    ah ganun ba. Dito sa ACT, bihira palang ang mga suburbs na may NBN cables.

    mahihirapan kayo mag palagay ng NBN or landline sa ganyang situation.
    At kung option nyo is to have the standard ADSL dapat meron existing cables sa unit niyo, which is very doubtful dahil malamang nasa unit ng landlady yun.

    Sayang naman, so hindi mo nasusubaybayan si Agnes?

    dapat din pala isama sa budget yung one off payment sa pagpapakabit ng internet service like

    $100 - installation fee
    $ 140 - modem (payable in 3 months)

    you need to provide your own telephone unit.
    kapag lilipat ka ng bahay and you need to transfer your internet, then another $100 ulit yun.

    sa PM na lang natin pag usapan si Agnes.hehehe

    Ang mahal pala talaga ng Internet sa Oz.. gaano kabilis yung $69.99.. 70Mbps?

    Just for comparison, dito sa Thailand yung 18Mbps is 899baht... roughly $35

    Aw bakit? Off-topic ba ang Netflix?

    Kapag nag-subscribe ka sa Netflix, eh magiging part na yun ng Monthly budget mo hehehe

    Kaya ko naman natanong, eh kundi rin lang kumpleto ang content, hindi na lang ako kukuha... makaka-save pa ako pandagdag doon sa $69.99 na internet :((

    I got Netflix - exploring the 1st month trial ngayon. So far ok naman, watching House of Cards. May mga movies din na okey.

    I am with Iinet and they have a partnership with Netflix whereby libre ang data usage sa Netflix.

    Will we continue our subscription with Netflix after a month; pwede na cguro, at $12/month and the good feeling that you are legit with your movies. It feels good! :)

    Aw bakit? Off-topic ba ang Netflix?

    Kapag nag-subscribe ka sa Netflix, eh magiging part na yun ng Monthly budget mo hehehe

    Kaya ko naman natanong, eh kundi rin lang kumpleto ang content, hindi na lang ako kukuha... makaka-save pa ako pandagdag doon sa $69.99 na internet :((
    I got Netflix - exploring the 1st month trial ngayon. So far ok naman, watching House of Cards. May mga movies din na okey.

    I am with Iinet and they have a partnership with Netflix whereby libre ang data usage sa Netflix.

    Will we continue our subscription with Netflix after a month; pwede na cguro, at $12/month and the good feeling that you are legit with your movies. It feels good! :)
    $12 wow that's not bad, parang nagdinner ka lang, kesa mag-online stream ng malabong movies

    saludo ako sayo ma'am.

    kasama sa monthly budget nyo yung MIL remittance ha. hehehe..

    to think na yung Dad mo ay nakikishare pa ng gastos nyo sa rent.

    so in theory , nag papadala yung Dad mo sa MIL mo monthly.

    good on you. Mabilis ang dating ng karma, mabuti kang in-law.
