Not only outside the Capital City of DKI Jakarta, but in DKI Jakarta itself, many areas are stuck with only these two providers. There are no other options, other cable internet providers, only First Media vs Indihome.

Let's first examine what are the advantages and disadvantages of these two providers, let's see more!

First Media VS Indihome, Confused Which to Choose?

Advantages of First Media

• Real unlimited without FUP

Who doesn't feel frustrated when they're streaming movies/youtube suddenly the internet speed slows down, because they're running out of FUP. If you use First Media, you won't experience that.

It's different from its competitor Indihome, which will reduce the internet speed for both downloads and uploads when you have passed the FUP (Fair Usage Policy).

Disadvantages of First Media

• Not yet using fiber optic cable for most areas

Even though First Media actually already uses fiber optic cables for some of the areas it covers, the areas using coaxial/copper cables are still the most extensive.

Even now, we don't know when First Media will start upgrading their cable from coaxial/copper to fiber optic as a whole.

• Internet speed 1:10

Many of you must not know about this. How does the upload speed affect your internet usage? The answer is very influential!

Try it for First Media service users, for example if you subscribe to internet with 10Mbps speed. That means, you will get a download speed of 10Mbps and an upload speed of 1Mbps.

Why? Yes it is. First Media is indeed unfair because it has never clearly disclosed this information to its customers, because it is clear that this will be a frightening specter, both for those who understand and those who do not understand.

Since it was first launched in Indonesia, First Media is still very firm with this policy, namely the policy that the internet speed that will be provided to customers by them is 1:10.

Give it a try, for example if you subscribe to First Media with a speed of 10Mbps. Then you upload files, for example, only 100MB in size, and voila, that's right, you won't be able to browse/do anything comfortably, because your upload speed of only 1Mbps is used by 100%.

• Still using STB without Android OS support

If you subscribe to the internet + TV package from First Media, then for the basic service you won't get an Android STB/TV Box to watch TV.

If you want to get an Android STB/TV Box, you have to spend more money to rent the device, namely the Smart Box X1 4K.

Is STB/TV Box Android important or not? Yes, it really depends on your needs, this will be important, if you want to make your TV that is not yet Smart/Android TV, a Smart/Android TV.

Those are some of the advantages and disadvantages of cable internet provider First Media. So, if you were faced with a choice between First Media vs Indihome, what would you choose now? Vicigers?
