A_XL do you use HKBN? I have been using PCCW for 4 years+ now, and despite them being an absolutely disgusting evil company who constantly tries to rip their customers off, their internet has been totally rock solid 99% of the time.

I hate to deal with their sales; but I am also glad that I don't have to deal with their tech support.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. | |

What's Shaw's upload speed for their 100Mbps connection? 5Mbps? 200GB cap?
Embarassing.
