    Best internet service in Hong Kong?

    My husband and I recently moved to Hong Kong. I just want to know what are some recommendations on good and decently priced internet service here? We would like to have good bandwidth for streaming. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you!!

    You might have limited connection options depending on the building you are living in. Particularly older buildings sometimes are only serviced by one or two of the internet companies. Better to check which services are available to you.

    Having said that, as a general guide Netvigator are expensive but stable, HKBT are somewhere in the middle ground (decent connection and ok price) and i-Cable are cheap and (can be) quite slow.

    Looking at this from a UK perspective, has there been "local loop unbundling (LUL)" in Hong Kong, such that other providers can offer ADSL over the existing copper phone line / exchange infrastructure? I get the impression the answer is "no" and hence there isn't a wide range of ADSL provider choice.

    Granted, I haven't had to quite/change my service, but as a Netvigator customer since 2002 I can say I have been more than happy with their service
    Over the years I've had upgrades, modem replacements etc and have always had good service

    I am on their 1000M Fibre service (10,000 M coming soon btw...) - speed is usually great, slows down on the international side in the evenings though
