Sige, so far, I'm leaning more on Optus. Bet ko kasi yung package deal nila for the $30 prepaid plan. And so far, okay naman daw ang signal. Nasaang state/city ka nga pala?
@Liolaeus
Ang saya naman nung 20 MBPS! Dito sa Pinas masaya na nga ako sa 3 MBPS hahaha.

Ooooh, nice! Gusto ko rin mag-tour diyan sa Melbourne pag nakapag-settle na ko sa Oz.
@Liolaeus
Mas strikto nga, pero yung boyfriend ko gumagamit siya ng ibang IP address so nakakapag-download parin siya sa torrent hahaha.

Ano pala ISP ng bf mo? Sa totoo lang, ok lang kahit 3Mbps basta stable at di na d-disconnect from time to time. Nakakainis sa online gaming yung nasa kasarapan ng laban, biglang ma DC.

Sa unit siya nakatira at the moment and yung landlord na yung nagpa-install nung internet eh, so di na niya yun choice. Pero anyway sabi niya TPG (https://www.tpg.com.au/) daw yung gamit nila and 25 MBPS yung download speed. Not bad na, I think.
@raiden14
Ano yung r-sim, batchmate?

Haha, onga possible yun kasi central yung internet dun sa unit so maraming gumagamit all at the same time!
@Liolaeus
Yes, mga 20 minutes daw siya nagdodownload ng 1 GB na movie, pag maraming seeders sa torrent. Haha samantalang dito, mga 12 hours or more ata ako nagdodownload ng ganun. So not bad na talaga.

Yes, nasa current column rin yung akin. Baka kasi hindi natin pwedeng basta-basta yun i-withdraw kaya hindi siya nasa "available" column? Ewan, hula ko lang yun. Update mo nalang kami dahil ikaw yung mas mauuna makipag-meet sa banker hehe.

For credit card, at least 2 payslips before you can apply. Also some of my office mates mentioned ING for higher savings rate, and they gave me a website called ratecity.com.au
