Essential Resources

Internet Services & Telecommunications

Hong Kong offers extensive digital connectivity through more than 86,000 public Wi-Fi hotspots. Around 84% of households enjoy fibre-based networks, and over 90% benefit from 5G mobile coverage, delivering reliable high-speed broadband access.

Most areas offer excellent connectivity, though some older tenement buildings may have limited fibre access. In these locations, wireless home broadband alternatives are available. As performance can vary due to technical and environmental factors, it's advisable to consult with operators about coverage before deciding.

Residents can access local fixed and mobile voice and data services, and international roaming options. Prepaid and postpaid mobile data plans are available, and SIM cards obtainable at the airport and local stores. It is important to note that prepaid SIM (PPS) cards require registration with an original identity document, and one should not purchase a "registered" PPS card from unknown sources.
