        "summary": "Indonesia's Minister of Communication and Digital, Meutya Hafid, reported that Bali's average internet download speed reached 105 Mbps during the Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr long holiday, surpassing the national average of 95 Mbps, thanks to the efforts of mobile operators. While overall connectivity remained stable, minor disruptions occurred in areas like Gilimanuk Port and during cultural events before Nyepi, which were swiftly addressed through coordination. The monitoring, part of the 500 nationwide Posko Bersama Rafi 2026 posts, also ensured flight frequency safety at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport, highlighting the government's commitment to seamless travel and digital infrastructure during peak periods.",
        "content": "<p>Minister of Communication and Digital (Menkomdigi) Meutya Hafid\nstated that the internet network speed in Bali Province is above the\nnational average during the establishment of the Joint Post for Ramadan\nand Eid al-Fitr (Rafi) 2026 or the long holiday period. \u201cNationally, the\nfrequency is quite good with an average download speed of 95 Mbps and\nupload speed of 42 Mbps, meaning it is well maintained, but specifically\nin Bali, the average is around 105 Mbps, so it is above the national\naverage,\u201d she said. Speaking in Badung Regency on Tuesday, Meutya\nconveyed that this data was obtained from observations during the Joint\nPost Rafi 2026 from 13 March to 24 March. Upon closer examination, at\nNgurah Rai International Airport alone, the internet network speed\nreached 250 Mbps, so Meutya expressed thanks for the hard work of all\nmobile operators in maintaining connectivity during the long holiday\nmomentum and Eid traffic flow. Looking at the service performance for\nthe whole of Bali, the Ministry of Communication and Digital found that\nthe operator with the highest speed test success rate is Indosat with a\nsuccess ratio of 98.25 percent, followed by Telkomsel at 89.3 percent,\nand XLSmart at 58.99 percent. However, not all areas of Bali have been\ncovered by the testing equipment yet, so it will continue to be pursued\nuntil the closure of the Joint Post Rafi 2026 on 29 March. \u201cSo, God\nwilling, this will operate until the 29th; we will close on 29 March to\nensure smooth and safe homecoming for travellers and holidays for\neveryone,\u201d Meutya said. Although the internet network speed in Bali has\nbeen above average over the last 12 days, the Ministry of Communication\nand Digital does not rule out the fact that on certain days, there was a\ndecline in network performance. For example, from 14-17 March, a decline\noccurred in the Gilimanuk Port area, but the Ministry\u2019s Digital\nInfrastructure Data and Information Service Team immediately coordinated\nwith mobile operators and it was promptly handled. Additionally, there\nwas a note on 18 March during Hari Pengerupukan or the day before Nyepi\nDay, when Balinese community activities increased, leading to a decline\nin performance. \u201cThere is a slight note, like on the 18th there was a\ncultural activity one day before Nyepi, and for the first time in\nhistory perhaps, Nyepi is close to Eid, really only differing by one or\ntwo days, so on the 18th there were disruptions at several points,\u201d said\nthe Minister. The 500 Joint Posts Rafi 2026 across Indonesia are not\nonly used to monitor the internet network; at Ngurah Rai International\nAirport, Minister Meutya also checked flight frequencies. This was done\nto ensure that the communication network is maintained and does not\naffect flight safety during the dense traffic of the long holiday. \u201cIt\nwas reported that frequency interference is not much, only disruptions\nunder 30 seconds, meaning it does not endanger flights, so flights are\nsafe, but we entrust that it be continuously maintained at least until\nthe 29th,\u201d said the Minister.<\/p>",
