[b]Looks promising[/b] He hasn't gone into what his service costs and what the prerequisites are, right? Or did I miss something? Are you going to pursue this for more detail? Or should we check individually? If you do, I'd love to hear more. Uma

I read a post on BTF today ref. this and sent an email. This is the very good and fast reply I got, which may be of interest to all: From: Richard Sunset [sunsetrichard@yahoo.com] Due to the slow internet access (just limited bandwidth in whole Indonesia)in Indonesia(Bali),currently the maximum bandwidth is just around "64k/sec" for some specific cybercafe in Bali,we are gonna expend our business to Indonesia start from Feb/2003. Here is the difference with local internet access Our new broadband satellite service **** Directed connected via the satellite from Taiwan/Hongkong (T-3 connection 45MB/sec backbone) Maximum connect speed up to 400k/sec (20 times faster than you can get in Bali) with lower and affordable cost than the existing Bali 64k connection Additional free multimedia service to watch Taiwan/Hongkong Tv/movies from your computer Existing Maximum Bali connection Limited bandwidth shared by all users Expensive Dedicated satellite connection 64k/sec 4.5 Juta/per month NO any Additional free multimedia service to watch Taiwan/Hongkong Tv/movies from your computer Yes,this service is available for private use whether you are use our satellite service for personal or business purpose Tks for your inquiry "Dr. Lothar K.

[b]I think[/b] you should pursue individually, that's why I put his email there. Add: Got this additional mail: Tks for your posting,pls be informed that our new websitewill be on line soon before we launch our affordable satellite broadband service by Mar We are a part of joint venture of China Telecommunication Company(CHT) in Taipei with our own satellite launched in 5/Aug/1998(ST-1 at 88E), this new department will be focus specially on Malaysia,India,Thailand,Indonesia,Philippine market ,previously we only got one KU band satellite transponder beam for delivery satellite broadband service in Asia,but the coverage is not so well for covering Asia region,one additional C band transponder is activate on Nov/2002, and ready to delivery new satellite broadband service for most part of Asia country. Tks again Regards Richard

[b]Computer confusion[/b] Hi Lothar..Call me an ignorant woman when it comes to computers,but I don't know what the heck is going on in Bali regarding our internet set up...coz for two weeks now I have not had total access to internet only intermittent...5 minutes at a time...and then shut down...I've tried at all hours of the day and night to gain access to the internet but no success. All sorts of strange explanations have appeared on the screen and the mind boggles as to what its all about. The gremlins therein have told me that someone else is using my connection and all sorts if wierd explanations as to why I cannot access hotmail or anything other than please re-enter your password...seems like a million times this has appeared on my screen, also no connection made etc...etc...Frustration is setting in and a modicum of anger is disturbing my efforts to communicate with you all.This has been happening for two weeks now and all sorts of experts have given their input but still I can't rely on Telkom to connect me. We have had intermittent access over the past couple of weeks and ...GUESS WHAT...I got a bill for two and a half million rupiah....for two weeks of trying to access the net. My small mind tells me there is something seriously wrong somewhere...Please Lothar can you offer some advice before I take a hammer to this computer...This situation is very disturbing and as you were so helpful last time I had a computer "crisis".....I beg for more advice....G....

Hi Gloria I feel for you and you're definitely not alone. There are several things you'd be wise to check before taking a hammer to your computer. 1) Have a good and currently-updated virus scanner (I use NOD32 but there's one called AVG which is free) 2) Have a good and currently-updated adware/spyware/malware programme (such as SpyBot Search & Destroy - free) 3) And this suggestion is one that is usually overlooked: check and replace (if necessary), the cable that runs to your telephone. I just did that a few days ago and my dialup connection is 'blazing' as a result. It cost me Rp100,000 to change the rat-attacked cable in my ceiling and that was by TELKOM guys. Hope this is of some use. :idea:

Sanurian

Hi again, Gloria Forgot to mention one other thing...a good fire-wall programme is useful, too. There are many available for free: well-known ones include Zone Alarm and Kerio Personal Firewall. :oops:

Lothar

Hi Gloria, Finally I get mails from this forum again - the last one is ages ago, and I have no time to check.... Sanurian has already told you what to do, and I have nothing to add :) btw: I'm glad you're alive and kicking :)

Bert Vierstra

Did anyone ever sign up with this company? I am busy going through the archives to see what broadband is available in Bali. If anyone has some up to date information I would be grateful. Gemma

mimpimanis, still little changes in the internet connections, lot of planning but no actions. Currently the best broadband connections are tru wavelan (Wirelles using radio waves ). For this service they will install a big antenna pole in your garden. There are many providers in bali that can offer this service only the prices are very different per provider. Indosat starts with 64 Kbps unlimited for 4.7 million IDR ( I can be wrong on this one ) while providers like channel 11 provide it much cheaper. ( I have bad experience with channel 11 ). A simple search in google would do the trick

Hello to all There is a broadband connection at a cybercafe near the dolphin statue in Lovina Bali. Have known about it since sept2005 Works great......................... Gina Tyler
