Internet speeds in Bali exceed national average during holidays

Indonesia’s communications minister said internet speeds in Bali outperformed the national average during the Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr monitoring period, underscoring stable network performance amid peak holiday travel.

Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs Meutya Hafid said average national download speeds reached 95 Mbps, with upload speeds at 42 Mbps, indicating generally reliable conditions. In Bali, however, average download speeds were higher at around 105 Mbps.

The figures were based on monitoring conducted at joint Ramadan and Eid command posts between March 13 and March 24, she said in Badung District on Tuesday.

At I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, internet speeds reached as high as 250 Mbps, reflecting strong connectivity at one of the country’s busiest travel hubs during the holiday surge.

Hafid expressed appreciation to mobile network operators for maintaining service quality during the busy travel season, when demand typically spikes due to increased mobility.

Across Bali, Indosat recorded the highest speed test success rate at 98.25 percent, followed by Telkomsel at 89.3 percent and XLSmart at 58.99 percent, according to ministry data.
