Internet Speeds in Indonesia
🇮🇩 Indonesia broadband benchmarks: median download, upload, ping, fibre penetration, and the ISP pages to check before choosing a plan.
Indonesia Internet Speed Snapshot
What Internet Is Like in Indonesia
Indonesia has the world's fourth-largest population and one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing digital markets. Telkom Indonesia (IndiHome), Biznet, First Media, and MNC Play are major broadband providers. Mobile internet via Telkomsel, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, and XL Axiata is the primary internet access method for most Indonesians.
Indonesia's 17,000+ islands make nationwide fixed broadband deployment extremely challenging and expensive. Telkom Indonesia's state-owned infrastructure is the backbone of connectivity. Mobile broadband is more accessible and affordable for most of the population. The Palapa Ring submarine fibre project has improved inter-island connectivity.
Top ISP Speed Tests in Indonesia
Provider pages include typical download speed, upload speed, ping, plan notes, common issues, and troubleshooting steps. Use them with your own test results to see whether your connection is limited by your plan, Wi-Fi, or the wider provider network.
| Provider | Download | Upload | Ping | Technology | Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Biznet Networks | 115 Mbps | 110 Mbps | 14 ms | FTTH (GPON), Metro Ethernet | View speed test → |
| First Media | 68 Mbps | 8 Mbps | 18 ms | HFC Cable (DOCSIS 3.0), FTTH (limited) | View speed test → |
| IndiHome (Telkom Indonesia) | 42 Mbps | 9 Mbps | 22 ms | FTTH (GPON), ADSL | View speed test → |
How to Compare Your Result Against Indonesia
- Run a wired speed test first so Wi-Fi does not hide your real line speed.
- Compare download and upload separately; many plans have strong download but weak upload.
- Check ping and jitter if gaming, video calls, VPNs, or remote desktop feel sluggish.
- Test again in the evening to see whether peak-hour ISP congestion is affecting you.
- Compare your ISP page against the country median before upgrading or switching.
