Smart Internet Unlimited

Posted on April 30, 2009 by Alist

Tired of using lame Indosat 3.5G Unlimited, I searched for alternative and cheap Internet mobile solutions. Tried Telkomsel Flash volume based (300MB for IDR 100K) it worked pretty good aside from its price.

Since May 1st, 2009, Smart Telecom launches new Internet unlimited packages with affordable price. Smart nge-Jump Unlimited Internet is their full name. Wow, I should try then… FYI, Smart Telecom is a CDMA mobile phone carrier therefore its Internet feature requires CDMA mobile phone or CDMA Modem phone to operate, in short:you cannot use GSM-based modem like Huawei E220.

Smart Jump Packages

Smart Internet Unlimited has some packages to choose:

Package	Downstream (up to)	Upstream (up to)	Price (per month)
Regular	153.6 Kbps	128 Kbps	n/a (15,000 / week)
1. Silver	512 Kbps	128 Kbps	75,000
2. Gold	1 Mbps	384 Kbps	120,000
3. Platinum	3.1 Mbps	384 Kbps	150,000
4. Ultimate	3.1 Mbps with public IP	1.8 Mbps	225,000

Those packages are available for postpaid and prepaid customers. For prepaid, even there are 1-day, 7-day, and 1-month packages.

As one of European counties, Iceland has ben ranked as one of the most expensive destination for Americans and rest of the world. No wonder usually Iceland is not included in people’s itinerary.

But recently as its economy collapse in late 2008, prices in Iceland have been falling up to 50 percent from normal.

Get Ready for Soekarno Hatta Airport Terminal 3

Posted on April 11, 2009 by Alist

If you drive from Soekarno Hatta Jakarta Airport back to city, just after Terminal 2 – in the left side you’ll see a new building ready to operate. That is the brand new Terminal 3 of Soekarno Hatta Airport (a.k.a CGK – Cengkareng Airport).

The building is ready to open this month and solely used by Indonesia AirAsia for domestic flights. Mandala Airlines will also operate from Terminal 3 in near future. This minimalistic and full of glass building is kind of smaller compared to Terminal 1, but adequate for low-cost airlines base. The design is also different from existing terminals, leaving the old and culture-rich style design to modern-look design, just like Sultan Hassanudin Airport in Makassar.

This airport is said to be able to host Airbus A380 (reaaallly?), let’s see later.
