Thanks, westminster I will look into that New TPG he got specifically for me should be a normal ADSL connection. I think I understood the problem. The house never had conventional Internet connection because it doesn't have a telephone line and the landlord might just wanted me to use...

The landlord asked me what type of connection I had at my previous place - I said Unlimited. He offered to match that. The contract with TPG was also chosen to be Unlimited. The problem came up when TPG stated that they keep 240 installation fee + 50% for every unused month of 6 months contract...

Thanks a lot for your responses, guys I will contact Consumer Affairs tomorrow for advice. I run YouTube channel. Uploading videos takes a lot of bandwidth.

Thanks for that. The question is - will he be able to pursue me legally for honoring Residential Tenancy Agreement which includes 6 months rent? and what happens to the Bond money?

He laughed at me when I offered that.

That's what I'm thinking. At the moment, I'm the one at a loss at someone else's fault. On top of that the landlord expects me to cover his 'Try' to provide me with Internet connection which was part of the agreement anyway. And find him a new tenant as if I'm the one who expressed the desire to...

1. It says "... gas, electricity, water with Internet" in writing in Residential Tenancy Agreement. I couldn't connect to WiFi next door because the signal doesn't come through a thick wall. The landlord thought I would be able to. 2. TPG technician discovered that there's no Telephone line...

I've chosen to trust people to deliver their promises which was a mistake on my part. Now I ask for opinions on how to take it from there?

After a lot of argument he bought me 5Gb of Optus 3g at a cost of $50 last Friday. I need this much each day so it's not exactly a solution.

Moved into a new property 3 weeks ago. Internet connection was part of the agreement and mentioned in the contract. Upon signage of the contract it turned out that I can't have access to WiFi the landlord initially thought I would. The landlord offers to set up TPG connection asking me to...

It does. In 2010 as an International student you could get Permanent Residency straight out of Uni or come as a overseas Skilled worker after meeting set requirements. In 2011 that's not the case anymore. There's no Permanent Residency after University - only Temporary visa and you now have to...

Is it the train line that runs through Highett station? I lived one year in Hawthorn near Auburn station and it was terrible. Mornings and afternoons you get trains every 10-15 minutes. The worst was the metal bridge near the house. The noise was unbearable. I could break the lease but than I...

Thanks for your inputs, especially about mezz debt. Turns out some banks in my own country (Russia) can give better interest rates on larger sums. The problem with Russian banks is that the government only insures $21000 per person per bank. china, I live in the suburbs, 30 mins from CBD.
