As an Indonesian I can assure you that this is 100% pure undiluted Indonesian-made bovine manure. Currently the best available consumer level unlimited internet is offered by the government owned phone company. For $75/month you get an advertised 384kbps down and 64kbps up. More likely, on a good day you'll get 30KByte/s and 5KByte/s. That's shamefully slow, and it only started a couple of years ago. A 224Mbps line for every user bwahahahhahahahah, I'd be surprised if there's that much bandwidth for the whole country right now. Our government workers clocks in at 10am and clocks out at 2pm. This is including a 2 hour lunch. These folks can't keep the traffic light running correctly for more than a couple of days, let alone roll a nation-wide cutting edge broadband.
If you still don't believe me. The same Information minister who is most likely the source of this idiotic bragging, a week ago decided to roll out free internet on mosques. And to keep this intention purely educational wanted to block porn at the ISP level. (Block porn, now *THAT* always work). And his idea to implement this is to block all forums requiring the users to be 18 years or older. Because apparently all forum with age check contains nothing but pictures of naked women (and men).
Please folk, this ain't no Japan or Scandinavia.
