RAA Road Safety Learning to Drive Learner's Test

RAA Road Safety Learning to Drive Learner's Test
Driving tests are here.

Three - Internet & Communications - Mobile Broadband

Three - Internet & Communications - Mobile Broadband
3 Mobile Broadband options. A promotion - all plans half price (1Gb 14.50, 2GB $24.50, 3GB $34.50, 5GB $49.50). They charge for additional usage.

Unwired - Plans & Pricing

Unwired - Plans & Pricing
Pre-paid internet plans. Shaping to 32K when download quota reached. Could survive on that for emails, job and apartment applications. Just need to heavily use the AdBlocker to reduce the junk traffic. :))
Starter plan includes 7 days / 120MB.

Unwired - Plans & Pricing

Unwired - Plans & Pricing
Wireless internet plans. They should reduce their prices soon. :) 3G is coming fast with adorable options (price, coverage, speeds, download limits).
Unwired offers pre-paid option. This could be the way to go until things settle down. It depends on the coverage and the quality of signal, of course.
Hope Voda extends that 3G offer into 2008.

New Drivers Handbooks : VicRoads

New Drivers Handbooks : VicRoads
As the title says. Handbooks for driving test preparation in Victoria. I hope the rules are the same all over Australia. Think I noticed some slight differences between NSW road tests and Victorian books.

Hot offer - 5GB Mobile Broadband for only $39 a month

Hot offer - 5GB Mobile Broadband for only $39 a month
Still the best wireless internet offer, from Vodafone. Wishful thinking has it that there would be some similar offers in the new year.

TPG Internet - ADSL2+ Super Fast Broadband Service up to 24Mbps

TPG Internet - ADSL2+ Super Fast Broadband Service up to 24Mbps
TPG is a recommended internet provider. They have some nice plans with VoIP included. Need to investigate about the phone line, though. There were rumors that they will offer Naked DSL but can't find any yet.

Welcome to PennyTel

Welcome to PennyTel
- Currently my preferred VoIP provider. Can't authorize a credit card so I can't apply for a local Melbourne number yet. :S
Otherwise, great rates.

Laptop

Hm, the list HAS been updated. :) Although my previous Toshiba picks are still available on the web site, there's a better offer - this one. For $1200, this one includes webcam, 160GB hard drive, ATI X1200, AMD Turion 1.8, and 2GB of RAM. So, better than the one in the previous post. Actually, this is the model with more RAM, only.
The next in Toshiba line is $1288 model with 250GB hard drive. :S Why so much? Shouldn't 720KB be enough for everybody? :)
Next model yet is $1399, 3GB RAM, 250GB hard disk. All with AMD.

Laptops

There's another nice Toshiba on offer. This one has an integrated webcam but only 1GB RAM. Additional RAM is definitely required but everything else seems ok. With 4GB max. there should be plenty of space.
Hopefully prices change again for the better after the holidays.
