 "It's broadband! Quick install."
 "Paying $60 for 4-6 megabits when it is supposed to be 10"
 "You have no choice but get Americable if you live in Navy Housing."

Unfortunately for those of us that are moving to Japan and don't live off-base (live in Navy Housing), we are stuck with only ONE choice for broadband: Americable.
While their installation is fast, Americable overcharges for their service. For their top-tier, the advertised speeds are 10 Mbits, and actual speed tests only max out at 6, average speed of around 4. Their bottom-tier service, advertised speed of 1.5 megabits, priced at $38.95.
Not only is the speed not at or near maximum, interrupted service is always unannounced or at random, either due to maintenance or unforseen events. Americable has been good lately on emailing the customers of future outages due to maintenance. But any other outages, you will not get refunds, like Cox did back in San Diego.
