What is wrong with MR seriously?? I received sms telling me that MR is unable to deduct the payment from my card about a month ago. I called the back and checked however, the bank told me there is nothing wrong with my account. After which the CSO found out that it was due to the card expiry date on my card. She then updated it and the payment went smoothly after that.

I went into my MR account to check my bill a week later and I found out MR charged me penalty fee of $10. The CSO told me my bill payment was late for 3 weeks so I was charged with the penalty fee of $10.

I also encountered similar experience recently. Didn't received any email from MR after July and suddenly received on Oct 1 - Payment Failed Reminder 2 which said I will be charged $10 administrative fee for the reminder. I did not even received the 1st reminder.

The failed payment was also due to the change on my card expiry date.

Just a quick qn... when is MR going to implement number porting for the phone line? My contract just ended and I cant wait to jump ship but number port is a must have.

Number porting is not in place yet.
You can most likely retain your digital line with your current provider
Plus sign up with MR

Unfortunately, due to bad business policy by Big 3 aka Singtel, Starhub and M1, they are unwilling to co-operate with this issue and hence small ISP players like MyRepublic or ViewQwest wished to number port also cannot.

But within the smaller ISP, also no number port. Haha.

Your best bet is to jump to MR, and at the same time subscribe to Starhub or Singtel's Digital Voice depending on what home line you are using now.

For Starhub, it is $10.49 per month

For Singtel, it is $9.81 per month


Of course, if you realize and disgusted by such unfair practice, you can always jump ship and ditch the phone line. However, I confess that it must be an hassle to update everybody on your new home line (MR provides home line with 3XXX XXXX format as it is a new standard of Internet Telephony aka Digital Voice that do appear on 6XXX XXXX as well).

There are some serious problems with their billing system. I just hope that the problem can be settle asap.

Hi Im quite sold on the MR offering but have one question which I cannot find any answer to.

I will be using Apple TV with MR to get onto netflix and hulu for films and tv shows.

But where can I hope to watch news channels like can, bbd, al jazeera etc?

Could you elaborate? I'm talking about watching a constant stream of news programming such as cnn/bbc/fox/cbs/nbc etc on television....just like I would with cable companies. Is that possible?

Yea, I'm able to access all the sites you just listed in there using my MR line. Something called Teleport I think. Can check it out on their website.

 

[Fiddler]

Thanks guys.

Another question to help me understand Teleport better.

Does teleport function more like a VPN or is it just a dns setting that works only for netflix, hulu and the other names on the list provided on the myrepublic website?

Will teleport make me have a US Ip address everywhere I visit on the net....even hardware zone?

Hi Fiddler,

Teleport is only available for select sites at the moment (as you said, like a DNS setting, your DNS needs to be set to our servers to access the content). Elsewhere on the internet, you'll retain your local IP

Hi there,

We have recently sent out the compenstation emails for those who have been affected by the fire at the Bukit Panjang exchange. Do drop our hotline a call if you have not received said compensation email yet

Pls PM me if that is more appropriate. Cheers.

Will do. Sorry if my questions bug you...I'm quite new to this...Im sure I will learn fast, thanks to the excellent advice on this thread.

BTW, I evaluated apple tv vs Roku 3 for my needs and find the Roku will be just what I need.

So forgive the newbie again if I ask: are many of you using Roku 3 with MR and getting good results?

(I have searched and seen a few replies but some were critical, that's why I ask again.)
