With a large amount of effort and grief and many hours on the phone to china it is possible to get a decent connection into China. We were going to Dalian which is a major industrial area (as are lots). It took a year, and no hair left to get a good stable and reliable connection but we did get there. Was it worth it, I am not sure but the company thought so!
I can't for the life of me remember the carrier just now but what we found was that even though they give you a public address they actually NAT that address to a second public address via a pix FW. Who knows why but I suspect it has something to do with the censorship they perform on internet connections. This email is pretty useless unless I remember the carrier other than to give a glimmer of hope. If I can dig it up I will post it.

Yes, in my experience TransPacific Internet connectivity to anywhere but HK does not have good performance. Matt -- Matthew S.
