Oz move - best banks/cell phone provider/anything else?
-
<p>If you are in the city vodafone and virgin and overall cheaper for the phone and plan deal (GF just did a comparision between virgin optus telstra and vodafone. She was with virgin and stayed with them as wasn't any real difference between voda and virgin. Telstra is more expensive and had 2 big outages this year which gave lots of people the shits. Think virgin has a roll over of data for anything not used which is pretty sweet. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Banks from a handiness of online banking and app I have a westpac and ANZ account and westpac gives me the shits. ANZ is no real issue for me. I wouldn't base it off the best mortgage rates as that doesn't mean the best mortgage and you are better to hunt a broker so yeah. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also just a FYI all the super rugby teams here suck....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Long may it continue. </p> -
All the big 4 banks are much of a muchness, basically shit. Just moved from Telstra to Optus. Telstra was killing it on roaming charges, but only an issue if you are traveling overseas. <br><br>
From a career perspective, IT jobs tend to pay more in Sydney, but it's more expensive to live here. What is the career change? -
Cheers guys much appreciated, will try and sort an account this week.<br><br>
@dK Looking to move from IT support to IT asset/software licence management. Have had some experience touching on it in previous support roles and got a certification in software asset management recently. May need to get a foot in the door in a support role first but we'll see how we go. -
<p>As much as I don't like Telstra, when you want your phone to work somewhere, their's is the network that will have coverage.</p>

Except when someone switches off the network -
<p>Yes there is that, but I wasn't affected, so it didn't happen.</p>

I've got accounts with CBA/ANZ/NAB, CBA is the better of that lot imo. Great online service and iphone app is excellent.<br><br>I use TPG who operates over the Vodafone network, cant complain for the price ($45 for 6Gb, unlimited Aus calls).<br>Qantas Freq Flyers is getting into mobile over the Vodafone network too, 8Gb per month at $45 so considering a switch myself...
