    The choice is very limited between slow and flaky PCCW or faster but more expensive 4G with capped or 'fair usage' restriction.

    I've had really good service on 3 HK's 3G prepaid mobile broadband package in Mui Wo - much faster speeds than PCCW ADSL - but data capped in terms of volume, after which they throttle down the speed tremendously to about GPRS speed.

    What plan are you on?

    And how much are you paying on average each month?

    I'm considering it for some better speeds... Do you get over 6Mbps?

    On the HKBN website there are actually a couple of addresses that are listed as having HKBN broadband - in Mui Wo Town and on the Rural Committee Rd. Not sure if this is actually true, but it seems no-one is willing to roll out fibre in village areas... Too much red tape for laying lines or not enough high density buildings to recoup the cost.
