That's right, postcode checkers show no service. Someone once told me that the whole city centre was only ever set up for telephone service. This was in a time when obviously they thought businesses would want that. Broadband wasn't thought of. Even in the area around Chinatown where there are some semi detatched houses, I don't see any boxes on the front of houses. Think Broadband coverage maps basically show nothing in the city centre.
