Hi Wouter,

internet connection in Indonesia isn’t good, it worst if you compared to the Netherland. this is because the infrastructure and of course the companies want to make big profits.

currently i use FastNet in Jakarta, which also a bad ISP although still better than Telkom Speedy. FastNet under deliver from what they promise on their web page. they do some bandwidth shaping which drop your speed to the plan below your current plan. you can only use full speed of your plan for 30 minutes only, after that you’ll be dropped to the plan below for 1-2 hours and after that it get back to normal, this bandwidth shaping is done in cycle means it’s repetitive.

if you get 40KB/s and paid under Rp. 400.000 then you must satisfied with that, it’s impossible to get better than that in Indonesia. you can’t compared it with the Netherlands where we can get 100Mbps connection for 40 Euros

Nice to know I am not the only victim. @ months ago at installing I had max 850 kb. They promise more. Now it is 40kb and last night max 400kb. (In Holland I have 2500kb for half the price of Speedy.) Any idea what I can do? Is it completely Telkoms fault. Virus maybe? Or just to many customers.

Is there an alternative over the phoneline for internet? Or should we just wait for a cable connection?
