    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.

    Ui gusto ko yan work around. haha

    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. :D

    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.

    Nakabili na ako ng Aud 35.5 bili ko
    Wow, san ka nakabili? Ayos na ayos na yang forex nakuha mo.

    hi batchmates, naka deposit na rin ako a few weeks ago using BPI para less hassle and mas confident. rate na nakuha ko nun was 35.2 and as somebody mentioned in this forum, totoo nga un "preferred" rate kung me BPI gold card since un normal rate that day was really 35.8! The BPI fee was 2,742.00 (can't remember the breakdown).

    so far un sa NAB banking ko is wala naman nabawas from the receiving bank. though un amount is nasa "Current" column and not in the "Available" column, ganun rin ba sa inyo? i will be meeting with the banker tomorrow to get the atm and will ask about applying for a credit card

    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. :D

    Hi batchmates. Kailangan pala via internet banking ilipat ung funds from isaver to the transaction account (the non savings account) and then you can only withdraw from the latter. Anyways, smooth naman, allot 30mins for this and don't forget to also request for a bank cert from the banker which is needed for renting.

    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
