My guess is a good portion of the interconnections with other IP carriers, CDNs and such will be either in Singapore or Tokyo.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Currently my organization uses PCCW which we pay through the nose for and I'm looking to cut them. This was put in place before me. I was informed that PCCW is "the carrier" in Hong Kong but based on my analysis I'm not sure that's the
case. My analysis of carriers such as Lumen and Cogent put them on par with PCCW. Pings to random IPs in HK are reasonable fast on all of them, same with pings to cloud providers. Access to mainland is not a hard requirement but just to check they all
had 300+ ms latency to known IPs in Shanghai and Tanjin.<u></u><u></u></p>
