first of all,you want normal ADSL or ADSL2+?
you need to check whether your new house have port.you can check it at http://www.yourbroadband.com.au/
enter your address there.

the best ISP out the would be Internode,iiNet,tpg,etc
many ppl go for tpg bcoz of high quota..i think they do offer 12months contract.or u can go for internode which i am using..voted best ISP of the year and so far so good. they offer no contract too but with high setup fee..same goes to iinet.don go for DoDo

lol np.just extreme adsl2+ with 20mbits maximum

btw i think australia dun have those big shopping mall like mid valley or 1u. most popular is DFO. but there are many boutiques at the street

huge?for me is small..not much shop.but have good promotion

yes.so ppl who say study at australia is cheaper than UK but actually almost the same

ya..both countries are different..
if your course is better in this university in this country then go for tht country
but personally i would go for uk if i still got choice

im saying bout now too..
even my mum also shocked that the living at melbourne so expensive and can be on par with exchange rate of 7 at UK 6/7 years ago where my bro studying at UK that time..but she don't know melbourne is 1 of most expensive city in the world..
IF i never share my 1 bedroom apartment with my gf, my monthly expense(include everything) can be around $2k..but lucky i can share

any1 applied credit card from CBA before? i am interested with student credit card from CBA but i dun know i am eligible for it or not :/

ok..mind to know why you cancel it?
is it easy to apply for student version?
i no need so high for the limit but dun care for the moment..
i also dun mind of those rewards(this is my last year of study)
and how many days you get approved and send it over to you?

hmm i just applied thru online and takes within 10 days..hope it wont b so long..
i also have debit card but i need credit card as a finance/installment for certain item..
mayb i should go to branch and ask for status

thanks

u renew ur visa? i thought ur uni will gif u a application form and they will tell u wat to do>?

which uni r u studying?
AFAIK,in RMIT,i can c a form to extend visa and can seek advice from my teaching advisor...

if i got chance,i will go adelaide as well

is up to u..not much different for me if u apply before ur arrival or after..
for me,i will bring a bit cash and bank draft then apply for bank account after arrival..not like it will take few days to get your bank acount

so u apply for bank account b4 ur arrival then u plan to TT the money to your account?

just bring few cash like AUD300-500 and bank draft..once reach australia go open a bank account and u will get ur account on the spot.then deposit ur bank draft into ur account

i remember i bring about $500 cash and 2k bank draft..1st day when i arrived i never go anywhere n stay at my fren's place..2nd day i only open an account n bank in my bank draft.
$500 cash is more than enough for me(just for foods) and the bank draft cleared within 2 business days..
i guess just depends on ur situation

just be more aware around u especially weekend night..
u nvr know wat gonna happen next..even back in malaysia also got this kind of cases

i doing Bachelor Of IT in RMIT..so far so good except the course workload and difficulty is higher than what i expected..but is a degree

some ISP u need to provide phone number. that means u need to have landline and apply for naked adsl..once connected then ur landline will disconnect..
but some ISP just need your home address like Internode and iiNet...

but actually naked adsl cost is slightly cheaper or same as adsl with landline rental

i am using Internode because this is the only port available in my exchange..Internode voted best ISP of the year.but the usage not rly higher than others(tpg,iprimus,etc) but i believe it worth the price..u need to make sure which exchange are you in and what ports available..
