City Telecom (HK) Limited (HKSE:1137) (Nasdaq:CTEL) announced that, effective from 1 September 2010, the special promotion of HK$99/month (US$13) for symmetric 100Mbps broadband service will be terminated. Whilst the new price of HK$169/month (US$22) plus HK$380 (US$49) installation fee represents a 70% increase on promotional rate, it nonetheless represents awesome value by global standards. Compared to US benchmark of Verizon FiOS's "Tier 3: Fastest" plan of 50 Mbps downstream and 20 Mbps upstream priced at US$139.95/month1, our symmetric 100 Mbps offers 18x2 better value on a dollar per bit basis.

Ms. June Lam, Associate Director, Marketing: "Today, Hong Kong is the third most advanced Fibre-To-The-Home market in the World, trailing only South Korea and Japan. At City Telecom, we are proud to have contributed to this positioning. Having surpassed our growth target of exceeding 500,000 subscribers, led by our temporary price promotions, it's now time for us to move beyond price and focus on extending our service quality lead."
