HUH??? That's a joke right?  In Japan, since 2001 -- possibly earlier
-- you've been able to get 256 kbps over mobile, unmetered, for 20
quid a month.  Nowadays of course it's much faster, and cheaper,
though not as fast as the 100+ Mbps you can get in Japanese cities to
your wired house.

This is stupid.  DON'T accept it.  DON'T sign up for these stupid
rates.  Do ask your politians what they're going to do to force these
tired uncompetitive monopolies to provide real connectivity.
