Does anyone have any experience with PCCW’s Gigabit broadband installation?
I have the misfortune of moving to an apartment that is only served by PCCW. So unlike many places with HKBN or 3HK fixed network I can’t get Gigabit service for HK$200/month + no upfront. Instead PCCW offer 300Mbs (I don't see a reason to ask for more since I will be using wifi) at HK$306 /month (special offer!) + HK$2,500 upfront ‘installation fee’!!
This fee isn't listed on the website. I've asked around the office and find that the installation fee seems to get waived in buildings with any form of competition.
That’s pretty cheeky but they know I don’t have a choice. The only other option is to take 18Mbs @300/mth with a $300 'transfer fee'. Anyone had any success negotiating with them in the same situation?
