If you own a “Kos” or boarding house in Bogor, especially near the university areas or business districts, you probably know that the first question every potential tenant asks isn’t about the bed or the bathroom—it’s: “Is the WiFi fast and stable?”
In 2026, high-speed internet is no longer a luxury; it’s a basic necessity like water and electricity. If your WiFi is slow, your tenants won’t stay for more than a month. After years of trial and error with various internet providers for my properties, I finally settled on Megavision.
Here is my honest take on why I recommend Megavision to my fellow property owners in Bogor.
1. Truly Unlimited with No FUP (The Game Changer)
Modern tenants—mostly students and young professionals—consume an incredible amount of data. They are constantly on Zoom calls, streaming 4K movies, or gaming until dawn. In the past, I used providers like IndiHome, which implemented a Fair Usage Policy (FUP). This meant that after a certain amount of data was used, the speed would drop significantly.
By the 20th of every month, I would get bombarded with complaints from angry tenants. Since switching to Megavision, those complaints have stopped. They offer truly unlimited internet without FUP, meaning the speed stays the same from the 1st to the 30th, no matter how much data the kids consume.
2. Flat Monthly Bills
Managing a boarding house is all about predictable expenses. One thing I love about Megavision is the Flat Pricing. The price you see on the brochure is exactly what you pay on the bill. There are no “introductory prices” that double after six months, which makes my monthly bookkeeping much easier and more transparent.
3. “Bogor Weather” Resistance
Bogor is famous for being the “Rain City.” In my experience, heavy afternoon downpours often cause internet signals to “die” or lag heavily. However, Megavision’s fiber optic infrastructure in Bogor feels much more robust. Even during a tropical storm, my tenants stay quiet and happy because their connection remains stable.
4. The Silver Package: Best Value for Small Businesses
For owners of smaller boarding houses, I highly recommend their Silver Package. It is incredibly affordable but offers professional-grade stability. Some packages even come with bundled Cable TV, which adds a premium feel to the common room without breaking my budget.
My Comparison with Other Providers
To be fair, I’ve tried them all:
-
IndiHome: They are everywhere and easy to install, but the FUP limits were a constant headache for my business model.
-
Biznet: Their speed is top-notch, but for a mid-range boarding house budget, their pricing was a bit steep for my liking.
-
Megavision: For me, this is the perfect “middle ground.” You get reliable quality at a budget-friendly price.
Final Verdict:
If you want to keep your rooms occupied and your tenants happy, don’t skimp on the WiFi. In my years of running a business in Bogor, Megavision has been the most reliable partner I’ve had. It’s a small investment that pays off by keeping your turnover low and your reputation high.
