MyRepublic fibre - Part 4

[YouKilledKenny]

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

Depends on whether you need the hardcore features of a "pro" router, and also your networking devices, such as your computers, laptops, etc.

For example, the AC68U which I picked, could run the merlin firmware with the OpenVPN server feature. That was an important feature which I can't live without now.

However, if you have no need for any advanced networking features, and just need a typical WiFi router, then there's no need to buy such an expensive router (then the AC66U should suffice).

I normally stay on the line for at least 20 minutes before I get to talk to someone.

Yes I am facing the same issue.

MR charged my Cards 3 times for the month of October.

Been trying to reach their Customer Service for days, they asked me to log ticket in their zendesk system. I logged it on 29th October and till now no update.

Their service screw-ups.. I think many processes not streamline. The only update they give me is that they are checking with relevant departments.

Lucky you bro.. my experience is the other way round.

they charged my card 3 times for a single month of October.

their billing screw-up... now waiting for their customer service to reply. kind of tired to get their standard reply that they are checking with relevant department.

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

If yours is a credit card, remember to only pay for a single month, and then raise a dispute with the bank with regards to the other two months of charges.

Not sure why MR went from good to ... this.

i suspect its the management. from my understanding after reading most of the post, alot of staff has left and moved to other departments.

Other departments within MR? or other jobs/ISP?

 

[seowbin]

just kanna charge $118 ...

is it my contract over liao?

 

[ra[g]e]

I terminated last month. Their billing side say they will do a pro-rated refund of balance after billing the full month.

Still waiting for them and no sound... zzz...

 

[rustcify]

For multiple billing , is check from credit card statement or can check from the MR invoices? Cause I am not the one paying and better play safe & check
