Hong Kong Broadband Network Limited (HKBN), a wholly owned subsidiary of City Telecom (HK) Limited announced the official launch of its bb1000 service, a symmetric 1Gbps for the Residential market. HKBN believes that Hong Kong is the first market in the World whereby 1/3rd of the total households, approximately 800,000 households out of a total of 2.2 million households, can now enjoy World Leading FTTH (Fibre-to-the-Home) symmetric 1Gbps Internet access service.
Heres a Link to their website regarding the 1GBPS FTTH architecture.

1Gbps... I would ask my dad to get it in Hong Kong in a heartbeat but none of our house equiptment and network can support 1Gbps... our LAN network was built back in 2000 or 1999 and we only did 100Mbps and Gigabit routers will be ridiculously expensive.
Does anyone know if they have this service anywhere else in the world for residential users or is Hong Kong the first one again after offering 100mbps about 2 years ago?
