hey guys,i plan to study there after getting my spm result..hmm..planning to take foundation of commerce...

Hey guys!
I wanna ask you guys something...
How is the broadband service over there?
If you stay at the hostel there, does the internet provided?
If yes, how was it? Bad all the time?
Thanks ~

If you stay at the hostel, free WiFi is provided (DeConnexion - free registration required). Max speed depends on the numbers of users online. Last time I used it it was only average with predictable downtimes (aka A LOT).

Streamyx is available over there but only max of 1Mbps. However, it depends on which housing phase you are going to stay at. Some areas only get max speed of 100KB/s but I usually get 170KB/s-ish.

can i ask where to get the application form?

maybe want go to here and study and how about the cert?

outstation or local?

Owh okay... Thanks for the info..
Anyway, i heard the telephone line there was bad, particularly for Digi....

Right now its Celcom. I had to call out a couple of times before I can get a successful call. I either get hang ups, robot sounding voice, no sound from both parties or voice mails.... =(

I suspect that there are quite a number of Celcom Broadband users there, causing congestion. If I head down to the city centre, all is fine.

Well, i did tried to call digi number there, phew it was hard to get....
and yea, celcom broadband is famous there huh? Lots of them are using there...haha!

Yeah, because of that my calls kept on dropping off and 3G video calls become terrible. The other party's face became jumbled squares.
Last year it was just fine.
sigh......

I guess it bad news for me but good news for Curtin, it means more students have enrolled to Curtin...

haha okay, thanks for the information...
asked a lot cuz its quite frustrating to call my friend whose at curtin now...
you have to at least call 5 times or so before getting the "toot toot" sound...
the worst of all, they charge me when i heard "sorry, wat not available"..

i got an offer to study chemical eng in curtin also.. but hvn make my decision yet
juz wanted to ask curtin chemical eng has a lot of ppl enroll each year??
n how abt the lecturer?
coz dunno whether job prospect good or not wen come out from chemical eng..
thanks

Hi.... I'm going to Curtin next month, taking a foundation course.
