3G Bali is Back
An update of what i reported about XL 3G yesterday, it seems 3G channel service is available again today (March 17,2008 17:00) , I’m using CBN-XL and things back to normal now i hope it will stay forever! i’ll keep update on this…
Where’s my 3G gone?
As i wrote this article all XL 3G related users in Bali might have been experiencing speed decreasing from 3G to GPRS only, too bad indeed but in Indonesia i think all telecommunications company believe that the only constant in the world is change, so they keep change things like a wild atom, as reported in cosa’s blog that there is an alternative for affordable unlimited internet in Indonesia, cosa mentions in his blog that Ceria by PT. Sampoerna Telekom Indonesia (is this the same Sampoerna that produced ciggaretes ? yes it is 🙂 ) can provide such cheap service for only Rp.100,000 and there are also two other packages which are 30 hours package (available for Rp .30,000) and 60 hours package (available for Rp.60,000).
All packages valid only for 30 days.
