Q: Who is the best value internet provider in China?

I only spend 3 to 4 months a year here. We have just moved in to a new apartment and I was wondering where I can get the best value internet from. We will have two people using whenever we are in China but could share a WiFi dongle as we each spend at most 2 or so hours a day on the net. Not a lot of downloading but a bit of streaming (similar to NBA TV for me) and just general surfing and some low level games for her. She does not understand data limits etc so I am finding it hard to get around the best value plan for us.

 

Can anyone suggest what would be cheaper. A WiFi dongle with a decent download per month limit Vs a yearly subscription to an ADSL service.

 

Advice appreciated.

If you can live the first day after arriving in China on each trip, then I would go for a normal ADLS type connection. They can be paid on a monthly basis

As far as I can tell there isn't any mobile data plans in China where venturing into streaming video would not make you hit the monthly data limit pretty quickly.

^ ADSL*

 

The best value for your money depends on the promotions going on at the time. You can sometimes get 12 Mbit for 650 RMB for 6 months, or a little more than double that for 12 months.

 

We got promotional advertisements at our apartment complex all the time. I'm not sure if you can get those inside a gated community, 'cause I haven't seen any here in my new place.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
