On November 19th, a time corridor was born on the Avenue of Stars in Shanghai Film Plaza, which is a testimony to the leapfrog development of broadband in Shanghai, from the completion of the "First City of Gigabit" in 2018, the realization of full coverage of Gigabit network in Shanghai, highlighting the "speed of Shanghai is the speed of the world", to the completion of the "first city of Gigabit" in 2019, to the completion of the first city of Gigabit network in Shanghai. Speed", to 2019 to create a "double gigabit demonstration city", take the lead in building a 5G ecosystem, and open the intelligent era of life, and then to 2020 to "start three gigabit", take the lead in the "gigabit 5G + 5G + 5G". The company's newest product is the "Gigabit 5G+Gigabit Broadband+Gigabit WiFi" upgrade, which will help Shanghai move towards the new journey of "Excellent Global City".
Now, in 2021, Shanghai Telecom will take the lead in promoting gigabit speed upgrade and gigabit user scale on a large scale, launching the first 2,000M home broadband, creating rich digital applications, and promoting the arrival of a new era of digital life for all people***.
Today, China Telecom Shanghai (hereinafter referred to as "Shanghai Telecom") held a conference on the "Citywide Gigabit Home, Telecom's New Digital Life" 2021 Digital Life Festival, launching the eleventh round of the broadband speed-up operation and implementing the "Citywide Gigabit, Gigabit and Gigabit User Scale" program. The company launched the eleventh round of broadband speed-up action, implementing the "Citywide Gigabit, Comprehensive Speed-Up, and Family*** Enjoyment", massively promoting the Gigabit speed-up and upgrading the scale of Gigabit users, so as to allow more users to use Gigabit broadband.

On this basis, Shanghai Telecom also provides whole-house intelligent customized solutions with personalized design, free combination and professional delivery, focusing on creating a series of scenario applications such as smart family and digital home.
Shanghai Telecom is promoting the large-scale migration of broadband users to gigabit, and enriching gigabit broadband application scenarios. Shanghai Telecom's "two-handed approach" to promote the arrival of a new era of digital life for the entire population***.
#01 By the end of 2022, the proportion of 1000M users of Shanghai Telecom will reach 40%
Shanghai Telecom has already accomplished the "small goal" of gigabit coverage in the whole city in 2018. In that year, on the basis of completing the super-sized access network and metropolitan area network construction, Shanghai Telecom successfully upgraded the citywide FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) network to achieve citywide coverage of gigabit fiber optic network, thus building the world's first gigabit city.
Currently, Shanghai Telecom's gigabit optical network has covered 10 million home users in the city. However, for Shanghai Telecom, building a good gigabit optical network is not the ultimate goal, the key is to allow users to widely use, but also good use of gigabit broadband.
Large-scale promotion of gigabit speed, to enhance the scale of gigabit users, is the core content of Shanghai Telecom's "City Gigabit Home Telecom Digital New Life".
To this end, Shanghai Telecom has launched the "Telecom 5G, broadband network age up a gigabit" campaign. For Telecom 5G home users with a broadband network age of 10 years and above, the home broadband speed will be directly upgraded to 1,000M; with a network age of 5 to 10 years (excluding 10 years), the home broadband speed will be directly upgraded to 500M; and with a network age of less than 5 years (excluding 5 years), the speed can be upgraded to 1,000M at preferential rates. For non-5G home users, upgrading the speed of their broadband network will benefit 3 million home broadband users of Shanghai Telecom. For non-5G home users, after upgrading to a 5G subscription, they can also participate in the broadband speed upgrade program.
At the same time, users can also participate in the 10-percent 5G convergence package, which not only allows them to use communications services with a broadband rate of up to 1,000M, a traffic rate of up to 300G/month, and a voice rate of up to 3,000 minutes/month, but also allows them to enjoy the contents of the package with up to 10 mobile cards***, which makes it more cost-effective to use it for the whole family, and allows them to participate in popular activities such as the direct drop of 5G cell phones, doubling of the traffic volume of the package, and the rights and benefits of the package. You can also participate in popular activities such as 5G mobile phone direct drop, package traffic doubling, rights and benefits lucky draw, etc.
Through this action, it is expected that by the end of 2021, 500M and above broadband users will account for at least 25% of Shanghai Telecom's broadband users, and by the end of 2022, the proportion of 1000M users will reach 40%.
