ADSL Speed Increase in Beijing China
The common speed with ADSL services in China are still 512KB to 1MB per second. However, in order to secure and expand the market, Beijing Telecom has just recently decided to increase the ADSL Internet service speed to 2MBPS. The new speed is twice or somewhere even four times faster than the previous services. All ADSL users in Beijing may apply to upgrade.
This "speed competition" was started by BBN, who has upgraded their customers' ADSL speed form 512K to 1M late in 2004. From doing so, BBN successfully took over 70% of ADSL coverage in Beijing. Beijing Telecom now offers a higher speed and some nice deals such as free installation (used to cost 300 RMB / 45 CAD$), 300-1000 RMB discount on the annual service fee. This is a great start for the Chinese Internet service consumers. It's about time to see some great acceleration on the Internet speed over mainland China.
