Another Internet question.

Closed Thread

    Another Internet question.

    We are just moving into our new apartment that is pretty old. We didn't think to ask what the Internet max speed was, but in the end we wouldn't give this place up knowing what we know now.

    PCCW is saying their max is 8mb.
    HKBN doesn't have service.

    Who else should we contact?


    Location is on Wong Nai Chung Road just south of leighton hill road.

    iCable? Are they still around?

    8Mb is IMHO totally ok. More is better, but with 8Mb I get 1Gb in about 20 Minutes. For normal surfing there is no noticeable difference.

    iCable. They have 100mbps in some parts.

    Icable said they don't offer broadband, only tv to my building.


    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Move.

    Well, I'd move because I do a lot of heavy tech stuff. Have you consider a 4G LTE router? That might be even faster than 8mb PCCW.

    Fortunately I won't use this for work. We just signed the lease last week. But this place is really good for us in every other way. I guess you can't have it all?!

    Any suggestions on who has the best network for the purpose of a 4g router?

    I called to set up a relocation for my current PCCW. They said since the new place is a lesser package that we can get out of the remainder of our current package without any charges. I thought that was very fair.
