5-Star Broadband Service for 5-Star InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong
June 20 2011 - 3:10AM
Hong Kong Broadband Network Limited ("HKBN", a wholly-owned
subsidiary of City Telecom (HK) Limited, (HKSE:1137) (Nasdaq:CTEL)
is pleased to announce that the InterContinental Grand Stanford
Hong Kong has upgraded to our Fibre-based 1Gbps service, i.e. a
leading 5-Star Broadband Service for a leading 5-Star Hotel.
Before the Internet upgrade, the hotel, like many top hotels in
Hong Kong, had the modest Internet bandwidth of 25Mbps across the
hotel. InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong took the
initiative to enlarge its bandwidth to 1Gbps since due to the
changes in the hotel guest's usage pattern, and it became an
opportunity for the hotel to stand apart from its competition.
InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong's Sunny Li, Director
of I.T. said, "We discovered that the in-room movie viewing was
quite popular, but the changing of habits have caused this demand
to decline in favor of web surfing and alternative media such as
YouTube, online movies, TV, music, drama and news channels. It is
therefore essential that we meet guest expectations and the (HKBN)
1Gbps service provides the tools to do that. In contrast to the
criticism that we previously received about Internet services, we
have achieved positive feedbacks praising the smooth, fast response
of our Internet service."
HKBN's Managing Director of Corporate Division, John Chong,
commented on the project: "Over the last 12 years, HKBN has
invested heavily in international and local bandwidth and our
present 1Gbps DIA service is unsurpassed in security, availability
and technical support services."
