Core Network Consolidation Project
The project enhances network performance nationwide, with notable improvements for users in rural and remote areas. For example, residents of Kalimantan now experience a 15 percent increase in average downlink speed and an 11 percent reduction in round-trip time (RTT) for Facebook usage. Additionally, customers in Central Java are experiencing better internet performance for gaming and live video streaming, the official release said.
