Yep there's a spectrum. Some cost as low as a couple grand. But the OP is specifically asking about a prestigious elite private school…

Thanks for that insight!

Yes, unfortunately. A classmate of my daughter transferred to a "better" school in an afluent area. She ended up transferring back 2 terms…

Thanks for your feedback, it's much appreciated! Do you happen to know how this modem would compare with a TP-Link VX420-G2h?

I have FTTP. And yeah, it was why i was asking originally. But the ozbargainer in me would prefer not to buy anything if i can just…

after reading through the thread you linked, it doesn't seem like a particularly great outcome to try and use it with a different isp? Was…

Yeah i don't use the voip part of it at all. I read somewhere (either reddit or whirlpool) that this particular router is remotely…

is this a good router? Currently using a iinet/tpg issued TP-Link VX220-G2v; which works okay, but not particularly amazing. I also want to…

Got my code, don't see a minimum spend on it

Sad to say, but being able to afford to go to a prestigeous private school isn't just being about scraping together the tuition fee. It's…

I called up iinet to ask whether or not my 24 months lock in was over (they supplied a free tplink vx420-g2h when i signed up, on the…

Are people going to start lining up for vacuum cleaners?

i have the same sentiment; competition is great but i have great concern that many of these new brands just won't survive due to extreme…

i thought you said tasmanians.

These aren't worthwile deals at all. The base 17 actually does offer a lot more value for the money this year so getting the 16 just to…

we still have carls jr? i thoguht they closed down in aus.

this seems like a terrible deal vs just buying outright and going with a cheap plan. It's not even a backdoor to getting a cheaper phone…

ah cool, i didn't know about that.

usually the waiting period waivers are for extras though and not the hospital component? back when i had hospital cover, i basically needed…

same here for iinet. downgrade from 250/20 to the 100/20 plan over the weekend; was expecting to be upgraded back to 500/50; so far the…

Used my accor plus membership to get another $50 of value during dinner last night, one of the best perks and will be sad when they…

Worth saving some coin if you don't benefit from the speed boost; honestly. I'd defo do it if it saved $15-20 bucks a month.

that's actually a pretty good idea. I might do the same. currently with iinet and id save 5 bucks downgrading, but eh i'll wait for all…

It can be hit and miss; genius level 2 is easy to achieve for booking.com and that also comes with a 10-15% discount as well as comp…

There are material changes to the accor plus benefit too which is a good chunk of the value out of the platinum charge. They've upped the…

On one hand i'm happy that increased competition puts more downward pressure on every brand. On the other hand, there's so many chinese EV…

Those days are well and truly gone.

i have a work supplied phone; but for personal I use a year long expiry prepaid sim with very little inclusions, so my annual outlay is $74…

I'm guessing this would make for a bad wall charger to use permanently fixed to the wall, or is there a way to disengage the battery?…

yeah it's just a matter of time i reckon. They have the right to use the brand for some years but that'll run out and they won't want to…
