HONG KONG, June 20, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hong Kong Broadband
Network Limited ("HKBN", a wholly-owned subsidiary of City Telecom (HK)
Limited, (HKSE:1137) (Nasdaq:CTEL) is pleased to announce that the
InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong has upgraded to our
Fibre-based 1Gbps service, i.e. a leading 5-Star Broadband Service for
a leading 5-Star Hotel.

Before the Internet upgrade, the hotel, like many top hotels in Hong
Kong, had the modest Internet bandwidth of 25Mbps across the hotel.
InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong took the initiative to
enlarge its bandwidth to 1Gbps since due to the changes in the hotel
guest's usage pattern, and it became an opportunity for the hotel to
stand apart from its competition.

InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong's Sunny Li, Director of I.T.
said, "We discovered that the in-room movie viewing was quite popular,
but the changing of habits have caused this demand to decline in favor
of web surfing and alternative media such as YouTube, online movies,
TV, music, drama and news channels. It is therefore essential that we
meet guest expectations and the (HKBN) 1Gbps service provides the tools
to do that. In contrast to the criticism that we previously received
about Internet services, we have achieved positive feedbacks praising
the smooth, fast response of our Internet service."

HKBN's Managing Director of Corporate Division, John Chong, commented
on the project: "Over the last 12 years, HKBN has invested heavily in
international and local bandwidth and our present 1Gbps DIA service is
unsurpassed in security, availability and technical support services."
