Village House/Chinese Mansion 5G Home Broadband Speed Test. Enjoy a stable network even without fibre at home

Living rural village houses and Chinese mansions, home broadband has become synonymous with “slow internet” due to the following limitations:

• Fewer home internet plans compared to other places
• Installing landlines for home broadband is very troublesome
• Only 8M landline connections are available in general, internet is so slow and laggy

As 5G network coverage continues spreading to the whole of Hong Kong, major telecommunications companies have rolled out 5G home broadband, a life changer for home internet!

• Over 10x faster than 8M internet
• No landlines, no installations. Simply plug & play
• 5G home broadband’s stability and speed are comparable to those of traditional broadband

This is a comparison of various telecom providers' 5G home broadband plans, with details of the 5G home broadband speed test in village houses/Chinese mansions located in Fanling and Sai Kung.
