Exclamation Banking, Finance, Tax, Broadband

Banking
Living in the UK now, i have (sterling) accounts at HSBC offshore, and Citibank. Whats the easiest thing to do,, just call my bank here and ask them to open an account in HK? Also I've seen elsewhere that people dont like HSBC there,, why is that?

Tax
I hear that you get taxed at 16%. Sounds good. What about offshore earnings (ie investment earnings?) are they taxable? Also , if i leave the UK in August, should i be able to claim back some tax from here this year?

Broadabnd
Are there a few providers for fast broadband there? I'm used to a pretty good connection here in London.

Also , I'm moving there with my wife,,, whats the story with the marriage benefit for tax>??
