Hi TomThe net is not as bad as I first thought, when using it inside the house. Out in the communal area it is faster but still not what I am used to in Bali. I am using XL and there tower is in Kuta so I imagine it would be better there. There is an Indosat tower near us so I am going to try giving them a go too, next time we go to Mataram I will look into it.
I haven't seen the article you mention so yes if your daughter can post a link or copy & paste the articel that would be useful. Thanks
