Noboby can predict.
MyRepublic Fibre 1 Gb/s sucks because they have LINKS to Authority
CAT 5 e is all that is sufficient . And MR support is as good as useless .
They cant support themselves for that matter in the face of such evidence.
CAT6 wont make a difference when MY Republic is playing with the fact that once subscribed .. you are stuck .. following which they play the 60 % rule ... meaning bandwidth sub 60 % of the subscribers .. assuming all wont be on all the time ..or all wont be effectively downloading at a given moment .
Problem : when more than the 60 % are on line which is predictably every evening .. then the users get short changed .. worse than any other ISP now perhaps only 2nd to Starhub.. whom they lease their infrastucture.
My republic does not own or manage their own or control any much beyond a media make believe marketing campaign
Their support sucks .Hoodwinking is the mode of operation.
No one will need MR support which will come to "Zero" and a lot of wasted breath. All they provided was 2 months subscription off and a whole lot of gimmicks .
When Complined to IDA ,with all evidence of a daily slowdown IDA folks who handle these stuff are less than knowledgeable .. and that is the problem.
IDA does not even have a "expected standard" of local speed test .
The ideal test would be to compute by downloading a fixed size large file say 1 GB from a Local University . There are files maintained at NUS to do just that . All connection being local - it should tell the ISP's speed .. wired CAT5 e of course -
WELL , have to say MR is pissed and is trying to cause havoc for me . I am logging some of the stuff they do and will put up with them for the duration it is free .
However the best IDA has suggested since then is that they would help terminate the Contract with no penalty . That's all they can do .
Well I sure might take that offer . But want to ensure the move is effectively done after I have done my research with MR and learn everything there is to know about their tactics.
Is hardwarezone in any way particularly supportive of My republic ?
If so then that too has to be verified.
Just a hunch given there seem to be some level of support un-deserving support for My republic from Hardwarezone.
My republic is a lot of smoke and tricks ,, and little substance ,
Would advise anyone considering to stay away from MY republic .

No nody needs to stick to nonsense .. that will be sure way to encourage Nonsense as IDA now does for most part
It takes some effort to prove to IDA, insist and they will help get out of contract if you have logic in your argument and proof . That takes some effort .
NO BODY should put up with NONSENSE and a artificial make believe.
MYREPUBLIC really sucks and it will not be my ISP very soon and have been with them hardly 7 months ..but given what I have proven IDA has agreed to work out an exit with no penalty.
I will not trust a ISP that does not have control over its Hardware and a good part of its infrastucture. Worse still when they appear clue less .
If they admitted they know the problem and know what to do , I would have been patient .
Here they dont have a clue .... and fully at the mercy of who ever they have or have employed as " NON Technical" "Engineers" .

Any one who has bandwidth problem address it with IDA . IDA cant bite if you have logic and proof. Gather the proof .
Show to Myrepublic Media bliz and social advertisment will only get you started .. wont keep you in the clouds without substance and credibility.
Sometimes I wish IDA had folks who were a bit more intelligent on such matters .. and then had the BALLs and the bite .

I think TS is using CAT5e and CAT5e supports up to 1GBPS although CAT6 is recommended these days due to not much difference in terms of price.
Problem is IDA
A Regulatory Authority that does not have a good guideline that is current is the primary reason.
IDA is not stipulating a good expected standard and instead what they do is take generic guideline that is from the ADSL days ( copied from Hong Kong perhaps ) I see similarities .. Who copied who lets guess
WHEN MRP started off they desperately needed customers and had to win folks by pricing alone .. but eventually Allocation of bandwidth and subscriber use gap is so wide now they have problems . but they do nothing and IDA has no clue . Don't get the idea that folks in IDA are knowledgeable folks .Many are just Scholars and seat warmers .
I dare say it because I have seen what they are made of . You only now some one , a organization they way they deal with the "unwrttten ".
So our ISP if they are screwy and have become screwy is because a Regulatory Authority has made it possible .
My experience is substantial with dealing with the IDA folks on such matters.
Trust me when asked IDA for the guidelines that govern ISP ' with reference to how data seeds are measured and tabulated - this is best they could share with me ( ha ha ) they are long outdated and seems to have ben from the ADSL days which is now like a dinosaur ( prehistoric to Singapore)
http://www.ida.gov.sg/~/media/Files/PCDG/Licensees/Information Papers/PR_ISP.pdf
There are 2 main points at pages Page 7 of 16 and Page 16 of 16 to be particularly noted.- Where all ISP's are to prominently show their peak and off peak
All else is non relevant .
Well if they don't enforce it then IDA is merely a toothless tiger.
I think the failure of the ISP stems from a weak IDA

ISP advertised it with 'up to' as the key word.
All ISP predicted that consumer grade broadband consumer dont really consume more than 100GB a month. Any more is considered abused. Since infrastructure allow high speed, they do overselling by allow bursting mode of bandwidth, that's why you can reach 900+Mbit/s on 1Gbit plan.
In reality, you won't even consume 1Gbit/s
24/7 under normal use case.
That why ISP can decrease the price of their plan because the actual data bandwidth used is still consider low.

I was getting 920M+ but video streaming lagging. Complaint a few times and isp support is of no help. Support is quite outdated knowledge. Now I am 800M+. After reading what people wrote here i decide to forget about it as i understand as a user nothing i can do. Never complaint to IDA. I reduced my surfing and the use of internet during my free time. I just go out to relax. Looking at computer is boring when video keep lagging.

What made you think so? $6.10 is only for low income with FA. Please share why you think so.

If it is so, why SH and ST still never drop price to $39 since M1 has already drop price?
Is it possible for 1Gbps at $29/mth?

They will
Hard as a USEr but steadily capture proof , Then contact IDA , then they will as in my case .
1st step when you have sufficiently provided and spoken to IDA , slightly higher level .Then you get a few months Subscription waived
Then next step .. You still pursue and then You can get off without penalty arranged courtesy of IDA
.. Those information are published .
When you get 1 or 2 levels upwards they will listen provided you provide proof ...
Some of the folks you need to speak to are in this list
http://app.sgdi.gov.sg/listing.asp?agency_subtype=dept&agency_id=0000022117
See the point you must understand is .. these scholars want a cushy life .
They wont like the screw uup of a ISP bother them .. and so they will take action by dumping it to a low end Manager / asst Manager . And that is the clue .. Persistence
If you have substance , there is no body you need to be scared of
Speak clearly / Professionlly
Ask and clearly mention that it is local traffic and speed that you want a standard at .

Peak ad off peak
. Because weven with the little regulation form ISP .. Peak and off peak ..
All you need to do is provide peak time slow speed data , not busrt speed .
speed .
Why you get a Video / lag or evn a slow down load that does not compute effectively that a 1 Gbps should offer . Try to down load from NUS repository and compute the speed ir the rate at which it comes down .. watch it ( capture screen with Camtasia if you have... because ISP's Like MR cant even sustain a 500 Mb/s local speed (between 7 and 9 Pm ) .
It is a every day every evening nightmare.
But don't ever give the ISP and they folks to blame you. .. clean up your act . Flush DNS , get rid of spyware ... using adw cleaner and spybot as I do .
Manually handle several clean ups before embarking to slug it out
I user every one not to put up with nonsense . Raise the expectations and it will happen .

Do ping logs ebery second
Capture the log and then you know OOKLA 's busrt speed sampling is not indicative of throughput . Do it at night / peak time .. compare it against a day time say like a Saturday / sunday..or Your off day whichever that might be and compare . Convince yourself 1st before you try to convince IDA . Who knows very well. .. might and will try to shake you off.. Don't let go.
