Classification of Hong Kong Bandwidth:

1The local bandwidth in Hong Kong refers to the local area network (LAN) bandwidth provided by local Hong Kong operators. When the content server is within the same operator's network, the bandwidth can reach highest level, and the speed is extremely fast. Moreover, the access speed between major operators in Hong Kong is also very fast. Due to Hong Kong's small geographical area, the local access latency is usually within 5 milliseconds. However, the speed for users in mainland China to access servers with Hong Kong's local bandwidth is very slow, with ping values typically ranging from 10 milliseconds to 120 milliseconds, depending on the distance. The characteristics of local bandwidth include sufficient capacity, fast access within Hong Kong, relatively slow access from outside Hong Kong, and low cost. Compared with Hong Kong's local bandwidth, the China-Hong Kong interconnection bandwidth crosses national borders and connects the two regions. This type of bandwidth is suitable for websites or applications that require cross-border access, as it improves both speed and stability for users in mainland China. However, access speed will be affected to a certain extent due to the need to go through firewalls. The China-Hong Kong interconnection bandwidth is characterized by bidirectional optimization capabilities, meaning it can meet the needs of users in both Hong Kong and mainland China simultaneously, and its price is slightly higher than that of local bandwidth. For enterprises or websites that need to be accessed by users worldwide, it is necessary to use CDN (Content Delivery Network) in conjunction to achieve the best access effect.

2Strictly speaking, Hong Kong's international bandwidth is divided into two types: one is the bandwidth from Hong Kong back to China (mainland), and the other is the bandwidth from Hong Kong to regions outside the mainland. The former is very expensive, while the latter is actually quite cheap. Due to the high cost of the part of Hong Kong's international bandwidth that connects back to the mainland, it is not suitable for clients with large traffic. In the market, the bandwidth allocated for renting and hosting Hong Kong servers is generally around 2M-5M for international bandwidth. Suppliers of Hong Kong's international bandwidth mainly come from local network service providers in Hong Kong. They usually obtain International Outlet Bandwidth resources by cooperating with international Internet service providers. Thanks to Hong Kong's geographical advantages, its international bandwidth is of high quality, with relatively low latency and packet loss rate, making it suitable for businesses that require overseas network transmission. However, the high cost of international bandwidth leads to relatively expensive rental prices for Hong Kong's international bandwidth, which is suitable for clients with small traffic. If large traffic is needed, one can choose to build computer rooms within the mainland or use CDN to reduce costs and improve access speed.
