Smoke,Whats the speed like? It would need some punch to have 10 devices.
Markit
The speed of the Hauwei MIFI is what it is - whatever provider you get the sim card from that you put in the MIFI device - it only alows you to tether 10 internet devices to it - in other words you have your own little network all connecting up to the MIFI.
Smoke
it suits my needs. I download songs from one of my servers . just use it to search google and websites . used 2 laptops and 2 phones to plan next months trip to Thailand ! . all pages loaded fine .

Then you pay 60,000 monthly to an Indo service provider like xL, 3, Smartfren or someone.

Smokey I think that point that needs to be cleared up is that the Hauwei MIFI itself [U]don't do shit[/U] but it's the connection over the sim card and the choices made there that are of real importance when planning an internet connection not the Hauwei Mifi. Are you getting a commission from Hauwei? :icon_e_wink:

Now my local Balinese friends do sell them for 750,000 rupiah with one month of activation ! delivery is extra :icon_wink: you can purchase different package speeds I believe, but friends said the package I got is enough for what I need I get better speed with it even when a few devices are using it then I do with my USB Smartfren ( 3gb) and only can do a pc unless u thether ur pc

The OP is approaching 3 years. What are peoples thoughts on changes to prices in that period.OP listed prices (or close to in IDR) in 2011.Housing - rp 5,000,000 per month (many valiable with location, rooms, pool etc).Food - rp4,500,00 per month (Eating out cafes 3 times per week. Rest at home)Internet - Rp645.000 Transport car running cost - Rp1.5 to 1.8 million Electricity - Rp300 to 500.000 running 20 or 3 airconsBanjar (village) & rubbish collection Fees: approximately rp 8.700 a monthDonations to your banjar: anywhere between rp45.000 and rp 175.000Pembantu/maid: Rp1 million per monthLPG for your stove/cooker: About rp45.000 to rp9.000 a monthAlcohol - rp26.000 for a large bottle of BintangHas much changed in rp in the last 3 years? I know the exchange rate has but it would be interested to get a local perspective on how much things have changed in rp terms to gauge the real cost changes.[/QUOTE]Does anyone want to chime in here? We are considering moving to Bali and need to get a current idea of costs. the OP had it at about $1,000 USD per month for a really nice (to my mind) place. Thanks,Bill & Emily

ok my opinion onlyelectric way to low!. gas for stove big can is 90,000 and lasts 3 months aboutcar expenses assuming you own the car ins is about 4-5 million a year and a tank of fuel mine costs 275,000 to325,000 depending on vehicle.oil change is about 300,000my monthly banjar fees are 20,000 and garbage is 50,000never paid any addition banjar fees

$1000 a month is about Rp11.5 million at today's exchange rate. If you look around for a while, you may find a decent 2 bedroom villa with pool at that price in the south of Bali (not Seminyak but maybe Kerobokan, Canggu, Umalas), but you would need to pay for 12 months upfront. If you're looking to pay monthly, somewhere in the vicinity of Rp13 to 15 million per month is more realistic. Sanur, I've heard, is probably a bit cheaper but I'm sure others located in Sanur can give you a better idea.Electricity has increased by around 30% since the original post and is due for two more increases this year.

I think that's where the good diving is. I'm wondering if we would really like to live in that area, or if it would be too remote. I guess we'll just have to come and see!- Bill & Emily
