3.8/5 (would be 4.5/5 if they advertised realistic speeds like “up to 150 Mbps typical”). Would I buy it again? Yes, but only because Telkomsel’s coverage is unmatched. Just ignore the “500 Mbps” sticker.
Telkomsel has the widest 4G coverage in Indonesia. Even in semi-rural areas (e.g., parts of West Java or Central Java), I consistently got 20–50 Mbps, which is far better than competitors. The modem locks onto their 4.5G signal well.
Note: Telkomsel is an Indonesian carrier. This review is written from the perspective of a user in Indonesia, focusing on real-world expectations versus the advertised "500 Mbps" claim. Rating: 3.8/5
