MyRepublic fibre - Part 4

[VarunSG]

Just to add on what Lehnsherr said, the current scarcity of IPV4 is a known issue and an urgent one, which is why a lot of major players are already moving to IPV6.

To put things in perspective, if we were to just run a whois and compare the range owned by Starhub (203.116.0.0/15, 203.118.0.0/18 which translate to 147,456 ip) and the range owned by MR (which is a few /24, probably less than a thousand addresses), it is easy to understand why Starhub has the luxury to give all their subscriber a public IP. Starhub public address pool is easily 100 fold more.

And I really do not think it is the case of MR short-changing the customer since it is highly possible that there is really no decent range of public IP belonging to the APAC region to purchase anymore or at a reasonable price.

I paid $50 for a MR public IP and i paid it happily.

I paid my $50 happily too. My point is the addresses are not exhausted; you've put it correctly: they're scarce, and therefore expensive. MR is not unique in not offering public IPV4 addresses - plenty of ISPs around the world do this. Carrier-grade NAT is well established. However, in the Singapore context, they're perhaps the only consumer ISP to not offer public IPV4 addresses by default.

Home Voice Down AGAIN!!!

My Home voice up lorry again the 2nd time even after the techinician came down on 29/12/13 to replace the ATA!

This time round i can receive but can't call out even after power off the device.

Call MR today the CSO mentioned that someone will get back to me by today...hope don't have to wait for days as i seen some of the guys faced here.

We consumer paid a fee to service provider and are tie to a 2 years contract but if the provider can't even provide the basic service as stated can we terminate the service w/o penalty...?
Sad but truth a lot of us are trap in this situation.

Hope MR up their standard.

Apology well accepted.


Fair explanation, I just wished it didn't turn out this way - really wasn't the best experience for a new subscriber. I hope the process can be more refined in the future.


Better pray I don't rack up too high phone bill for LTE

For that. IDA will need to step In

I am a happy customer of MR too, but sometimes I wonder if I should get a static IP. Does it offer any improvement to connectivity other than able to do remote connection and some game hosting?
I am just a casual online gamer, with some light bt usage. I do not need remote access since i always switch off my PC when I go out. But I am not sure if certain websites need a static ip to access properly, because some websites which i went to once in a while do act cranky whenever I access them.

Speaking of which, How can I know if my request for re-routing my connection to war thunder game server is done?

Just subscribe to MR today on Pure HD plan @150 mbps

Direct connection to supplied Asus router give dl speed of 120+ mbps which is acceptable.

My config as follow (all wired connections):

Living Room - ONT--> Router-->Switch--->Wall Lan-point------> Bedroom wall-Lan point--->Wireless Router---->PC

When I run speedtest on my Bedroom PC, the dl speed was about 45mbps.
Is there any speed degradation, when using additional routers in Bedrooms?

All my bedrooms have dedicated wireless routers with unique SSIDs in order to have decent signal strength

 

[ComPuiTer]

N56U, the FOC one..ok leh

didnt realise got usb port..can put my printer at the router liao!

 

[summersky1986]

If your speedtest is to their local recommended speedtest server (BBQ running on Amazon in Singapore), then 120+ should not be acceptable. If it's 120+ (by which I assume you mean < 130) occasionally, that's okay, but if it's consistently below 130, I think there's something wrong somewhere and you have a justifiable reason to call Support.

When I run speedtest on my Bedroom PC, the dl speed was about 45mbps.

There shouldn't be. I have a similar setup - switches, routers, etc, and can consistently get 150 in every room. I'm assuming here that the speedtest in your bedroom PC was done using a wired connection and not wifi (this is not to say wifi can't comfortably exceed 150 - just that there are too many variables with wifi). Check that your network cables (inter-room) are Cat 5E or Cat 6, check that the network cable you've connected to your PC (in the bedroom) is Cat 5E or Cat 6, and check the speed of the NIC in your PC (should be gigabit, not 10/100).

Ya but dropped till 25 is damn jialek..

25 is damn chui even for N15U...should be some distance away then kena this kind of speed.

Homeplug is a hit and miss depending on your electrical wiring.

I think wired>solid wireless>homeplug. He should have upgraded to N56U if wanna run mainly on wireless

I am one wall behind the router. The router is at one end of the living room where the tv is and my wireless adapter is also at one end of my bedroom

I'm no expert but 25mbps for a 100mbps plan is definitely unacceptable to me

Really should have upgraded ur router man.. so far sia the distance.. consider home plug.. tia gong Aztec one cheap and good
