Quality of WiFi and 3G reception in Amed (Bali)?
I am considering going for at least one month to Amed (to get more into free-diving). I need to be able to make Skype calls and other work-related tasks. I need a speed equivalent to one allowing me to watch YouTube videos. Ubud is way more connected in comparison, so I don't expect anything wonderful.
Wondering if anyone has done this before and if yes: what 3G provider they used, or what cafe/restaurant/hotel had a good/reliable enough WiFi connection?
Note that I went to Amed last year and the 3G connection on the two providers I used at the time was terrible.
P.S. I also posted this question on nomadforum.io/t/quality-of-wifis-3g-reception-in-amed-bali/7310

If you were there last year and the quality was terrible, why do you expect something to change this year?

@MarkMayo Telkomsel for sure, the other one I'm not sure. I looked at the logos listed on prepaid-data-sim-card.wikia.com/wiki/Indonesia & I think the other one was "XL Axiata"... but I'm not sure.
