MyRepublic fibre - Part 4

[Solkarnar]

Seems like there are so many unhappy customers.. is there anyone here who's actually satisfied with MR?

I'm a new home owner looking to get 1G internet. It's either this or M1

Truth be told, im sure there are a lot of satisfied users, it's just that they dont come here to complain if there is nothing wrong.

im on the old 150mbps gamer plan and my 2 years is up soon. im still thinking of whether to recontract or not, but im tending towads no.

 

[roborovsky]

Upgraded my 100 Mbps to 300 cos contract ended. Last few days the connection had been very unstable, just last night alone there were 3 occasions of down com. Had to on-off Ont & router. Watched movie half way, surfing half way suddenly no internet connection. Got so fed up just switched off totally for whole night. Problem is my VOIP will be switched off too. Really frustrating. I didn't had much problem with the 100Mbps. Now this 300Mbps is slower than my mobile 4G. Haizz...

If you do not really need the 1Gpbs Internet, you can consider the "dark" side.

If one of your considerations is customer service, then avoid MR for now.

I may have to stay with MR (my previous 100mbps contract already over for months) since i do need the 'no-cap' for p2p but find VQ abit too expensive for me

 

[marines07]

maybe can email their support over at the nz website

Hahaha I see what you did there.

In all seriousness, get a sense of how they are doing via one of the bigger NZ forums Forum: MyRepublic

NZ users should really see this thread when researching, really is gg.

Now I'm in a dilemma. I'm shifting to my new house early next year, and have two options:

1. Relocate my 1Gbps MR plan to my new place for S$160.50, and get my in-law (who doesn't require a very fast internet connection) to sign up for some cheap cable plan. Con: Potentially a huge banana skin, cause I'll never know if the new (old resale flat) house has sufficient fiber capacity, or whether MR will screw up the transfer (no Internet = no moving in).

2. Hand off my 1Gbps MR plan to my in-law, and sign up for ViewQwest's new attractive plans at SITEX 2014. Going by their reviews, I am almost assured that there will be zero "mis-communication" and prompt customer service. Con: 1Gbps still looks expensive at S$90.00.

In deep dilemma now, hmm.

Mus u really go for 1gbps for vq? 600mbps plan good enough le...

Very good point that I'm asking myself now

I consider myself a moderate/heavy user, and even during the day I VPN to home for most of my Internet usage.

I know 1Gbps might be an overkill so perhaps I'd be okay with VQ's 600mbps plan.

Now I'm hoping they can spring a huge surprise at SITEX to make me an irresistible offer.

Did you try a vpn? I don't think MR is going to do anything despite all your bitching

Another option is to terminate MR 1Gbps when the contract is up and get a cheaper plan (e.g. M1) for your in-laws if they are not heavy users and go for VQ 600Mbps on your new house.

im quite satisfied with MR. speed isnt always 1000gbps but its alright. 800+ 900+.. good enough for me. there was an issue for me whereby facebook full sized images were very slow to load but it seems alright nowadays. i dont use twitch. streaming pandora is always a breeze.

funny thing is, i started my installation and plan in august. they have been sending me my monthly invoices BUT my card has NEVER been charged. up til today, i have not paid a single cent. obviously i dont care if they dont charge me. it's not like im unwilling to pay. im just worried that they will suddenly terminate my line due to non-payment which totally isn't my fault if they dont wanna collect payment. advice on this? cheers bros

FYI. The speed will never be at 1000gbps (in case of typo) or 1Gbps in real life. The max one can achieve is around 950Mbps +/-.

1000Mbps bro. 1000Gbps is too power. LOL.

Anyway, best is you can drop an email to mybilling@myrepublic.com.sg to check if you have any balance need to pay. Don't mention that they never charge. If they say no, just keep that email lo.

Netflix no can do on Chrome. Back to white screen again. Firefox is alright though.

 

[YouKilledKenny]

May I kindly ask someone with a Netflix subscription whether you're able to stream at 3000kbps?

I noticed that recently my streams are all capped at 1750kbps. Even forcing the streaming rate manually (Shift + Ctrl + Alt + S), I only get 1750kbps as the highest option.

I hope this has nothing to do with MyRepublic rate-limiting Netflix.

Tried Chrome (doesn't work as of now, white screen and nothing else), Firefox (1750kbps max.) and Internet Explorer (1750kbps max.)

Edit: My bad, besides being unable to stream on Chrome (tested okay with another paid VPN service), it was the streams I chose that didn't have 3000kbps options.

I am able to stream The Walking Dead on 3000kbps just fine.

 

[Requeroth]

Should I opt for the AC87U from MyRepublic if I were to get the 1Gbps plan?
