Don't know why 1 cents. Anything from the app, will be reflected separately from the bill hence that is why you don't see it in the bundled talktime.

The picture you post above to 5cents for calls to Singapore from overseas

I can't even finish the bundled talktime they given me. Yes I'm still on Uno 8 plan with 1000mins 1000sms; starhub network though

this is my point. technically they should not be able to differentiate whether you are making calls from local or overseas. In order to use the myrepublic talk app, one just needs to have a valid Internet connection. I dun see a reason that they can differentiate that you are in lion city or overseas. so technically no matter where is ur physical location, all calls made from the app to lion city should be treated the same.

One may say they can track based on IP address, however, I dun think they will go to the extend.

2 cents per min? however, it did not tally with the bill le. It was charged 2 mins for 2 cents.

wow. The port-in was taken effect at 11pm. So zhun one. TPG line has no line now.

Bye bye to my TPG. However, my MyRepublic lite seems like not yet have number changed.

Might be calculation error or maybe the cost reduced the cost again. 1 cent difference, not much difference.

The great news is its only 2 cents now. 5 mins only 10Cents!

Indeed. That’s why the lite plan is more than enough for most people. Even without 1000 minutes like UNO 8, extra talktime beyond the 300 mins bundled is still very cheap.

 

[hereiam7788]

speed for download at managed speed on myrepublic lite plan.

It has only 36% of the managed speed for TPG trial plan.

I am not sure why,

TPG sim can't load the following:
PLUS500 (website /app)
Carousell (App) - At Home, I can't access but while I am out It works fine.
and many more app is not working.

Unless you change the DNS. 4G DNS cannot be configured on a phone.

I ported my parent's line too, 11 to 12am it was ported over. By 12 am, the number was fully ported over.

yeah. 300mins is more than enough for average consumers. I ported my parents line to giga initially because of the $10/mth plan (back then MR haven't release the Lite Plan), they only offer 100mins, which might not be enough for them. A week after signing up, MyRepublic released new Lite Plan, then I Sian, initiated port again to MyRepublic.

So the process from M1>Giga>MyRepublic took 30days. Was on giga for less than 30 days.

actually you can if you are using android, i changed mine to cloudflare 1.1.1.1.
Check with 1.1.1.1 website and verified i'm using 1.1.1.1 server while on 4G. You using android 10 phone?

I am using the SIM card on mifi device. I changed to google DNS but actually not much difference in terms of performance.

My number on MyRepublic still hasn’t reflected the TPG number as of 12am now.

Have a good night sleep now. Hopefully, when you wake up, no more tuapekgong, become MR

Reflected the TPG number on my MR now. Haha.

Nice. Enjoy the good tpg number on Mr now. After 30 may, tpg will be faster as more people drop out of tpg

Woman Catches Phishing Call from the Bank

Phishing call,

While I was using MyRepublic on throttled speeds, here is what I realized:

Youtube will always load at around 350 to max 500 kbps. But I realize almost always 390-400 kbps.

Videos on Instagram usually loads on 400-600 kbps.

Tiktok will actually load at 700kbps-1.4Mbps (but of course still lag given that Tiktok video size are like somehow very big). But somehow there were instances like 2-3 seconds the video loaded up to 24Mbps (yes using throttled speed).

Do they actually throttle the speed based on the apps? It seems like it to me.

yup, i noticed sometimes the speed can surge and downwards again. Videos or insta stories took quite a while to load.

24mbps is super fast on throttle speed. Very surprised it can go up to so high
youtube around 500kbps (360p) still useable.

Nice. Enjoy the good tpg number on Mr now. After 30 may, tpg will be faster as more people drop out of tpg

yeah. both TPG and MR have good numbers i would say.
Circles.Life or Zero1 their free numbers are totally.....

to be fair, all the while i found the TPG speed and 4G signal strengh are very good, even better than circles life or myrepublic that is on M1. Their only issue is no coverage under the tunnels.

with the 2G + 1Mbps unlimited of the daily quota and speed, 1 day I can easily use 10GB at least from the TPG trial. One month probably I have used 300GB++ on it. This is also the reason why i dun find the 50GB/$10 plan attractive to sign up.

If they remain the same service model as the trial for their actual plan now, take my $$$ which I do not need to even go for MR lite.

I think this mostly depends on the type of traffic shapping software/hardware the ISP is using. It is actually quite normal to see a surge and slowly throttling down later as it will take time for the software/hardware to analyse the packets and enforce the policies subsequently. Most of the traffic shaping software/hardware can shape traffic at network layer or application layer.

From my experience, i think they dun really throttle the speed by apps though. it seems to be quite consistent speed I am getting in long run for youtube, instagram apps etc. if ignoring the surge during the short moment at the start.

Actually on and off Circles.Life has this kind of of unlimited for everything plan for CIS which lasts for 12 months at the price of $18. Quite attractive given that after the 100GB unlimited data, the speed is capped at 0.75Mbps which is about 2X faster than the MR lite managed speed. Cannot fight with TPG trial 1Mbps speed though which to me it is quite 'usable'.
