Am still thinking seriously of making the big move from Shanghai to Phnom Penh. However, I'm an active stock trader and would ultimately need a good and reliable connection for live charting. Anybody there trade or know anyone who does? If so, any problems in this regard? (I would be willing, by the way, to pay whatever in order to have an acceptable connection in an apartment.

Also, how is the teaching scene these days? I've read that Vietnam is really experiencing a slowdown. How goes it in Cambodia?

I tried khmer440 with no luck, but thanks anyway. As for the Internet, on a recent trip to Thailand I met a number of young teacher-types who warned me that the connection in Hanoi (where they live) was often horribly slow. That made me scratch off that city, so I was wondering if the same were true for PP. Guess the best thing to do is to simply re-visit the city in person and check things out...

Internet service tends to be rather erratic and it will be a trade off between cost and speed, as most service providers still tend to charge by the mb download rather than a flat fee. That said, with increased competition service is slowly improving and prices are coming down. You will find though that you are paying significantly more for slower speeds than you would get in neighbouring Thailand.

Saigon, then, has really come a long way. The last time I was there the speeds were more akin to what LuckyKhan is describing about PP now. Of course, that was back in 1999...

The connection in Vietnam is very fast, reliable and cheap. I work on the internet and haven't had any problems so far.

When I lived on Phuket I was unable to work as the connection was so bad. I'm also interested in the connection in Cambodia as the visa situation in Vietnam has become unpredictable.
