Okay. Let’s do some comparison now. My house at Jakarta uses Telkomnet@Instan to surf the internet. Since no one except me and my younger brother that often surf the net and since both of us rarely come visit to this house, Telkomnet@Instan is a fair choice. As for me, when I’m not in my campus, I use Fren by Mobile-8 paired with CBN prepaid. I got it last year when I got awfully sick so I had to take total bed rest and I badly need an internet connection. I have to begged to my father to get it :p

This is the best result of Telkomnet@Instan’s connection speed after several tests by speakeasy.net (thanx to achai for the info in his blog):

A ‘lil bit odd for the upload rate isn’t it?
While this is the result of Mobile-8 paired with CBN prepaid, also the best after several tests:

Not bad, huh?

But I’ve been thinking to change to other cell phone operator since Mobile-8 + CBN is somewhat not too reliable nowadays: can’t surf the net although it already gives the “connected” notification. Maybe I’ll change to XL. But first I have to get me a GSM cell phone because my previous handy was broken a year ago. Just hoping my dad will buy a new cell phone for himself soon, so I can have his current Nokia 6680 :D

One thing I like to say: thank you, God for creating internet. Can’t live without it :)
