About
PT First Media Tbk, branded as First Media, was an ISP that sold high-speed cable broadband (up to 1 Gbps) and pay TV services directly to residential consumers in urban areas like Greater Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bali via its FastNet product since launching cable TV operations as KabelVision in March 1999 and broadband in June 2007, with major milestones including acquisition of Linknet in 2008 to bolster its network, divestment of its 29.04% stake in Linknet to Axiata and XL Axiata in June 2022 for financial restructuring, and full integration of its home internet, IPTV, and pay TV businesses into XL Axiata effective September 27, 2024 as part of the B2C transfer from Linknet, after which the brand no longer exists in its original independent state but its services persist under XL Axiata's portfolio as of November 2025 (Source), (Source), (Source).
