As already mentioned above, Internet connections in Japan are very fast when compared with Spain.
Actually there is a wide range of companies offering Internet service provider (ISP), but there are a few like NTT, Yahoo, or USE KDDI NTT being the most common (something like Telefonica in Spain) and then there are many companies that dedicated to give support to these lines or re-sell the lines.
ADSL connections are very old in Japan, since "only" reach 10Mbps, so the connections most common are "B flets" NTT ranging to 50 or 100Mbps fiber connections ranging from 100Mbps to 1Gbps! !

Yesterday comparing prices of NTT connections " B flets "100Mbps connections and KDDI" Hikari one "I realized the price was almost the same. So you do for a little less than 6000 yen (43EUR) might have a connection to 1Gbps. This made my eyes opened like saucers desiring a connection to 1Gbps, but first had to look to see if connections KDDI offered where I live (usually the problem is that NTT is everywhere, but other companies have certain areas where they have cables, so do not reach all sides). Call and I said yes, he could have this connection in my house. When you have got to make the sum of initial cost monthly rate + + support etc, knew that the price is more than 6000 yen, so I said no because they wanted it NTT was cheaper, then be wondering exactly what kind of connection had now offered me a discount of about 1250 yen per month, so I'm the plan again for less than 6000 yen. Upon hearing this I said I wanted to offer this connection.

The only bad thing is that in Japan are very slow since the flames until your house is going to make the installation and give you the service to the Internet. This usually takes between 2 and 6 weeks, and at home with KDDI and must bring a new cable to my house, I'm told that it took 4 weeks.
Now I will tell you next week if you notice a lot of connection between 100Mbps and 1Gbps.
