I'm thinking of moving to Sai Kung, and I've heard that some places can't get broadband TV and/or Internet because there aren't enough connections. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Also, do you know if it's possible to ring up PCCW , tell them the address and they will tell you if broadband is available?

I think that is the process by default. They ask you where you live first. HGC also do this and you could compare their offerings too.

I live in Sai Kung district - basic broadband service is available everywhere, including Sai Kung.

NOW TV from PCCW is also available if a 6MB line is available to your address. Don't know of any other provider that covers Sai Kung area - yet.

Thanks, I am interested in broadband TV (not cable) as well as Internet, so I think PCCW is my best/only option? (I'm currently living in university accommodation that is connected to the university's Internet, so I haven't had to worry about that before). Not having broadband TV and Internet would be pretty much a deal breaker as far as I'm concerned!

Do be careful. PCCW do offer broadband packages everywhere BUT there are villages where they have run out of lines. So check frst. A friend of mine will get his broadband in July, but he has been waiting since February and his village is "covered" by PCCW.

Thanks jaykay, that's confirmation of what I suspected. I will definitely check first.
