The campaign of cheap tariff was introduced by telecommunication company is utilized by their subscribers for many purposes. To them who have many activities on internet environment, this campaign is very useful and giving them a lot of benefits. New internet user also increases dramatically and as the result, we often to hear that telecommunication company itself experience international bandwidth issue due to subscriber’s growths
One of the new internet users are them who work or utilize internet service for supporting their daily work or internet service is as the way how they will get money everyday. To support the activity, they used to subscribed internet access to telecommunication company and will pay monthly instead of daily payment (deduct balance on their mobile phone number). They also buy a domain which indicates the subject they are working on so they can update the content each time they want to.
It was that we have limited information about web hosts provider, how to buy a new domain, where we can find domain provider trustworthy and how the procedures as accessing to internet itself is quite expensive enough. Now, since Telecommunication Company campaigns cheap tariff to access internet through wireless internet service, we can find many domain providers and detail information about how to buy, tutorial etc. We can choose them refer to what exactly we need and our purpose to create a domain. Each of them is offering many packages which we can choose based on our purpose
As we can see right now, there is so many new internet users and they always grow day by day since campaign of cheap tariff introduced by Telecommunication Company. More people involve and work on internet service for many purposes and more new domain providers are coming since more users internet need to have their own domain instead of free one

Utilizing cheap tariff internet

Cheap tariff or high quality
Almost all Indonesia telecommunication operators offered a cheat tariff to make a call, SMS and data services to their customers lately even some of them give a free tariff to those services for a certainty period. The question, are they achieving revenue as they have been expected? The second question, do customers satisfy enough with all services offered by telecommunication operators with cheap tariff? Some of us might be wondering how telecommunication operators can achieve significant revenue if they always campaign a cheap tariff to almost their products and services. Meanwhile they need to deploy more and more network infrastructures to support new products and services
We know that if tariff is cheaper than the quality will be more poor and vice versa, if the quality better than tariff will be more expensive. Any kind of industry will do the same once the launch their products and services. How about telecommunication industry? Telecommunication industry is prestigious business. They have high technology to support the business solution and always need to be upgrade. In some cases, if they want to launch new products and services but their network infrastructure is not support than sometimes they must replace the network existing and it is very costly to deploy it. in other word, telecommunication industry is very costly industry, they need high investment to build a network infrastructures. By all of this reason, it means that if they give a cheaper tariff to some of their products and services, the quality will go down than previous one.
To maintain the quality of service during they launch a tariff promotion, usually they place it at low traffic. For example telecommunication operators give a free tariff to make a call, SMS or data service at after midnight until early morning (00.00 to 06.00 AM). In another scenario, they give a cheap tariff for little time after they make a call or send a number of SMS or free access to internet for a mount of bytes and then revert back to the normal tariff. This scenario can be applied at any time.
By applying many scenarios of tariff promotion, telecommunication operators still are able to achieve significant revenue as they expected before. Actually the revenue is less than normal tariff but it is very significant if we see more deeply that almost all telecommunication operators offered the same tariff. Maintaining the customers to keep loyal to them is very difficult if they do not offer the smart solution to them. And the cheap tariff is most relevant solution to face the situation where every telecommunication is trying to get as many as customers. And as the result, it will influence to the quality of services
And as we can see and experience right now, by applying cheap or free tariff to any products and services offered by telecommunication operators, we often experience a problem to their services. Sometimes, our call suddenly drop and it is taking only a few minute to make a call and then it is dropping. Sending a SMS need a long time to reach to destination or very bad connection to access internet through CDMA 1x or 3G. We used to experience this case right now and may be still long time

The speed quality of Wireless Internet Service
The speed quality of Wireless Internet Service (CDMA, 3G, GPRS or EVDO) was influenced by many factors and one of them is internet bandwidth to international gateway. Usually, telecommunication operators have limited bandwidth to international gateway due to budget reason. If telecommunication operators have enough international bandwidth, the speed will fast enough and as the result, they will get a less complaint from customers and vice versa if they have a limited international bandwidth, they will have poor performance and more complaint from their customers. The main issue to the telecommunication operators is; it is very expensive to have international bandwidth and they must think man times before they decide to add more bandwidth once they experience lack of bandwidth
Telecommunication operators used to lease a mount of bandwidth to a company that provided international bandwidth and forward it to the world wide (internet exchange). Qwest is one of them that provided such demand from any customers especially Asia. Qwest high speed internet will offer much benefit to any telecommunication operator that have been planned to have more and more bandwidth capacity in the future. As we knew that internet demand will always grow in the future and will always like that. Preparing a huge bandwidth capacity to international gateway is a good investment for the future since telecommunication industry with their entire product and service will have more and more demand from customers. Wireless internet service and VOIP call are both services that will have high demand in the future. Preparing all the network system to support both services at early is smart decision to anticipate high demand in the future. International bandwidth in one of them they need to prepare early
And talking about VOIP, it seems will be a first choice for customers once they want to make a call to abroad or long distance call. VOIP is high important role to telecommunication operators or VOIP provider and it is gaining significant revenue to the company. In many cases, VOIP service is becoming a first solution for telecommunication operators once they want to promote the call service since it is cheap and simple implementation
Usually telecommunication operator campaign a cheap tariff to make a call to local and long distance call once their competitor did the same early. This action is taken to maintain their old customer and gain new customer as many as possible. Qwest phone service also the similar method. They offer competitive price in order to gain more and more customer. To be more attractive, usually telecommunication operators and provider offer bundling packages to the service. It could be handset bundling, free call for certainty time or bundling call between local and log distance call

wireless internet service
I am sure there many people is disappoint with the wireless internet access (CDMA 1x, 3G, EVDO) provided by many telecommunication operators. At the first time, they can surf very fast but few months later it will very slow
Many factors influence the speed of wireless internet access. It could be hardware modem issue, BTS occupancy, distance from BTS to BSC, bandwidth to internet etc. But as a customer we do not want to know about it all. We just need the service as telecommunication promise in the promotion after we paid
Usually, telecommunication operators are getting occupancy issue either BTS or internet bandwidth but mostly it is because Radio Frequency (RF) capacity. Telecommunication operators promote to have more and more customers but in many cases, the network is saturated. What happening in this case is, customer session is still there but has poor quality since many request from customers but limit bandwidth capacity. So then the session is still going on but the speed is very slow or no response from the website
I used to use Wimode modem from Bakrie telecom to access to internet and as any other telecommunication operators, sometime the speed is good but during the peak hour sometimes getting slow. Sometimes when I read a page from websites for a few minutes suddenly I can browse to the next page or I can not to access to another website. Then I have to wait for few minutes to be able to access to the next page or new website. What happen once we read the page from the website we love is our connection was terminated by the network due to our session is in dormant mode. Dormant mode is idle session once no traffic is downloaded from us. What happen in the next once we need to browse to new website or the next page is, we have to make new session again. We have to request a channel from BTS and so on
To keep the session we already made from our modem, BTS until bandwidth internet once we read a page we love for a few minute, I used to do ping session to particular website or address. This is to ensure that we always occupy a channel. Another thing, by pinging to particular website or address we will notice how fast the connection we have and prepare once the connection will be dropped
To do pinging session you can follow the steps below;
1. Click start
2. Click run
3. Click cmd then windows prompt will appear
4. type a website you want to test or address for example www.yahoo.com -t
You can identify your connection by seeing the response that appears there. The best response time is less than 1 ms (direct connection to the system or located in the same network). For CDMA 1x system, response time around 500 ms to 1500 ms is still acceptable. We can say the connection is good. But for 3G system it should be less than that. It is depending on website you want to test. And if the response time is more than that range, please prepare as in few second the session will be no response. The page you are seeing will lank.

Why my mobile internet connection running so slow
For them, who has internet connection through mobile telecommunication I am sure they have much disappoints than happy. Either they are using 3G or CDMA platform they will feel the same. At the first time maybe they will so happy since their mobile internet connection is going as fast as promised by provider. But after 3 to 4 they will very disappointed since it is going so slow. And than they will complaint so hard to provider by writing a mail, calling to customer services or the final option, they will publish the complaint to news paper or another media public. It is fair if customer had such complaint since they have spent much money to have internet connection but they got nothing
To improve our knowledge, this writing is intended to share the information what really process and why their connections are failed
What is actual speed in my internet connection through mobile telecommunication?
I am sure; you will be very happy once you are dialing to have internet connection through your GSM or CDMA mobile number and it is connected. In the right below pop up menu will display the speed you will get during accessing to internet. For 3G platform it will display 3.6 Mbps or 156 Kbps in CDMA. Which such speed they can download huge data from internet very fast and access real time service without delay such as webcam, voice conference at the same time
There are many factors that can influence throughput including -
• Handset type
• BTS occupancy
• RF issues
• E1 usage and issues (backhaul from BTS)
• BSC/SBS/CPDS issues
• IP network issues (routing, errors, retries etc.)
• AAA Authentication and Accounting issues
• Redknee IPCG issues
• Internet link availability and utilisation
• User Application behaviour
• Application server load and issues
• Subscriber behaviour

How is the speed of you 3G services?
About 3 years ago, at the first introduction of 3G services in Indonesia market, many customers expected that they can do browse to several websites very fast and download to huge file as well. Through 3G services, customers believe that the distance is no more issue for them to have virtual connection with their family or friends located at different city since 3G services provided video call feature in order to they can face to face to talk. Unfortunately they get not many as they expected. In this case, it seems customers have too high expectation. That is what happened to 3G services in Indonesia
At the first time, telecommunication operators are giving what they promised to their customers to have exiting experience by doing wireless internet access. A telecommunication operator offered high speed data access through 3G wireless network. For around 2-3 months, customers really got what have been promised by telecommunication operators. They got new experience to access internet through 3G services. They can connect their family and friend through video call feature provided in the 3G services. Customers need only a few minute to download huge file and real time services can be accessed very smooth. In the short sentence, customers are very satisfied with 3G services at the first introduction of this service.
Unfortunately after 2-3 months since the first introduction, the quality was going down. The quality of speed is suddenly becoming very slowly and almost they have no response from the URL address. And then cam again another telecommunication operators offer the same service and off course cheaper tariff. More people are trying to feel this experience and buying a new 3G services offered by new comer of 3G provider. And as expected before, the same case happens again. It is only around 2-3 months that 3G service is giving what they have promised. The quality of speed is becoming very bad after 2-3 months later.
Many factors are influences the quality of speed in 3G services. And the main reason is the saturation of the network either BTS capacity or internet upstream to ISP due more customers occupied network. If so, telecommunication operators should expand their network or add more bandwidth capacity to their ISP partners so then customers will get what they have been promising during promotion
This is the bad case, when my friend was trying to upload a file (around 20 KB) to update his blog/website, what happened in the next is, he was trying so many times to upload but always failed. The funny this is, he was connecting to 3G network to update his blog/website. And he is only accessing one URL address, it is a multiply. More often when you are trying to connect to 3G network, you will be responded by GPRS network. The result is you will get GPRS speed and not 3G speed or your session connected to 3G network but you get very slow speed due to high occupancy network. And in this case, my friend connected to 3G network but no traffic is coming. His session is connecting but can do nothing. It is very bad because you pay for 3G service but in many cases you get GPRS service or get nothing

Opera Mini Vs WAP application
To accompany you once you “trapped” at the moment you can do nothing, surfing internet through WAP application or Opera Mini in your mobile phone is a good decision. Or may be when you want to waste your time during waiting for someone you do not know when he/she will come to, browsing the favorites sites through your gadget will forget your waiting time. Surfing internet through mobile phone is very simple and very fun to accompany you anywhere and anytime once you need “a friend” at your lonely time
There are two famous websites used to be visited by people during accessing internet through mobile phone, they are www.plurk.com and www.twitter.com. Both are social networks “mikroblogs”. As we know right now social network is booming in all around the world. Providing the social network website that can be accessed through a mobile phone/gadget is a smart idea. People will connect each other anytime and anywhere easily as they only need to spent a few time to let anyone in around the world know what you do right now and sending new recent photograph to anyone
If you want to access both URL through Opera Mini or WAP application then there will be different view you will got. Any websites you visit will have different view between Opera Mini and WAP Application. Opera Mini will display same page as you access it through laptop/PC through internet office. Each page will be displayed by Opera Mini browser is fast enough even it is the real view once you accessing through PC/Laptop. It can happen due to Opera Mini browser convert the page to the different format packet to be a simple and small packet.
Meanwhile through WAP application, usually depend on its websites servers either they provide WAP format website or not. If they provide then the simple page will be displayed in the WAP browser and usually the page is different in comparison with the page you access through Laptop/PC. We need to try for some time so we understand much and more friendly about each page available in the websites. But generally, websites will be displayed as same page with accessing through Laptop/PC.
Opera Mini browser is more easy and simple to be used than WAP application browser. Usually, people choose Opera Mini as the browser in their mobile phone/gadget due to both reasons above. And another reason is through Opera Mini browser, page will be displayed as the same one when accessing the page with laptop/PC. But sometimes for few websites, both Opera Mini and WAP browser will display the same page. It is because Opera Mini give option can be chosen by people during accessing its page
For example you need to access www.witter.com. By using WAP browser, the first page will you find is simple preview about this site and account you have to type. No more information we can find here before we log on. Meanwhile by using Opera Mini, there are two type of view page available there and we have to choose one of them. If we choose “standard” option then the page will be displayed as we see it by using Laptop/PC. By default, Opera Mini will display the same page as using WAP browser. “Standard” option will display more information about www.twitter.com than WAP browser. We can choose language we want, join to this community and more menus as you will see them at your laptop/PC
So which browser you like the most? You decide it
