Simcard not much different, CU should have better coverage.
Telstra Global IP transit (not Pacnet) and handoff at Telstra PoP in Mega-I HK with 100M costs 'Commit Per Mbps price: $60/M'. Per Mbps burst rate is at higher costs.
Price is on 12 months contract term and excludes local loop charge.
I don't think the HK market is suitable unless you can purchase at 1GE+ commits.
TeliaSonera HK has better deals but that is without any direct peering with mainland ISPs.
With Flag Telecom in HK, the cost is also much lower than Telstra but for users in China, they will be routed through NTT JP.
Verizon HK is also very expensive on low commits (less than 100Mbps).
Telstra are offering much much cheaper rates ATM. Who's paying $60 /Mbit?
They will do as little as US$2.50 /mbit on a 1G commitment. Which is really quite good. But they only do 10G ports which means the local loop costs as much as the 1G commitment so it's expensive unless you have a rack at Mega-I.

It was quoted through HKCOLO but I am pretty sure it includes peering with CT/CU through Telstra.
However, this is on a very low commit of 100Mbps.
In Telstra Australia, the traffic rates are similar.
Ah. If that is the case then I guess it's normal. The $60 /mbit rate was standard with Pacnet and I assume Telstra Global is basically the same now.
The $2.5 offer excluded China. I guess that was a service more like that offer by Cogent / HE.net who both offer <$2 /mbit in HK on Gbit commitments.
CM has the best coverage.
BUT do get CU (wcdma+LTE), that's much more common for most phones.
CT CM are fine when 4G is available, however different band on 3G signal.
I always use CU, works good on LTE. Thanks for the tip
I am using CU at china too.
