The Cheapest Internet Provider Now Available: FastNet from FIRST Media

This is not an advertising post, just my great pleasure to let you know if you haven't read newspaper couple days ago. Internet Cable now available to Greater Jakarta region at a very low price. Rp 99,000 monthly subscription fee with unlimited access and up to 384 kbps is a very hot offer. Challenging Telkom Speedy should be done on this way, right? Unlimited download is on the way :)

Probably the company name is not familiar enough, but FIRST Media is a new company setup by Lippo Group, previously named as PT Broadband Multimedia Tbk, which offered KabelVision and Digital1 cable tv and internet service to home using Hybrid Coaxial Fiber Cable. All existing setup and infrastructure will be managed by this company. So if you are asking about reability, just ask to some friends who are subsribing to KabelVision or Digital1 internet. My friend who have been subscribing to Digital1doesn't have any major issue regarding reability of service. Existing Digital1 users are directly subscribed to 768 kbps package.
