I owe you the 2nd part of my review about Lombok and the Gilis. Coverage throughout Lombok is variable and changes between 3G and 4G. Speeds can be congested sometimes. The Gilis face another problem: frequent power outages. They happen multiple times per day and can be short, but also last for hours. I had days when power was longer off than on. This of course kills all WiFi too. Surprisingly, the mobile networks are not resilent too. 3G and 4G goes off soon after each outage, only 2G remains, but is useless for data. Thousands of WiFis on the islands are linked to the mobile networks, not any cable link. This leads to slow speeds and congestion. The power and internet situation on the island of Lombok is generally a bit better than on the Gilis.
