...The main problem is that they throttle P2P !

Any other companies that do this?

Extralan also throttle when I tried to use them although others report different results, Hinet definitely don't on my line anyway

maybe I'm getting throttled here with Vee.

Uploads on P2P get to 80% of 1M and stay there... google's speed testing thing doesn't work on Windows7 so can't confirm it yet. The Switzerland thing looks hardcore.

might have to revise my position on throttled upload as it seems to be going at 1M now..

CHT has launched their new contracts.

50/20M, 100M/20M, 100M/40M and 100M/100M !! Yeah finally symetric bandwidth.

The 100M/100M will cost you 1690TWD/month.

I've also heard that they are doing some gigabit test as well. (But won't be ready before 2014 I guess)

Yes it took a long time but for most people they will not get the 100mb up down as Hinet is giving to business customers first.

There is also a new speed test to check from Hinet as well http://speed.hinet.net/ download the speed test app. It only tests to Hinet servers.

are these the rates you're quoting? I haven't ordered internet in Taiwan before, but is there a reason to go with the fixed ip vs the dynamic ip for 100M/100M speed? The price difference is quite large, 1582 vs 809, and I'm not planning to be hosting any websites on my laptop.
