A friend ask me about NetZAP, a broadband internet access I've been using for the last several months. She wanted to know several basic things about it that I haven't mentioned in my other blogs.
So, I better put the information here so all of you guys (and girls) can also read and maybe interested in subscribing to it.
First, NetZAP is a wireless broadband internet access provider. Yes, wireless. That's mean you won't be dealing with installing hundred meters of cable to connect you to the internet world. Also, you won't be stuck in just one spot at your home to access internet. Connect from your room, kitchen, or even from bath room if you want. Simply, anywhere you want, if that spot could receive their signal that is.
Currently, they are only operating in Jakarta. So for those of you whose living outside Jakarta, be sad, be very very sad. Mwahahaha... (evil laugh). Nah, just kidding. I myself lived several years outside Jakarta and it sucks to not having as much facility as Jakarta, so I know how it feels.
If you're interested in subscribing, just contact them by refering to their website. Several months ago, I tried to registered when there was an event in JCC. But after sometimes, there were no respons, and then I contact them by email using the email provided at their site. To my suprise, few hours later they replied my email and soon we already made an appointment to survey whether their signal could reach my house at Kebon Jeruk or not.
Beside to check the availabilty of their signal on your place, this survey is also done to directly installed their equipment if your place can receive their signal properly. On the other hand, if the signal received at your place is bad or can not receive signal at all, you don't have to pay anything. Yes, the survey its free. So, don't you have to worry about loosing any money.
Installing equipment is not like setting up a satellite dish or decoder just like if you subscribe to Indovision and stuffs, it is just a small box of modem, not bigger than your ordinary Japanese comik book (a.k.a manga). This modem is equipped with rechargable battery so you can still access internet even when PLN is testing your patient by deploying their usual "pemadaman bergilir" mechanism. Ha!
The image for the modem will be uploaded soon. This unbelieavably slow internet connection prevent me to upload it.
You'll be given that modem, and a booster to boost (of course, the name really describe it) the reception of their signal. You will also get their dialler software that will be installed to your computer. This software also available at their website.
Thats it! The installation was rather fast. It took me less than one hour to complete.
And then there's the paying process. You have to provide Rp. 500,000 for modem deposit. The modem given is not yours. They only lend it to you, so you have to give them warranty by handing over 500K rupiah. This money will be yours again if you stop subscribing to their service. Keep in mind that you have to keep all of the modem's equipment including the boxes (if any) so that you don't get into trouble when returning the modem. This is written in the contract, I don't know for sure what the consequences are.
Beside money, you should also provide a copy of your ID (a.k.a KTP) and two stamp duty (a.k.a materai). Fill in several forms and all the installation and registration are all done. Very simple process. Wait for several hours before your user ID can be activated and after, you can browse the internet as much as you want without worry having high internet bills, because it is unlimited access, without quota, with minimum up to 384 kbps for only minimum of Rp. 302,500.
Paying the bill is also easy. I always paid the bill only by transfering money through internet banking and then inform them by email about it.
And that's all. Wasn't so complicated isn't it?
NetZAP should pay me for this and other posts about them in my other blogs. Haha...
