Speaking of internet connections, I just believe how easy it is here in HK. I went into a Vodafone store, bought a wireless router for HK$380 (approx AU$50) which includes the plan, went home and in 15mins I had wireless connection which is just a fraction slower than my Optus one back in AU. HK$99 (approx AU$12.90) per month, unlimited bandwidth. Internet in AU used to cost me 5 times as much.
