TheHong Kong, 20 August 2010 – “3ree Broadband”, an integrated broadband communications service brand of Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Limited (“Hutchison Telecom Hong Kong Holdings”; Stock Code: 215), today announced the launch of its brand-new 1000M residential broadband service and its title sponsorship to 3ree Broadband – George Lam “Made in Love” Concert, which will be held exclusively for 3 mobile and broadband customers on 28 September 2010.
Fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) network helps leap forward to a high-speed era
Raymond Ho, Head of Consumer Market, Fixed Services of HGC states that Hong Kong is one of the regions with highest broadband penetration rate. As of April 2010, there were altogether over 3 million registered broadband-service users and more than 80% of households were using the broadband service*. In response to the increasing popularity of the local broadband service together with the growing demand for the bandwidth, the Group, which reigns as the No.1 telecom services provider owning the most extensive fibre-to-the-building network in Hong Kong, introduced the 1000M broadband service to the commercial market long time ago. “3ree Broadband” now extends its provision of 1000M residential broadband service to all households to cater to the market demand for the high-speed broadband service, enabling simultaneous web-browsing by many people, including the use of hottest iPad, smartphones and playing tv games. “3ree Broadband” will further lead the trend of the broadband service, to let its customers experience and enjoy the benefits yielded from the high-speed optical-fibre network broadband service.

125 times faster than traditional broadband
High speed can be kept with many people online simultaneously
The 1000M optical-fibre network broadband service by “3ree Broadband” is provided via the FTTH network. For instance, it requires 69 seconds^ only to download a 1-hour high-definition movie of 8GB, which is 125 times faster than via the traditional 8M broadband service. In addition, with the sufficient supply of the bandwidth, the high speed can well be maintained even though there are 10 Internet devices functioning at the same time.
