Internet speed and cost is purely sickening. I was in Singapore recently and i was looking at the advertisements of some providers offering 15MB speed connections for under $7o then i see this one. People in Hong Kong will be enjoying 100Mbps Internet speed at 50% of its original price. All they have to do is introduce a friend, and both of them get the half price benefit, paying only USD$13 a month each. Before you go ,no way they will be getting that kinda speeds, They’re guaranteed at least 80% of the advertised speed!

Now the amusing part :

William Yeung, Chief Executive Officer of HKBN noted that at least 32% of Internet users in Hong Kong suffer from broadband speeds below 10Mbps, and the Hong Kong special administrative region of the People’s Republic of China lags behind Korea and Japan in terms of fiber to the home service, something Yeung would like to see changed.

When 10Mb is considered suffering, they have no clue what we Malaysians suffer from! I hope the day would come when we in Malaysia too start enjoying such speeds at affordable rates. Till then we can just hope……

Check out some of their advertisements
