Most fixed telephone line networks (including ADSL) in Indonesia are controlled by PT Telkom, the state-owned telecom company. ADSL/telephone switching equipment used by PT Telkom is made by Alcatel and recently by Huawei. PT Telkom has gained a poor reputation among its ADSL subscribers, since the service given by PT Telkom often experiences drop-outs. Moreover, PT Telkom puts high prices on their ADSL plans, making them unaffordable to most Indonesians.

ISPs

Indonesian Internet Service Providers (ISPs) offer Internet service on top of the PT Telkom's ADSL network which makes Internet in Indonesia very expensive especially when compared to the relatively poor service. ADSL customers have to pay 2 separate charges: ADSL line charges to PT Telkom ($22-160 USD) and Internet charges to the ISP. Most service plans are have limited usage with /kb surcharges for surpassing the allotted monthly usage amount. However, PT Telkom recently reduced the pricing of ADSL significantly to become the following:

The ADSL line charges (subject to 10% Value Added Tax):

  • Home user: unlimited US$ 83/month
  • Home user: limited to 1000 Mb US$ 22/month.
  • Business: limited to 3000 Mb US$ 44/month.
  • Internet caffee: unlimited US$ 193/month.
  • Excess data : 5 cents/Mb or US$ 50 / Gb

Additionally, PT Telkom also offers Speedy Time Based plan which features 50 hours of ADSL connection for US$ 22/month and only 17 cents for each excess hour. PT Telkom further states that Speedy Time Based plan is mostly suitable for users with special download requirements, in a sense that the users can adjust their own download schedule. For instance, rather than downloading during peak horus, apparently, users are encouraged to download at off-peak hours which is usually between 12 am to 12 pm (varies between ISPs).
