just an anecdote real quick.

So I stayed on a small guest house on the southern outskirts of Toyko a
couple of weeks ago and along with the luxury of getting breakfast with
my $80 a night 9-tatami room, the complimentary wifi shared with 4 other
guests had v4 and v6 provided via kddi residental vdsl. My hostess who
was 75 if she was a day had email down pretty well but I wouldn't
characterize her a technical user.
