In short. In towns and tourist areas internet comes by fibre, and the cable on your street chooses the provider, not you. Biznet Home is most common in Canggu, Seminyak, Ubud and Denpasar: from 250,000 rupiah a month for speeds up to 300 Mbps; IndiHome from Telkomsel has the widest coverage: 100 Mbps for 280,000 as of September 2026; Iconnet from PLN runs on the power company's poles: 35 Mbps for 239,000, 50 for 299,000; Starlink for villas in the fields and in the north: about 510,000 for Residential Lite and 800,000 for Residential, plus equipment. Before renting, ask the owner about the provider, the plan and whose name the contract is in, and measure the speed on site by day and in the evening. The backup channel is your phone as a hotspot.
How it works. In towns and tourist areas of Bali internet comes by fibre, and each house has one or two providers that have run a cable to exactly that street. So the choice is usually small: first you check the address on the operator's site or ask the neighbours, then you compare plans. Connection takes from three days to two weeks, a technician comes with a router, and the contract is for six months or a year. All prices below are per month, not counting promotions.
Biznet Home. The most common provider in Canggu, Seminyak, Ubud and Denpasar. According to the Biznet site the home plan starts from 250,000 rupiah a month at speeds up to 300 Mbps, a package with TV from 225,000, a gaming plan with a public IP from 700,000. Biznet also has its own coworking spaces with the same internet.
IndiHome from Telkomsel. A state network with the widest coverage, including villages where the others do not go. On the Telkomsel site as of September 2026: 100 Mbps for 280,000, 150 for 310,000, 200 for 350,000, 300 for 500,000 rupiah a month, connection 45,000, minimum term 180 or 360 days. There are packages with Netflix and game servers.
Iconnet from PLN. Internet from the power company on its own poles, often the only option in new areas. According to dealer summaries for 2026 for Java and Bali: 35 Mbps for 239,000, 50 for 299,000, 100 for 399,000 rupiah before the 11 percent tax, a one-year contract, installation free under a promotion. Prices at dealers and on the official site iconnet.id may differ, so go by the site.
Starlink. Satellite internet for villas in the rice fields and in the north, where there is no cable. According to media summaries for 2026: the Residential Lite plan is about 510,000 rupiah a month, Residential 800,000, and the equipment kit is from 4.75 million for the Mini to 5.9 to 6.5 million for the standard one. The exact price is shown only by the official site after you enter the address. In rain and downpours the speed drops, the dish needs a clear sky, and the villa needs stable electricity.
What to check before renting a villa. Ask the owner three things: which provider, which plan and whose name the contract is in. Internet is usually included in the rent, but "there is Wi-Fi" can mean 10 Mbps shared by five villas. Check the speed on site by day and in the evening, because in the evening the network in tourist areas slows down. Find out what is done when the electricity goes off: a router without power is useless, and outages in Bali happen every week, so for working from home you need a small uninterruptible power supply for the router, which costs less than one month of internet.
Backup channel. Mobile internet in Bali is good, and your phone as a hotspot covers a day without the home cable. Keep a data package with a margin on your SIM; how to choose one is in the guide on SIM cards. On Nyepi, the day of silence, mobile internet on the island is switched off while wired internet works; more in the holiday calendar.
What this means for you. You do not choose the provider, the cable on your street does, so address first, then plan. For 250,000 to 350,000 rupiah a month Bali has fibre at 100 to 300 Mbps, which is enough for calls and streaming. If you work from home: a power backup for the router and a mobile data package in reserve, and then power cuts and rain will not wreck your working day.
