Telecom broadband has an unlimited plan, but it'll cost a lot. internet here is like a golden nugget.

check out other providers for cheaper deals. i got xnet's homeline and broadband for around $60/mo + usage. I spend around $75/mo and I am a heavy user.

If you still don't have skilled work to get you PR, then broadband will just be an unnecessary expense for you right now. That $50.00 you will spend for broadband should be spent on other expenses while you are on a WTR.

Remember that even part-time jobs that have eased past migrant's money issues have become scarce right now and unless you're flush with cash, I suggest you get the cheapest alternative - yes, even dial up connection should do - for now.

Try to get a cheaper alternative in the meantime - you don't need a huge bandwith to surf for jobs, right?

Try Woosh wireless broadband, $40/month pero kelangan me signal ng services nila, atsaka bibili ka pa ng antenna worth $99. If not, mag Kiwi online ka na lang, dial-up for $10 a month.
