PCCW Launches FMC Packages over FTTx

PCCW announced the release of PCCW 1000M+, which packages NETVIGATOR Fiber Direct 1000M optical fiber connectivity and wireless broadband services with unrivalled coverage of Hong Kong.

With a 25-year history of building out its optical fiber network, PCCW is ready to serve a majority of Hong Kong households with the new service. PCCW 1000M+ - the Company's optical fiber connectivity platform, together with its wireless broadband solutions, reinforces the Company's vision to provide world-class connectivity to our customers, at home and on-the-go.

A total network solution package "1000M" provides customers with the high speed connectivity of NETVIGATOR Fiber Direct 1000M, together with NETVIGATOR Everywhere, the unique wireless broadband solution integrating High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), 3G and Wi-Fi services, and a high-definition TV experience. The service offers customers the most reliable and stable broadband experience everywhere - both on fiber and on wireless!

Another package "100M" comes with NETVIGATOR Fiber Direct 100M, a citywide wireless connectivity via over 3,000 PCCW Wi-Fi hotspots, as well as a high-definition TV experience. These broadband solutions, which also include a round-the-clock customer service support, are tailor-made to satisfy today's bandwidth-hungry applications.

PCCW Consumer Group Managing Director Tom Chan said: "We are pleased that so many PCs now support GE (Gigabyte Ethernet) port, which makes the timing perfect for rolling out this super-broadband service to meet the needs of Hong Kong's techno-savvy 'digital citizens'."

He added: "As a world-class player in Information & Communications Technologies (ICT), we aim at not only extending transmission speed of as fast as 1000Mbps to as many households as possible, but also anticipating and meeting the heavy bandwidth needs of new applications. We will be providing a 1250Mbps service on our networks soon and expect to roll out even faster broadband services later in 2008."

Customers can enjoy the newly launched 100M and 1000M services for just HK$588 and HK$2,188 respectively per month.

PCCW serves customers with an extensive and growing optical fiber network - the length of fiber deployed to-date is long enough to circle the planet 26 times! The newly offered PCCW 1000M+ platform further enhances the Company's positioning as Hong Kong's premier broadband provider, with a proven track record for reliability, a diverse portfolio of speeds and value-added services to suit different customer needs, and the most ubiquitous coverage including the territory's most extensive deployment of optical fiber and wireless technologies.
