First Media | FastNet : Over-Booking Ratio

Recently, Dicky Moechtar, director of PT First Media, said that the company has totally 3.5 Gbps bandwidth serving 122 th. customers. He also claimed that FastNet allows users to have external download rate 18 kBps (average I guess), which is according to him, three times faster than the usual external download rate offered by other operators.

If we take the numbers given by Dicky, then it seems that FastNet using an over-booking figure of around 1:5 (corresponds to 'simultaneous factor' of 0.2 for accessing service at the highest allowable rate - note: this is for external traffic!)

Exploring FirstMedia

PT. First Media Tbk. (AS23700) is formerly known as PT. Broadband Multimedia, which provides cable TV and Internet services (currently only in the greater Jakarta area and Surabaya) under brand-name "FastNet"

It is claimed that the company has totally 3.5 Gbps bandwidth (but it is unclear, whether this is international + domestic peering, or solely international bandwidth). They expect to increase this to 5 Gbps by the end of this year. As of now, FirstMedia has served around 122 th. customers in those mentioned areas.
