Hey all,
I've lived in Horizon Suite Hotel for almost 2 years and have been enjoying their 10 megabits per second up/down ethernet based Internet service for about $180 per month. Anyway I had my Hote contract under my HK corporation's name, including the Internet service.
Since the Hotel is asking for $2000 more per month now for a new contract, we decided to move to a flat in Ma on Shan Centre.
Does anyone know if any of the flats there support ethernet service? From what I've seen, they only offer DSL which kind of blows but we'll only be there for like a year before buying a flat.
What is the best ISP for downloading stuff from the U.S. AND also has good upload speeds? I've been spoiled with 10Mbps uploads so I'm going to get something with at least 1 megabit of upload speed or more.
So far we've looked at HGC but those morons charge more if you are setting up a contract under a business name and give you LESS speed. According to the sales person on the street, they charge almost $400 a month for 6 megabits if it's under a business name...which is a COMPLETE RIPOFF unless it's 6 megabits up and down and $180 a month for 10 megabits down if it's under a personal name.
Does anyone know if the HGC business account is any better, because I don't see how they get justify such a rip off price if the service isn't any better? Like I said if it's 6 megabits up and down that isn't too bad compared with 10 megabits down and 500Kbps up.
HGC is the first company that is charging MORE for slower service just because it's setup under a business. I have my mobile service and my vodaphone wireless broadband Internet service under my company name and they didn't charge me a penny extra.
Is PCCW any better? What other options are out there? I hear from some people that HGC provides absolute crap customer service since Li Ka Shing is the cheapest bastard in Hong Kong.
What flats offer ethernet based Internet service? Is it common or still rare? When I am ready to buy a flat, I would much rather get my Internet through ethernet not DSL.
