MyRepublic Big Launch

From what MR support staff told me they are using private proxy for dynamic ip. Hence got problems with access to china websites.

Which BTW why MR do not use public proxy for easier access to china websites?

Maybe because MR is the only ISP that doesn't give their users a true PUBLIC dynamic IP address.

Theirs is a NAT network, using only private ip addresses which have a number of limitations that other ISP recognized and avoids.

Or maybe their staff are using the terms 'proxy' and 'NAT' interchangeably. Anyhow they've confirmed its their NAT/Proxy limitation.

So the new ONT is an all in box that does not require a separate adaptor for home voice?

ya, just plug in your tel phone into the ONT would do.

I did not opt for home voice so this may explain the difference in the model given.

BTW, can any MR staff help to answer the following:
1. How do I tell if I am on static IP or not?
2. Must I register my Asus router online?

Thanks.

yes, I think so too.

MR, the field engineer will record down the MAC address of the new Asus router during installation to configure for static ip right? No need for user to call and inform MR again, correct?
I'm an existing static ip user

No need to subject your HDD to a bottleneck test. If you want a real-world speed test without your mechanical disk/ssd as bottlenecks, do the following.

Set-up a RAMDisk (AMD Radeon(TM) Memory) and setup several torrents for large files (Alternative downloads | Ubuntu), try to download all versions in that page simultaneously (save the files into the RAMDisk) to ensure you are maxing out your bandwidth capacity.

Make sure you disable disk caching if you are using utorrent (Utorrent Disk Cache settings?). It will force the program to write to the RAMDisk without caching through your mechanical drive/SSD.

the free version of RAMdisk only allows 4GB of memory allocation... very hard to test. The max i could download is two 2GB file at a time.

Same date and timing as you. Had received sms confirmation with regards to Friday appt. Guess prior to that, make a call either tomorrow or Friday morning to confirm.

Maybe try this, they have 30-day trials (Primo Ramdisk (VSuite Ramdisk II) - Powerful RAM Disk Emulator for Windows).

This one is free and no limit, been great using it for months.

1. You can check through your ASUS router webpage under WAN if I never remember wrongly.

 

[elimmel]

Login to MR homepage to see under static ip service. If have, your ip and Mac details will be there.

I have make multiple call ( on different working hour timing ) but nobody pick up. Either no one work in the office or the rep just ignore call.

The installation date is day after tomorrow and I have yet to receive any confirmation SMS or email.
Anyone know what is the number to call? since the number I have does not connect to anyone.

Thanks in advance.

After testing 2 days with 1Gbps downloading.. it is nothing short of awesome.. I assigned 8gb as ramdisk and downloading 8 files at a go with IDM I can see my speed fluctuate between 300-500MB/s..

Downloading four 1gb files only takes less than 3 mins..

However, when streaming is concerned esp china sources.. LeTV/Leshi/sohu etc.. totally CMI when my friend's MR 100Mbps connection is a lot more stable..

And to make things worse, I can't connect to any VPN server when it was working fine with my previous ADSL connection.

Movie using Funshion app on iPad is watchable for me but the web page is near impossible even to load on PC browser, strange...

hi, just curious. for those who had their 1Gbps installation, how long was the internet connection down for during the takeover? thks in advance!

I'm in exactly the same position. Received call from MR some time back confirming 1gbps installation this Friday (28Mar14). However, haven't received any email or SMS confirmation since then.

1.Tried calling the hotline but no one ever picks up.
2.Tried using online chat, but all operators offline.
3.Tried sending PM to Nivelek1985, but no reply thus far.

Can be really exasperating. Should I apply for leave or not?
