i am still considering weather to switch over to MyRepublic...
Currently using M1 (Fibre 100 + Home fixed line)
Over the next 24 mths...
Continue with M1 = $991 (39x24 +55 install fee)
Switch to MR + starhub DVoice (port from M1) = over $1.35K (after all terminate & install fees)
(must maintain home number)
heard good feedback from MR... went to AMK hub check out.
still considering to change or not. "fan"
1) M1 do charge Voice termination fee. But probably only applies when the number is ported to Singtel / Starhub
2) MR or other non big 3 ISP cannot port numbers (from them aka the Big Bully 3)
3) If you want good torrent experience 24/7 excluding maintenance time (Sama sama for all ISP during late nights like once or twice per month), go MR than M1 for like $400? (Based on your $991 VS $1.35K)
4) If you do not want to be bullied by the sama sama source, go MR as it has the least start up cost to do the objective. (Yes, MyRepublic has to use OpenNet infra which is still paying Stinktel indirectly at a minimal cost. M1 is not bad but still not much better than MR)
5) If you want to see more innovative ideas on Fiber network competition, go MR as M1 copied their concept of Gamer plan.
6) If you are using white ONT, then switching to MR who is
also using white ONT which means you will have seamless jump ship experience (Using the same infra of last mile connection) VS upgrading to present M1's 200Mbps under black ONT. This is because M1 has to get OpenNet to do Port 2 provision which OpenNet like to play tai chi more and M1 seemed inefficient in dealing such matters.
