Even though these two ISPs (Indihome vs First Media) are not what we champion in terms of providing the best and qualified internet service, if your house is only stuck with these two ISPs, what can you say?

Just a little review, in part 1 we have discussed the advantages and disadvantages of First Media internet service provider, now let's discuss what are the advantages and disadvantages of Indihome.

Advantages of Indihome

• Internet speed 1:5

Actually, this isn't an advantage either, but because we're only comparing 2 Indihome vs First Media providers, it's fine if this falls into the Indihome strengths category.

2x better than First Media, indihome offers 1:5 internet speed, which means if you subscribe to 20Mbps internet, you will get 20Mbps download and 4Mbps upload.

So far, we are also surprised, where other providers are competing to provide 'wow' service by providing speeds of 1:1 or 1:2, these two old player providers are still insisting on their old speed policy, as if they don't want to look at developments.

• Get Android TV Box

Again, when only compared to First Media, this time Indihome wins in terms of pampering its customers.

Android TV Box support will give Indihome service users a more experience on their TV, especially if customers haven't had a Smart/Android TV before.

They will experience how easy it is to watch YouTube, listen to Spotify or other things directly from their TV.

Interestingly, the newest TV Box currently supports voice commands and can install applications directly from the Play Store, no longer relying solely on the USee Store.

Disadvantages of Indihome

• Using a Fair Usage Policy (FUP)

It is common knowledge that Indihome is famous for its FUP. Never changed since Indihome first existed (formerly Speedy).

Of course, the amount of FUP given to customers will be different, depending on what internet package they subscribe to. For example, for basic Indihome internet + TV services, they usually offer FUP 300-500GB FUP/month.

There is nothing clear in the Indihome FUP rules, sometimes they change the terms & conditions for FUP without prior notification. Sometimes they also provide FUP bonuses without the user's knowledge.

Try Indihome users, have you ever known that a few months ago you actually got a FUP bonus because of the impact of covid19. Surely you don't know, right?

You must be really annoyed, you will only pay attention to the point that if the internet is slow, it means FUP is up, without knowing how much the actual total FUP usage actually is, which you can get information on MyIndihome. right?

Indeed, it seems that the FUP issue is a sensitive matter, to the extent that Indihome does not want to fairly provide this information at the start of the subscription.

Even if you can buy booster add-ons so that your internet speed doesn't drop, it's a shame, you'd better upgrade to a package above it, right?

How About the Price?

In terms of price, these two providers are actually just as expensive compared to other cable internet providers such as Biznet, Oxygen, Bali Fiber, etc.

However, overall, if you compare Indihome vs First Media, right now we can make sure that Indihome's services are much cheaper and more attractive than First Media.

Why can we think like that?

1. Internet speed 1:5
2. Even though it uses FUP, the FUP capacity is still reasonable when in normal use
3. Already using fiber optic cable
4. Using an Android TV Box, for those who subscribe to Dual Play

So considering those 4 points is what makes us recommend you to install Indihome, if indeed your house/boarding/rented location is stuck with the two ISPs.

For more detailed prices, please land directly on the official website of the two cable internet service providers. Because we're not having a promotion, so if you want to compare prices and more, you can just go to the web page.

If you want to get a cheaper price with an attractive promo, the secret is that you have to contact the sales of the two ISPs and just go straight to the point asking about what promos are currently on.
