Telkomsel. I remember having prepaid mobile boardband. However, I think it is cheaper to use internet cafe or go to wireless spots in malls.

Many of the 3 to 4 stars hotels eg. Panorama Regency has got free WLAN connection..

[Naka_Timo]

There are a lot of operators that provide on-line internet there.

IndoSat, XL, simpati, Flexi, mentari and Axis.

All is by pre-paid, they is no fixed line service kind over there.
