My little 2 bedroom pad down in Kogarah (south of Sydney, 20-30 min trip by train to CBD, 20 min by car and 5-10 min walk from shops, buses and trains) is losing a housemate in the next month.

So I need to find a replacement. Place is clean, everything works, I've got a dryer and washing machine, fridge, there's a dishwasher, plenty of room - just needs someone to fill it!

Rent's 200/pw, internet costs 40/PER MONTH - if you know someone that's looking for a place to stay, let me know!

So damn tempting

This is off-topic, but wow your Internet costs 160$ a month?? I'm only paying about 80-90$ for Singapore internet and it's inclusive of cable TV. And from what I hear the aus internet isn't v good either?

P.S. sorry if this derails the thread abit

I assume that is a typo and should be $40 per month. Otherwise it better be damn amazing internet...

Pretty big typo.

Considering you'd also reasonably be expecting to go halves. Then again I don't mean to derail over probably a typo

(don't know how you got 160 a month -,-)

coz $40x4weeks is 160$ a month?

**|Erasmus|** · Mon, 16th-Jan-2012, 3:20 PM

that would be about $320 a month, dippa. split between two, obviously...

so you do mean internet is $60 a month. I've never heard of a phone line costing $20 per week.

Eldrid · Mon, 16th-Jan-2012, 3:21 PM

O.o

$40x4 weeks per month x2 people paying it = $320 per month. Im sure you've worked this out incorrectly...

Line rental is $30 p/m (just line rental), normal internet should be $50-$90 per month, meaning their fair share would be $25-$45 p/m, meaning between $6 - $11 per week.

edit: 320, not 360. herp.

Don't mean to harp on it but you sure you don't mean per month instead of per week your quoting? (you said you don't know how he got 160).

If it really means 60 per week and 20 per week for phone rental, it would come out to 80 per week combined, multiplied by about 4 weeks in a month making it 320 per month (or 160 each)

On the other hand if you had 20 line rental and 60 per month net it would make it 80 combined per month, about 40 per month each, or about 10/pw, which would make a lot more sense.

Otherwise - you're paying an insane rate for your internet and line rental.

edit wow 50 people post while I'm typing on my phone, really didn't mean to sound as harping as it does now lol.
