    Broadband price in Repulse Bay

    Hello, I have just arrived in HK and living in Repulse Bay. I am trying to get an internet connection but I have been quoted 6000HKD connection fee by PCCW! I find this ridiculous. Also, I am only in HK for one year and it seems very difficult to get a 12 month contract. Does anyone know if there is any way around this? I have seen some ads for people transferring broadband contracts? I guess this might help on the 12 month problem, but does this avoid connection fee or I still must pay that anyway? Any advice gratefully received.

    This thread, although long, might be relevant.

    PCCW has a very location sensitive "installation fee" which you cannot get waived.

    Check with HKBN. They have a month to month for $388 a month with an install fee of $680. Their call center may be able to give you a better rate.
