So when everybody saying Asia is expensive for its bandwidth, how much does 100Mbps and 1Gbps should cost in Hong Kong?

Also wanna know, just curious -- not asking for quotes -- that, if someone is offering $90-100 1U colo for 1 IPv4, 3A power socket(as-is how they told me) and 1000Mbps(local, 20Mbps for oversea), is it a good deal? Or I could get better than that?

(Wanna keep things budget-friendly, as usual, here's lowendtalk, not really got a deep pocket to back myself up.)

  • What provider is it from? 3A is around 660 watts, so should be plenty for a 1u server.

    A fishy provider, a subsidy of a subsidiary company, which is a subsidiary company of a local broadband network provider.

    Depending on network quality between 500$ for 100Mbit HE/HKIX blend over 1000$ for some quality (Hutchinson, NWT, Diyixian) and 2000-2500$ for good quality (think PCCW plus other blended BW) up to 10000$ for good quality direct China (100$/Mbit).

    Gbit gives you some negotiation room but general pricing will not get less than 5$/Mbit. 10G gets you some better deals.

    Your offer is too low - You can't even get 3A power alone for 100$ in HK....
