Indonesia targets 100 Mbps household broadband in fibre expansion
The government estimates a monthly price of Rp140,000 and is also targeting higher 5G adoption over the next three to five years.
Indonesia's Communication and Digital Affairs Ministry is expanding residential fibre-optic networks under a national strategy aimed at providing households with 100 Mbps fixed-line internet. Deputy Minister Nezar Patria said the service would have an estimated monthly cost of Rp140,000, with pricing strictly below Rp200,000.
In a statement on October 30, Nezar said bringing fibre connections into homes would allow family members to use one connection, helping to reduce communication spending. He said the expansion was intended to improve connection quality and support economic productivity.
Nezar said households could use the faster access for education, remote work, developing businesses and accessing public services. The ministry described fixed broadband as a central part of its wider effort to strengthen Indonesia's basic digital infrastructure.
Alongside the fibre rollout, the ministry aims to raise 5G adoption from below 10 per cent to between 30 and 40 per cent within three to five years. It said both initiatives were intended to broaden access to digital infrastructure and enable more people to participate in the digital economy.
