Our PCCW/Netvigator fixed internet is most unreliable now - besides being very slow. We are in an area that doesn't yet have fiber.
We used to have a 4G LTE contract for 20 GB and 488 HKD per month. It was super fast, the only problem was that after 20GB, the internet stopped for the rest of the month. Well, initially it was 99 HKD for each extra GB, with no warning. One of the first months, the bill was over 7,000 HKD (!!!). With youtube and streaming, 20GB is not very much. Add to that modern tablets and smartphones, it won't take long.
When we got PCCW cable internet, we didn't have the 20GB limitation any more. Slower was OK, but now more and more unreliable - it hasn't been working at all for 5 days now, using iPhone hotspot for everything (including writing this post).
We still have this one2free router, having wifi and 4 ethernet ports built in. This meant we could connect it to our existing router (for backup, WiFi printer and so on). Looking at various websites from one2free/CSL, 3, PCCW etc, I don't see any contracts for use in such devices. Only wifi boxes with - say - 10 maximum users (and no ethernet).
Is this segment really dead in HK? Too many people living too close makes it unrealistic to offer mobile internet for "home use"? Many other countries offer competitive solutions based on 3G/4G/LTE and even other mobile networks.
Please advise ... we really want internet back again. No need for super fast internet, just a bit more reliable than what we have now. Searching for a while online now, couldn't find any.
