A collaborative survey report by the Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo) and the Katadata Insight Center (KIC), titled *Digital Literacy Status in Indonesia 2022*, reveals that unstable internet connectivity remains a challenge for some Indonesians, particularly in remote, outermost, and forward areas (3T regions).
However, this perception-based survey shows that the majority of respondents believe that internet speed and coverage in Indonesia have improved compared to five years ago.
75% of respondents in non-3T areas reported that internet signals have become more stable over the past five years.
The Ministry of Kominfo and KIC stated that 61% of respondents in 3T regions also perceived an improvement in internet speed and coverage.
Meanwhile, 20% of respondents in non-3T areas reported no change in internet speed and coverage over the past five years, while this proportion was higher in 3T areas at 33%.
Furthermore, 5% of respondents in non-3T areas reported a decline in internet speed and coverage, compared to 6% in 3T areas.
The survey involved 10,000 internet users aged 13-70 from 34 provinces and 514 regencies/cities across Indonesia. 51% of respondents were male, and 49% were female.
The survey was conducted from August to September 2022 through face-to-face interviews using a multistage random sampling method. The margin of error is approximately 0.98%, with a 95% confidence interval.
Respondents represented diverse backgrounds, including housewives, entrepreneurs, employees, students, farmers, and others. The full survey report can be accessed and downloaded at https://survei.literasidigital.id/.
