No - but really keen to know about any alternatives you find.

Hey! go for it and keep us updated. Things to check:

* use speedtest.net to check download and upload speeds

* are they using a satellite link? check the ping times to somewhere in US or similar, for example our rotary web-site in Arizona (rotary-bali-lovina.org) gives ping times around 350 ms. A satellite link will add 300-400 ms giving times of 700 or even more that 1000.

* how complex is the ISP's local network? In the tracrt below all the 202.122.*.* addresses are spicelink. So we need 17 hops to get to google.co.id - but 8 of them are hopping around Spicelink machines before we leave Bali.
