...considering I pay $40 a month for 3/684.
don't feel bad; they only have that because:

- japan has high population density
- japan meddles in business and actually passes regulations
- japan has a broadband plan for their country because they think it matters
- whatever other reasons the trolls give for why we don't have these speeds and prices

besides, as all the incumbents tell us, we don't need these speeds - it will only make you hit your cap faster - hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Yep, we fund it for them. Ever since we beat them in WWII, and started occupation. We've never left. Heck, I just read we just parked another supercarrier in one of their harbors.
