Like @dafluff said, there is little point in testing the speed with a server hosted in Indonesia. Most of the internet is hosted outside Indonesia, so to get an idea of how good an ISP is, we should also test for their speed to the outside world.
With the ookla speed test, I usually pick a Singapore server such as MyRepublic or SingTel.
@BliGundul thanks for sharing. I have been considering moving from Jakarta to Bali for some time now but the question of internet speed and reliability has always been an issue. The reason being is that I am really spoiled with my current setup on My Republic (tested with SingTel server in Singapore):
I actually only pay for 100Mbps but they must have upgraded me. My monthly bill is IDR 461,000 which includes 40k for their (shitty modem router) and 25k for a static IP address (which I highly recommend, makes everything more stable in general, not sure why, maybe their DHCP server is messed up).
The speeds above are achieved through using my own router behind the included modem. I have a TP-Link Archer AX73 WiFi 6 Router which is blazing fast and enough to cover my modest house. My phone is compatible with wifi 6 @5GHz so it's able to max out my connection.
But the numbers shared for Biznet in Bali sound pretty good that internet speed and reliability shouldn't be an issue anymore. I also saw last week that MyRep is also available in Bali now but I don't expect them to be as good as where I am now (1km away from their head office ).
