I think I'm going to sign for the Internet offer, even if I'm going to stay only a year in Hong Kong.
Hopefully I will find somebody to take over my contract before leaving...
thanks
The bandwith to the US is pretty bad at times and the Tech Support is lousy. I was getting better speeds on a 6m PCCW line than a 100M HKBN Fibre connection.
I was "Guaranteed" 20MB overseas bandwith which is why I signed up but a week after the contract was signed ...and I discovered that I was getting less than 4MB at most times.

What speeds to the US were you getting before on your 6M PCCW line?
Hi Friends,
I have just signed up with HKBN 100M connection, as per them my mobile no is registered to get free IDD30 service for 6 months... which mean I should get 30 min IDD call to any country per month for free... Does anybody have any idea how to use this service? to use this free min which no shall I put before the destination no?... Can anybody help me please....
It certainly won't be 30 mins to any country - probably to the usual list of something like US, Canada, UK (fixed only), Australia (fixed only), China, Singapore, NZ (fixed), Japan (fixed), Taiwan (fixed, and maybe some other European countries.
The code you dial is 0030<country code><number>

Close to 6-7M on a 8M line. Sorry my PCCW line was 8M and not 6.
With HKBN at times CNN, Facebook, Yahoo many US sites do not load. They guarantee 20M speeds but I at times I have dialup speeds to the US. The bandwith seems get worse late evenings and during weekends/holidays.
Its not very stable and I regret moving from PCCW. Also the CS cannot figure out why only "Foreigners" complain about slow speeds. My contract is up soon and i'm switching back to Netvigator.
@Fenix
I pay $259 a month for this and am not on the cheap $99 deal.
