That was VERY informative and reassuring. Even though ludicrously expensive, at least there is a fiber option. Thanks, Ben. I’ll make sure to opt for a newer apartment building.

This website claims super fast Internet connection speeds for businesses:

But it’s crazy expensive and not really all that fast.

And apparently the city installed some new fast connections last December but I guess it hasn’t trickled down to residential customers yet.

Overland, you pay the same amount as Charlie and have the same provider. What’s up with the huge difference in speed? I guess it’s just hit or miss with China Telecom.

Thanks for your help, Charlie, SandWind and blacklynx! I think that if I can get Charlie’s download speed and blacklynx’s upload speed, I’d be happy.

SandWind, your download speed is 1/10th of Charlie’s. What kind of plan are you on and do you live in Metro Chengdu?

Also, do you guys have cable or ADSL internet service. I know that with DSL, if you aren’t close to one of the ISPs main stations, then speed can be slow.
