| 499586 | 2006-11-16 01:59:00 | Hong Kong Broadband Launches 1 Gbps Home Service for US$215/month Hong Kong Broadband Network (HKBN) officially launched its 1 Gbps symmetric service for the residential market. Approximately 800,000 households, out of a total of 2.2 million households in Hong Kong, are wired to receive the service. The 1 Gbps symmetric service is priced at US$215 per month. HKBN noted that its 1 Gbps service is up to 166x faster downstream and 1,950x faster upstream than the advertised bandwidth of the incumbent's ADSL service. HKBN Premium bb1000 service is being offered on the same metro Ethernet infrastructure that delivers the company's Mass Market bb100 (symmetric 100 Mbps for US$34/month) and Entry Point bb10 (symmetric 10 Mbps for US$16/month) services. http://www.ctinets.com/ |

| 499591 | 2006-11-16 08:46:00 | Your monitor screen is a window to the whole world, who cares where you live as long as it is safe and you have food and reasonable accommodation. You can always look at trees and wide open spaces on the internet anytime and you have a choice of scenery. Hi speed broadband and no caps are the paramount consideration after the necessities are taken care of. All I need is a big water proof box with the utilities connected. haha. Don't really even need windows, less burglars that way. |

Those images are from Hong Kong, my uncles place which is a damn small teeny tiny 'apartment'. The 'dirty cramped' part were my mum and brothers view of that part of HK compared to other areas. This is compared to NZ living standard. So in other words, not the more upper class area of HK. |

You said " This is compared to NZ living standard. " But you put the worst thing of HK to cmpared to NZ living standard, do this compare make any sense ! |

| 499595 | 2006-11-16 09:28:00 | Heh, Of course its going to be compared to NZ, which is a sparsely populated sheep's paradise, even our "big city" is merely a large town with a chip on its shoulder. HK is by all descriptions an over-populated rat-hole. |
