From my experience even 100 mbits isn't enough to reliably stream 4k without buffering, though I don't stream on Netflix.

I'm tossing up if I should keep waiting. I don't have a 4k TV but looking to be ready for the increased nbn tiers later in the year.

Seems like a decent deal. Looks like it delivers to all major mainland cities but does cost to get it to Perth.

going to be a long flight without a seat

A bit different because Costco really just breaks even on their products, pretty much all of their profit is in the memberships

Great deal and you don't have to deal with the least spatially aware people in Australia

Is it worth waiting for a possible sale for March/April next year or just bite the bullet at 1250?

That's a very narrow view of the impact of these changes, the reality is that lower rates will have a number of impacts. The RBA keeping…

Eh we had below expected inflation for 6 years prior to the recent increase, in fact our 10Y inflation mean is within bounds

Property price changes react slowly, but either way the RBAs role isn't to control property prices

Doubt it. The effect of rate changes take 6-12 months to be seen, I expect inflation to slowly ease into the 2-3% range despite the rise.

Agree and also consider which bank you expect to pass on all the rate cuts for at least 12-18 months or you'll be back looking again

If your LVR is under 70 and you're borrowing over 750k I'd be surprised if you weren't able to get under 5.8% with a big bank or 5.7% with…

I was there before that so couldn't comment, but my ride they have there is the flying dinosaur.

Yes. I went with the fast past so I had a set time to get in. I like Nintendo/Mario, but it was still overcrowded. The setting was nice but…

Unless you're a Nintendo mega fan or under 16 super Nintendo world will be underwhelming imo.

The road death toll ever since they started tracking always has speeders as the leading cause of deaths, not slow drivers.
