irks me.
