Somewhere in Nowhere

It sounds like a joke when I wrote that my housing complex was so remote that it didn't have a zip code. It still doesn't.

Unfortunately, it is not a joke. Well, at least it is not, for my neighbors-who-share-the-same-street's-name. None of them knows the zip code, or knows if in any case we are entitled to have a zip code.

If you still think I am joking, or just being dramatic, I'll tell you this: go get yourself a newly-revised map and locate our housing complex. It is not even there... Our housing complex, I mean, forget the zip code.

Finally, I realized, this non-existance of zip code should have opened my eyes about the remoteness of my house; therefore, I wouldn't have expected to have a decent internet connection. Learning from my two-month experience, whenever I contacted all those most-recommended providers, they always replied my request with...
"Ibu yang terhormat dan baik hati. Dengan sangat menyesal kami memberitahukan bahwa kompleks perumahan Ibu belum terjangkau oleh layanan kami. Semoga sukses lain kali."

And so I was left with one and one choice only: the one that I am using but I won't recommend. Can you guess what it is?
