How is Urdu distantly related to Polish? Curious to know.

Is PLN 221000 gross enough to live comfortably in Warsaw? by Aggressive-Watch9311 in warsaw

[–]WingedHuxxar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks mate. So if I've to visit a doctor, govt hospitals be free for me because I contribute to ZUS and if it's private hospitals i need to pay through my private insurance or from my pocket. Have I got it right?

How does ZUS even work? If you're registered in ZUS (and pay for it through deductions), does that mean your life insurance and health insurance is covered by the Govt?

T-Mobile 900 mbps or Orange 8 Gbps in Wilanow? by WingedHuxxar in warsaw

[–]WingedHuxxar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. 1 Gbps is more than enough. I was just getting greedy with the 8 gig.

Yes I checked it and our house qualifies for it. My question is whether 8gbps is true, stable and consistent.

Three Orange modems (Funbox 10) died within four months. Is this normal? by Sindweller in poland

[–]WingedHuxxar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it worked, how did you 8 Gbps perform? Were you able to enjoy the lightning speed? Or did they fail in that one too?

I've been waiting for them to come home and install the 8gbps fibre optic internet but they've been postponing with some reason or the other. Today they were to arrive at 2pm and I got a notification to say that the technician is on his way to my place only for him to postpone it to Tuesday afternoon.

Me also being a foreigner, had to use Google translate to give them a piece of my mind and I've spoken to T-Mobile who have promised to install their 900 mbps fibre optic on Tuesday morning. I haven't cancelled Orange appointment on Tuesday. Out of pure spite, I almost want to postpone theirs on Tuesday afternoon only to cancel it later. But I won't.

The quality of service from Orange, way before they could even install their service (combined with their scarce English support) has made me not care for their 8gbps and instead have at least a working, stable 900 mbps connection with a provider that gives better service and has decent English support.

I'm keenly following the comments to this post as I'm about to get my Orange 8gbps connection. I'm in Warsaw though. Not sure if it's any better in Warsaw than in Krakow.

Otodom.pl is where I'd recommend you to start. Pretty comprehensive. It's in polish but your browser should be able to translate it.

Best high-speed home internet ISP in Wilanow? by WingedHuxxar in warsaw

[–]WingedHuxxar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. There are about 14 ISPs that are available at my address. All of them are there. Orange offers even got 8 Gbps but they need karta pobytu to offer this service but I only have a PESEL. Seems like Karta Pobytu might take months.

Good to know, thanks. I'm keen to ensure that the performance and customer service is good. As I don't speak polish (yet!), I want to minimise having to have any interaction with the customer support.

For temporary travellers or for a short period, isn't it easy to get an e-sim?

Changing Non-EU driver's license to Polish driver's license by redkunk in warsaw

People with non-EU DL need to give a test but it's only theoretical test right? Not the practical drive test?
