All this time, I only subscribed into one ISP, Telkom. Though I used their three products, Telkomnet Instan, Telkomsel Flash, and now Telkom Speedy. Those three had their own pros and cons which I will tell here (speedtests uses server in Alaska so people would know the real speed than using local server)(of course this is my personal opinion based on my personal experience, so feel free to add some comments):
Telkomnet Instan:
+ Pretty much the cheapest (IDR 100/minute, though when you add it to 50 hours, it's still more expensive than either Telkomsel Flash or Telkom Speedy).
+ Err...no other pros?
- Disconnect easily (since it uses telephone line, when a call comes in, it will automatily disconnect).
- Veererrryyy slllooowwww (up to 56 KB/s, though I usually only got 38.8 KB/s)
? (My experience) Hey! 30 mins to download a 4 MB's song! (it's like that ^_^)
? (My experience) In 2002, I always used Telkomnet Instan in midnight, since there won't be income calls, and also that my parents won't be angry at me for using the telephone line ^_^.
Speedtest:
(This is for Telkomnet Instan speedtest result)
Telkomsel Flash:
+ Quite reasonable price (IDR 200,000 for 48 hours with speed up to 3.6 MB/s, or IDR 200,000 for unlimited usage with speed up to 256KB/s)
+ Maybe there are other pros...
- Your speed depend on your signal (if your place get 3G signal or better, then get ready to jack! But if you only get 2.5G signal, then better switch to Telkomnet Instan...)
- And that means you also have to ready for frequent disconnects!
- The modem are expensive... (about Rp 500,000 or higher)
? (My experience) I remember in 2006 'till 2007 ends, when I first used Telkomsel Flash, only a few people knew about it. Even Speedy hasn't have its advertisement in TV yet. So when I used it, I got reeeaaalllllyyy fast speed (yes yes, its fast for us Indonesian people ^_^) which is 1.5MB/s and that's my second fastest speed I ever experienced! Weelll that's because (maybe) no one used it around my house so I could get that speed. Here it is:
Nowadays, it's rare to get that speed. You need great luck (I haven't got it again though).
? (My experience) Since my house don't get 3G signal, I decided to use Telkom Speedy.
Speedtest (this is from my brother who used up to 256KB/s one):
Telkom Speedy:
+ The most stable out of the three since uses fixed line (and pararrel to the phone line).
+ Quite fast speed, up to 1 MB/s
+ Quite reasonable price (IDR 200,000 for 50 hours)
- I don't know about the cons...maybe techs at Telkom really slow when attending problem calls...
? (My experience) My record for keeping Speedy on is 2 days (since it's end of the month and I haven't used it anyway), and it's still on even after that. Quite good.
? (My experience) Though it;s advertised up to 1 MB/s, I pratically only got 512KB/s. It's not breaking any advertisements, so I think it's no problem.
Speedtest:
Final Analysis:
Out of the three, I still prefer Speedy. Though when Telkomsel Flash really got its up to 3.6MB/s' speed, I would prefer to change to it. Other alternative would the pocket friendly FastNet, but since FastNet haven't reached my city yet, I still use Speedy. Telkomnet Instan won't live longer I think, with it's high price and slow speed. Though I honestly think, all ISPs could REDUCE THEIR PRICE mmmuuuuccchhhh lower, especially when I heard my brother got a (freaking) up to 18 MB/s ISP with unlimited bandwith only for IDR 200,000/month in Germany (when he got back his 500GB external HDD was full with stuffs, hahaha).
Some ^&#&$*@ talks:
- Speeddddyyyy!!!! Give me my real 1MB/s speed!!!!
- Speeddddyyyy!!!! Reduce the price!!!!
- Speeddddyyyy!!!! Reduce the price!!!!
- Speeddddyyyy!!!! Reduce the price!!!! (it deserves to be talked three times ^_^)
- No!!! Torrents are eating my HDD!!!
Update:
- Seems like Speedy isn't good at unstable weather conditions. They cut the internet line whenever it happens.
- Telkomsel Flash become considerably slower now. A tactic to advertise Speedy?

Did someone realize the up to 1 MB/s' Speedy, is slower than up to 256KB/s' Telkomsel Flash?
