In Japan AU has a flat data rate:
data rate downlink: 2.4Mbps
flat rate: YEN 4200/month (= US$ 40.00)
Actually, what you really pay depends on the your discount
package. If you have no discount then the full rate is:
Basic subscription YEN 3013
+ EZ subscription YEN 300
+ EZ flat rate YEN 4200
Total YEN 7513 (= US$ 70)
however, some people have up to 50% discount from this.
I doubt that the T-Mobile flat plan mentioned is
at 2.4 Mbps, most likely it's 9.6kbps, which is
about 200 times slower in theory.
