Hey bro, I live in Shenzhen, idk if you know where it is but it is about 2 hours away from Guangzhou. Anyways, I believe that you can pay something like 200RMB/month for an 8mb down load plan, however the actual speed is like 5mb/s, which is really good compared to my 200kb/s average on my Motorola Cable Modem... Unfortunately I am not sure which ISP provides this, just look up 8mb plans that cost 200RMB/month.

BTW how long have u been in China 4?

also this may be REALLY random, but by any chance are you a student at either AISG or UISG?

I really don't think that in China you will be able to manage a download speed of 13mb/s considering all the filtering they do...

Assuming you are a High School student (as am I), I would go to AISG if I were you (apparently the girls are better than UISG)...

I think that China NET is a better ISP, and attempt to find a decent ADSL 2+ plan because it would have the fastest upload... I am so jealous of HK, they are already implementing the fibre optics net...

This is one of the several reasons I hate spending a complete summer in China. China is so densely populated with internet users that it's impossible to get fast speeds.

Those are pretty fast. OC-48 is ~2.5 Gbit/s.
