The 10gbit connection costs me ¥5,000/mo (around USD 30/mo), which was actually slightly cheaper than I was paying for 1 Gbit...

The main issue is latency and bandwidth across the oceans since Asia far away from the US where a lot of servers live, and even for services that are distributed, I live in a rural prefectural capitol of Japan 1000 km away from Tokyo where all the "Japan" data centers are, so my ping is always unimpressive despite the bandwidth.
