Pretty good deal as my cell phone provider wants to charge 490 yen a month for wi-fi service at their gazillion spots.
Since we still have our LAN service (we still have a laptop not a tablet), I didn't set up our computer to use the wi-fi, just my iPhone.
Next step is to get Satoshi to start using a smartphone, though he's waiting for the iPhone 5...
Oh and our rainy season has started...let the humidity and uncomfortableness begin...
I hope the wi-fi works out well for you!
ReplyDeletehope so too K!

Hey Kat!
ReplyDeleteI was just in Japan last week and was able to rent that same exact unit for internet access on my trip. It was wonderful! :) Japan has the neatest stuff, I wish I could go back soon!
my friend said the same thing Jenny, hope you come back soon :)

We are seriously considering going with satellite internet, but I told MotH that I do not want to see a dish hanging off the terrace. To get someone to install it on the roof will probably cost a lot too, but what else can we do? Tired of being "stuck" on youtube or when a page has a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes. At one point I even disabled javascript so that pages would load faster. Grrrrr....
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you could get something through your cable company, Rowena? That is how a lot of people here get their internet service, we on the other hand are still a little "old school" and too "chang" to pay for cable.

Our internet is provided by the phone company, and already that in itself says a lot about the junk service. With a satellite set-up, we would be able to have phone, cell, internet, and cable tv all in one but it's the initial fees that is making me balk. I'd hate to get into a contract and then lose out if we suddenly gotta move.
ReplyDeleteah that makes sense Rowena, I wouldn't want to fork out a lot for the deposit either, just in case I had an opportunity to move.
