Catered residential colleges and internet (1 Viewer)

[Question2]

Do they all require you to buy data from the university at insane rates, or is it included in your accomodation fee?

 

[Riachain]

The first option (buy data from the university at insane rates). I don't think you're allowed to have your own ADSL, so you either make do with UNSW's internet or you get wireless internet. I live in Unilodge, which is uncatered, but I use wireless internet (vividwireless, unlimited plan, only unlimited wireless plan I found) since I'll end up spending more using UNSW's internet. (I use the internet... a lot.)

Nah its not 'too' bad anymore considering there's no contracts or anything and I'd rather pay more for 100mbps vs dodgy wireless.. It's $100/100gb now, the prices on the website are like 5 years outdated or something..

$100/100GB when my wireless Internet is $79/month for unlimited data. |D

Haha yeah but once you use FTTH equivalent you will never be able to tolerate anything else.. 1 second buffering for 1080p on youtube is simply not acceptable, I don't even remember the last time I had to wait for a page to load lol . Given I use about 30gb/month it works out around $50 and without a contract probably makes it one of the best lowish data plans Aus wide, I would obviously prefer it cheaper too maybe $50/100gb would be fair but hey better then $315/50gb like advertised on the Village website right !

Definitely better, haha.

Though I use more GB than you each month, so unlimited plans is really the only "cheapest" option for me. (Without limiting Internet use.)
