First media internet

Just now, 0.9 mbps down with 0.02 up.

"Rubbish" seems a little generous.

Hi Fred,
I used first media too for my internet provider
So far so good, but there was a time that the internet is on and off and so slow.
Perhaps you can look for Speedy which has a better service, but a higher price of course

Test your cable modem signal setting on FIrst Media:

Type on regular browser
192.168.100.1

Receive Power Level:  from Negative 15 to Positive 15 ( range is normal level)

Transmit Power Level:  from 35 dbmv to 55 dbmv

If the results are way off, time to call to Firstmedia Technician for a free check visit.

That is the first time I heard Speedy has a better service.
Maybe it is because Depok area?

Speedy has a FUP Fair Usage Policy.
First media doesnt have one.

Done all that and all checks out as within tolerances, but the speeds are always rubbish.
I suspected computer issues but unless three computers and an Android mobile phone are all infected, as well as the engineer's tablet, that must be discounted.
