    HK ISP's not connected to Caine Rd (Mid Levels) apartments?

    Hi guys, not sure if it's just me but is there a reason why most, if not all, ISPs (non PCCW) do not connect to apartments on Caine Rd, Mid Levels?? I would have thought given its location, it would be quite prominent.

    In any event, can anyone living on Caine Rd recommend any non-PCCW ISPs?? Thanks

    HKbb and some other companies won't be connected to older/smaller complexes because it doesn't make economic sense for them to pull all the wiring.

    In those properties, you'll usually only get a choice of PCCW or Cable TV (who already have cables) or a 3G broadband provider (Vodafone or one2free). I went with Cable since I wanted cable and it was cheaper and the TV package was better than PCCW. Speeds are fine and haven't had any issues.
