MyRepublic fibre - Part 4

[wiccawizzards]

Hmm other than getting about 50% subscribed speeds to Equinix peers during peak hour, the line itself is generally very usable for the price, and the mobile data bundle is nice to have.

Also, at least they have an established and competent customer service team... ahem

Technical support, I agree. Customer Service, it is a zero for me with M1 unfortunately...

And plus, I am not here for a discussion about M1

(I Don't want infraction)

Teleport is not working for me at all. It does not work with my Samsung Smart TV :/
so I got UnoTelly instead :/ but oh well

I do enjoy my MR connection but it's really frustrating when issues occur - you can't get answers (but I must say the Twitter team is trying their best)

random question - how are you guys managing your ethernet cables at your router (AC68U) - all my 4 ports are used up...

Whaaaaat? How did you use all four ports? Every PC at home all wired ah.

Why not M1 Broadband? I am using their 1Gbps fibre as a backup/load balance line (primary is VQ) and it is very good value for money.

Or rather I don't see any benefit for going for MR over M1 other than Teleport, though it seems they may have bitten off more than they could chew (bandwidth wise) by making it free for everybody.

So in general, their static IP works well and the internet do not have much issues? Torrent works well at all times of the day with speeds flying if there are good seeders? No throttling?

I attached a netgear smart switch. quite good. get from amazon cheaper too. The adapter is universal voltage.

what's the Dark Side? haha I'm on HubClub anyway.

but sigh I really like MR promo pricing for the 1Gbps... oh well

You can google to find out what is the "Dark" side.

I'm in the midst of signing up with MR for my new home BB.
However, I can't manage to get hold of anyone from MR after trying to call in for 3 consecutive days.

Well, this bad experience makes me ponder again whether to trust MR services. In the event of any problem, do I have to call and call for 3 days and yet nobody attends to me to resolve my problem.

What is your Internet usage?

Apart from the infamous MR customer service, another point to note is the inconsistent billing date.

haha router is in my room, PC, PS3 and PSTV so 3 out of 4 already used.

the 4th I'm gonna connect to a 8port switch for my Smart TV, PS4, Amazon FireTV and maybe WiiU (via USB adapter)

I prefer to use wired for my fixed devices. my mobile/handhelds/laptop can use WiFi.

I guess myrepublic is good. But j called it like the whole week from 10am - 4pm and waited for 20minutes just to find out more about their services and what they offer.

My goodness, what are they doing? No one pick up my call, even i when online for a live chat... after few minutes got some on live. Spoke to him 1 question.. KAN gg!!

Please call in to our technical support and happily paste the number.

Nebih cibei!!!!! Who the fk say they are good? Waste of time.

Imagine trying to call for support, kan sure die. 1year later they come or after contract over.

MR is bullsht.

I think between the various sub-$50 offerings, the congestion levels (especially at night) remain similar, just that at least M1 has some buffer of CSOs and existing international bandwidth options that MR seems to lack.

gah netgear is a really good brand - should have gone for this instead :/

EDIT: where are you sourcing all your Cat6 cables though? using a switch means I need a bunch of them

That is true.... Tied between M1 1gbps or VQ 600mbps ... Left 1 more mth to decide..

Did anyone's internet in the west go down?

Was wondering the same myself, a friend and I are having an issue where half of the Internet is down except certain sites such as Facebook. No one complained since 1130 though, which is when it started.

 

[Vulpix]

All my network stuff not working at all damnit.

 

[WindJammer]

Punggol down too.
