Need easy dial-up access?Connect your telephone
modem and enter '169' as both the user name and
password. '16900' is the phone number. The fee
will be automatically added to your telephone bill
(4 RMB an hour at last report).
Need ADSL in your apartment? Call CNC at 10060.
They reportedly have English telephone support,
but the guy that comes to your place to install it
probably just speaks Chinese. Some apartment
complexes have their own arrangements but if you
can get CNC's ADSL we recommend it. The flat-rate
monthly fee is RMB 158.
There's a new type of Internet Service going
around town. It's known alternately as PLC (Power
Line Connection) or HPN (Home Plug Network). Look
for signs around your compound (probably in
Chinese of course). The Torrent has low ID but it
still works pretty well and it's cheaper than
ADSL. It comes in through your electrical wires
and the modem plugs into an electrical socket. Be
careful about security!
Internet providers 163 and 169 have changed their
dial-up telephone numbers to '16900' as of May
1st, 2003. After that date, the old numbers will
no longer work.
