Step into a new era! Shanghai broadband is freely upgraded from 2M to 30M.

"Truly stepping into a new era overnight!" This was the heartfelt admiration of many Shanghai residents regarding the broadband speed-up. Starting from Thursday morning, November 17th, many citizens were surprised to find that upon waking up, their broadband speed had jumped from the original 2M or 4M to 10M, 20M, and even 30M. It is reported that as of the time this article was published, the speed-up for over a million urban optical network users across the city was still ongoing, expected to be completed within 3-5 days. Experts in the telecommunications industry analyzed that this move would significantly enhance the average internet speed of household users throughout Shanghai, allowing Shanghai to continue leading nationwide and providing solid support for achieving the city's smart city construction goals.

"Completely unnoticed, I woke up and found my home internet speed increased tenfold," Ms. Huang, who lives on Eshan Road in Pudong, told IT Times reporters. Originally, her broadband was only 2M, now it has suddenly increased to 20M, feeling like a windfall.

On the internet, some Shanghai netizens joked, "Just like what Xiao ShenYang said in his skit, 'eyes open, close, and a day has passed; eyes close, open, and the internet speed has increased tenfold...'"

The head of Shanghai Telecom emphasized to reporters that this speed-up for the urban optical network was entirely free and had no impact on the user's internet experience. "For users, the speed-up was completed instantly."

The aforementioned official stated that after Shanghai Telecom announced the "Smart City Broadband Speed-Up Plan" on September 8th, they have now completed the "Optical Network Family Speed-Up", fulfilling their promise to millions of Shanghai residents and hundreds of thousands of broadband users.

It is reported that this speed-up targets all Shanghai Telecom broadband users who have already completed fiber-to-the-home services, benefiting over a million users. Additionally, the optical network speed-up for a very small number of users currently in the process of business handling will also be completed in batches soon.

All urban optical network users are reminded that if you want to check whether your own internet speed has been upgraded, you can log onto China Telecom Shanghai Online Service Hall (http://sh.ct10000.com) to use the speed test platform. If you have any questions, you can consult China Telecom's customer service hotline at 10000.

Shanghai Telecom stated that this move is just one step in a series of urban optical network constructions, and in the future, they will continue to push for a significant increase in overall bandwidth and internet speed in Shanghai.
