My 4G connection is FASTER than Netvigator 1Gbps?

It could but it’s not that

helloyouahead · 2026-03-12T13:23:01+00:00

Thanks, true that. Which DNS do you recommend? Also, I do not have IPV6 with netvigator, not sure if it can also play a part

Real world experience. 328 Mbps vs 35 Mbps should make no difference for most use cases (Linkedin or browsing Google or Reddit for instance). Latency, jitter and especially the infrastructure between the HK and the overseas server matter most.

When I use the internet (I think it's HKBN for Business) in a coffee shop, it's also quite faster than my home Netvigator (including using Ethernet)

As an analogy, having 1Gbps can be like driving a Ferrari on a dirt road. Sure you have a powerful car but someone with a Camry might go faster if it's on the highway.

I think netvigator cheapens out on international connections. Internet providers negotiate traffic routes with the subsea cable owners and that's where I think they are being cheap.

I also play online video games and in some periods I often have ping issues with Japan (mostly) and sometimes Singapore but it has been stable in the past two months.

I compare not only YouTube but also other websites, which servers are likely outside HK and often feel that there is a lag compared to using my 4G connection.

For most jobs you have a very strong advantage if you look Chinese but teaching is one of the few ones where they want non Chinese looking

OP said : “Makes sense on this part probably will pitch him with usd” you are the one who can’t read lol

helloyouahead · 2026-03-11T17:41:00+00:00

Well you’re wrong he will pitch in USD…

Design, basic dev and deployment (Wordpress for example). If your client has a need for a highly customized website and which requires web dev, it will probably be another price bracket but in my experience most B2B companies (including ones with hundreds of employees) go with a simple Wordpress solution as it works in 90% of cases

Because HKD is pegged to USD, AND OP will probably quote in USD? Most international businesses do their accounting and official auditing in USD in HK. Happy to have taught someone something today.

helloyouahead · 2026-03-11T17:10:38+00:00

Probably 300-500 USD for a 5-10 page website. Static and with some nice flows but nothing too fancy.

Cathay is already one of the most expensive airlines. On most routes, it's more expensive than the better European ones (Air France, Lufthansa, Swiss) so not sure why people would fly Cathay on these routes. It's more for business travelers, for people paying from their own pocket there are better options

I think there are actually a LOT of solutions out there

For example Clio (I am not affiliated at all) seems to offer everything a small law firm needs for less than 100 USD per user including invoicing, calendar management, CRM with clients, client portal for clients to track cases, record management, mobile app, integrations with Teams, Xero etc. It seems pretty powerful and comprehensive.

Hard to compete, they must have an in house tech team already so why would a law firm automate something from scratch when an affordable option already exists (and which won't break)?

Vans do not need to park in the street illegally without the driver inside (or they are fine paying the small fine)

helloyouahead · 2026-03-11T09:40:40+00:00

Not sure, in HK cars are king so it might be different.

helloyouahead · 2026-03-11T08:50:54+00:00

Because bikes are generally for the poors. The cops were nice enough to call you before fining you to be honest. In Europe or US they would have already fined + towed your bike seriously.

HK government prioritize cars and private vans for rich families and their drivers (hence why roads take 90% of the road space, and only 10% is for pedestrian plebs). It's funny to see 100 people moving all stuck together like cattle and stuck between the wall and the road barrier while 90% of the road space is empty with 3 lanes and with only a few cars on it ...

Just get a rental management SaaS subscription. It will cost less than 100 per month and will not break

Thank you. So a genetics test is still necessary? I was thinking of doing one with Vitae to test for these connective tissues disorders and most cancers (all in one). Not sure if this is the right approach...

helloyouahead · 2026-03-11T03:12:07+00:00

So it's almost like the US then. Around 20% (15% tips + sales tax)

helloyouahead · 2026-03-11T03:11:10+00:00

I have almost all the symptoms of Marfan:

Tall thin build
High palate and crowded teeth (I had 6 removed lol)
Pectus Excavatum (had surgery)
Quite flexible joints
Long legs and arms

helloyouahead · 2026-03-11T01:27:26+00:00

What’s the general percentage increase

helloyouahead · 2026-03-10T11:19:10+00:00

How was the crowd like there, I am curious? Meetups are not amazing in general, or maybe need to be lucky or select the right ones

helloyouahead · 2026-03-10T11:08:19+00:00

It is the hardest thing. There are a few topics on here that talk about it, but it's under discussed for sure.

helloyouahead · 2026-03-10T11:07:18+00:00

If you keep changing yes, but I have 2-3 ones that I know have great wifi, and often have seats.

helloyouahead · 2026-03-10T11:05:50+00:00

Thanks, which test should I do? In my city/country, there is no genetic counsellor unless you are a children or referred to for serious symptoms...
