My MR is down since 1645. East. No joy after power cycled ONT and home network.

Anyone else face MR Fibre problems now?

Update: My MyR Fibre recovered at 1940.

I am currently Starhub user thinking of signing up with MyRepublic Gamer plan. Is it really worth it??? I saw another post showing network latency is pretty good on gamer plan

That's depend what latency you are looking for. It has more direct connectivity to China which I think is the primary reason for the higher cost. If you looking for direct routing to EU or NA, for gaming purpose. Gamer plan does not have much direct routing despite the higher cost. Heck, Starhub oversea POPs pretty much non-existence. You did have to ask current subscribers to ping the game servers of your interests to have better idea.

Personally, I think it would be easier to find VPN or VPS with direct routing.

I was previously on 1 Gbps plan. Contract ended and I tried to recontract to the No frills 3 Gbps plan and selected the "I do not need voice plan ..". But at the review and confirmation page, I still see a 29.90 one-time installation setup for home voice subscription. Is this something that cannot be avoided?

Nope, MR doesn't waive such charges, tried seeking for waiver previously but to no avail.

Thanks. Then I will just recontract.

Thanks. Then I will just recontract.

I manage to find a better deal. There is a 38.99 per month but free 2 months and has no onetime installation fee. Compared to the no-frill 37.99 per month, this is much better.

Direct mailer or?

how is MR when it comes to just watching some simple stuff like bilibili video/streams? I'm looking to switch to MR in about 2 months

It's not. I just log in and go to recontract and there are many different variants of the 3gbps plan with different bundle addon e.g. free router or TV or ip camera, etc. the plan I choose happens to be with free router although i don't need it.

 

[sumako]

just recontract with the new promo.

Is MR down?

Hi MR Bros,

Just transited out of the legacy pure 200mbps for $27.99 to a select customers only offer for the ultra 3 gbps no frills for $25.99.

Problem is my speedtest results still show 150mbps for both upload and download after recontract and power cycle the Nokia XS-140A ont which they installed after the plan upgrade. It's even worse compared to when I didn't upgrade, when I got 220mbps symmetric.

Whilst I am still on cat 5e with a gigabit LAN port, I am not getting anywhere close to 1gbps even. Obviously I am not getting beyond 1 gbps as I haven't gotten the hardware to take the speed of 3gbps. Just got a mikrotik CSS610 switch but the parts for the 10g network card haven't arrived.

I also did a file transfer via iscsi from another computer connected to my primary fibre network (Singtel unlimited fibre 1gbps) and the dl speed tops out at 20MB/s even tho that network is fully gigabit. However, when I do iSCSI over lan (without routing across fibre networks), my transfer speed goes up to 95MB/s...

Shouldn't I be at least getting close to 1gbps on speed tests or at least the iscsi file transfer?

Anyone also facing the same problem? Or is this the MR side struggling to serve the consumer fibre demand?

raise a ticket with tech support?

raise a ticket with tech support?

i raised and called their hotline alr, but seems no reply yet

also i realised the download/upload ping surges to thousands of ms (2000ms and above) during speedtests so i really don't think this is normal at all.
