| | | No other options .. Now TV or I-Cable. Take your pick ...
Generally PCCW tends to be much better than I-Cable.
Lets face the reality, that you're not going to get enterprise grade services for $199 or so a month. In this case, it is usually picking the less incompetent provider - which is PCCW. | |

| | | If you want another alternative... Try HGC Broadband for internet (have no problems with it)
tv wise as mentioned above we dont have much choice therefore nowtv over cable for me | |

| | Mike try some of the small providers like Netfront Internet Services - they'll charge a setup fee for short term contracts, but you can get out with one month's notice. | |

| | | thanks all
pccw seems better and cheaper- but the tv looks bad. i am quite keen on some of the pay channels on icable- particularly sport ones- nowtv has a big expensive sport package with about ten channels, but you get random sporting events. does anyone know if icable internet service is good in happy valley specifically? | |
