But, for the price you pay, you do get a fast connection without too much downtime.

I think they still have a combo package deal running where if you get the TV package as well you'll get a discount on both internet and TV for the first few months.

So yeah, if you can deal with a "broken" helpdesk and relatively crappy customer service, but do want a fast connection, Fastnet is the place to go.


Oh, here we go again. Mr Cat loses more sleep and hair over inefficient LOCAL helpdesk staff. For the sake of everybody here's sanity, Acclimatize my friend!! You are no longer in the U.S, England or wherever. Sign up for an Indonesian course so you are not so reliant on your girlfriend to moan on your behalf. Do Something!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr Bartucian, it sounds like you have become engaged to a productive lady. If she is interested in doing SOMETHING, have her contact me and I can introduce her to our congregation here in Bukit Sentul.

Super, another tourist outed.

Richard, trust me on one thing, next time you want to talk down to me be prepared to back it up with more than just your religious bullshit mumbojumbo smile

If you would have taken the time to find out, I'm from the Netherlands, where one is used to getting more out of a helpdesk than just an "I dunno". I don't even particularly care about the fact the helpdesk gives me an "I dunno", but the miles of excuses and bullshit before someone will finally get to the point and tell me that yes, they broke it, and yes it's being fixed.

Perhaps that Indonesian (or most likely Javanese) culture at work, but if people keep doing that, things around this country will never make a change for the better.

So sure, you keep preaching about how one should acclimatize so this country can stay halfcocked. Make no effort to improve things, great job Richard.

Now, please, quit replying to my posts, don't even think about it anymore -- in the end I'm only going to have to give you the worst verbal smackdown of your life, and I can't guarantee you'll get out of that with all your sanity intact.


Here we go again, another one that thinks they can scrap - II though that Pim Fomtain was pretty spot on about immigration, about lazy guests who cannot speak the language.

Public forum dough head and until Chubby UK gets his wish fulfilled and has me banned then I for one will continue to torment you because I think you're worth it.

Go on RC, tell him who you are.

Here we go again, another prejucided presumptious blown up sack of hot air.

1: It's "Pim Fortuijn" - get it right, or don't play ball.
2: I never said I didn't speak Bahasa Indonesia at all, I speak enough to get by in a daily setting, not enough to explain a technical problem that -- in all probability, would give you a headache -- to someone who's level of understanding about things like that is hovering around the 0.5% mark, like any other helpdesk tech in every other country I've been to so far.

You should try harder, the useless tripe you dribble out like diarrhea is amusing, far from tormenting. Might I suggest you drop the old rhetoric you've been relying on these past years to attempt (amusingly so) to prove you're right and come up with something a slight bit more interesting?

I've know who he is from day 2, give or take. Doesn't mean I can't play along with the game, now does it?

As for you dear Captain Third Person, try harder next time okay? Right now your level of "flaming" is about up to what a 12 year old could dish out. I expect much better, don't disappoint me now you hear?

Oddly, i seem to find myself allied to Mr Mainwaring in this little debate on values with Mr Cat. I can assure you, this is not a position i feel wholly comfortable with.

I had taken your 'not flaming' as a concession Mr Cat (something which is inevitable after all), but it seems you have changed your mind. Rather indictaive of most of your arguments i would say. You're not quite sure where you stand.

As for this isssue of my identity. I play the game straight Mr Cat. The Lord teaches that we should embrace our adversaries and ,as such, you are always more than welcome to look me up should you find yourself in the Bukit Sentul area.

Come now Richard, that wasn't flaming, that was merely explaining the finer points of what's lacking in the good old Captain's rhetoric to him laugh

Who is he then?

There's a difference between not bothering checking on the proper name of a person and making a typo. But then again if playing grammar nazi makes you feel good I suggest you go for it.

Indeed. Now let's see, when you arrived in this country, you obviously were fluent at the lingo, could pontificate at great length about the political climate, and knew exactly what you were doing, right?

Oh bravo, well played Sir! Taking a statement completely out of context to twist it into something that suits you, a most excellent technique.

Guess I'll assume you're a complete IT-illiterate then.

Seeing as I'm not sure -everyone- knows who he is, I prefer not to say, it'd kinda ruin his fun don't you think?

Interesting discussion. Entertaining.

As for the topic: While not knowing Fastnet, I have good experience using Indosat's wireless 3.5G network:
http://www.indosat.com/Indosat_3.5G_Broadband

I pay 550k a month (data limit 3 GB), and the modem was free.

Download speed is usually around 600 kbit/s, and upload speed 350 kbit/s.

With a laptop and a 3.5G modem, this solution is king!

Yes, speedy sucks.

It's great to just bring my notebook anywhere and get connected. For example, to sit in a cafe in Jogja and surf internet at 800 kbit/s. Work, and looking at girls passing by... :-) I just measured the speed against a machine in Europe.
