Update on XL ISP in Kuta Bali

My visit to the XL building recently was a rather frustrating affair, getting my machine & cell phone set up with their system, only to hear I needed a land line. After all the good advice from Baliblog readers I decided to pay another visit to sort this ISP issue out.

This afternoon the polite staff listened to my request for home internet access, the fact that I had a laptop and a 3G phone. “Last time I came here you told me I needed a land line. Is that true?” I said. The staff said it was. “See some other people told me I didn’t, maybe it was the bill you wanted?” “It is like this,’ said the staff, “we need a telephone bill together with your credit card and passport.” “Can I use the rental contract on my house rather than a phone bill?” I said. “No, but you can use the phone bill of your friend.” she said. Okay, now we’re rolling! All I’ve got to do is borrow someone’s phone bill and I can give XL lots of money. We’re getting closer to getting online.
