    Thumbs up Hello from South Africa

    Hi all,

    I am moving to Australia (Melbourne) in January 2018. Googled "Australian Tech Forum" and this site popped up first so I guess this is the place to go regarding tech stuff.

    Is this the best place to find out about ISP's, deals, software and etc... in Australia?

    Kindest Regards

    There will be no shortage of help here with all things technical, and otherwise. What prompted the move to Australia?
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    Welcome mate, ask any of your tech questions in the appropriate forum and we will do our best to help you out or point you to the correct place you need to be.

    I presume ISP's will be on your list, Australia is currently undergoing a massive change in internet called the NBN which a country wide broadband rollout. Its about 50% complete, so if you know where you are moving to (address) it might be worth checking on the NBN site to see whats happening there.

    Thank you for the welcoming replies!

    I was in Melbourne and Syndey a few weeks ago for business as our client was launching an app.

    I had a blast in Australia. What amazed me the most is the community and people working together. Most people I met were also very friendly. I won't go into all the issues we have here in SA but I felt that there are a lot of opportunities in Australia, especially in the digital industry, specifically apps and being a software developer.

    Heard a lot about NBN while I was there. Will start asking in the appropriate forum once everything is in place. Sorting out all visa related things....

    I have been reading about them, I was pretty disgusted.
