100Mbps/20Mbps for Php1,900 a month!

Yes, a new company in HongKong, Broadband Network Limited, is offering 100Mbps/20Mbps DSL connections to residential buildings across the metro. They call it the “3G” BB100 Symmetrical 100Mbps internet access which can be achieved by using Cat5-E copper cables. Introductory price starts at HK$268 or roughly Php1,900.

That’s almost the same amount I pay for my 512Kbps DSL connection with PLDT. Dang, when can we get a taste of that speed around here? ;)
