    Home broadband, Avignon near Gold Coast

    Hi

    We have recently moved to Hong Kong and have an apartment in the Avignon, near the Gold Coast. Can anyone help with Internet providers?

    PCCW claim our address is 'special' so are unsure if they can provide us Internet. HK Broadband say they do not service this address.

    Help!? For any other avignon residents.- who did you go with for Internet.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Scottishgirl.

    Hi,
    I live in Avignon and PCCW provides the connection. 1Gbit is the maximum speed

    I have friends in avignon who are clearly online so somebody provides it! The building is new so probably just some pccw staff are unaware of procedures.

    For the record, I just downloaded a 5.8GB file from a US server, using a 20-thread parallel download... It peaked at around 52MB/sec, and the sustained average over the whole file was almost exactly 40,000KB/sec

    Downloaded 5846.8 megabytes in 2:29 seconds. (40056.62 KB/s)
    In other words, that's a sustained download speed on PCCW fibre, in the middle of the afternoon, of well over 300mbit.
