Count-Bracula Twincharged January 23, 2014 Share January 23, 2014 Hi MCF bros, Anyone took up this plan? https://secure.myrepublic.com.sg/pricing.php I have given up on the 3 telcos and may opt for this. Can share your surfing experience for this? Thanks! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxilplix Turbocharged January 23, 2014 Share January 23, 2014 Fuyoh, cheap siol. Make sure your hardware can support the speeds I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyfitms Twincharged January 23, 2014 Share January 23, 2014 i have the old 100Mbps plan. Will upgrade to the 1GBps when available. satisfied with the service. Not sure how it compares with the big 2 telco, but i rather give my money to new companies than ST or SH 1GBps is gimmicky IMO. i dont think you will experience significant faster speeds than the typical 100mbps. But i rather pay $10-20 more and support new startups like myrepublic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porker Turbocharged January 23, 2014 Share January 23, 2014 rumours have it that other isp throttles BT speed at certain time of the day not sure if it is true, though They don't just throttle that. They throttle online video streaming too! At least this is what I SUSPECT in case they sue me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zxcvb Turbocharged January 23, 2014 Share January 23, 2014 1gbps won't make any significant increase in speed in browsing Internet websites if you're already on 200mbps or lower. It's like eating buffet, no matter how much food I put on the table, your stomach can only eat so much. The only use for this plan is maybe your household got 10 over ppl using Internet and BitTorrenting at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilluaX 1st Gear January 23, 2014 Share January 23, 2014 I think this 1G broadband is only good if your PC/laptop is connected to your router wired. There isn't any WIFI can achieve this kind of speed practically at the moment. So you will be wasting most of your bandwidth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxilplix Turbocharged January 23, 2014 Share January 23, 2014 (edited) I dunno about myrepublic, best to sniff around for reviews on their service in relation to what you want. I know myrepublic targets the gaming crowd in some of their marketing. On viewqwest no problem with online video streaming, but part of their sell is their vpn service which allows me access to Netflix/hulu+ and other streaming services. So far i've had no problems at all with streaming movies on my tv at any time of the day even with shared usage (tv+tablet+desktop). But like I said, that's their selling point and they claim to even route connections to optimise streaming. Also my plan is 400mbps but I've seen ~570mpbs download speeds on my desktop (LAN cable) and about 70mpbs on my tablet (wifi).

Little_prince Supersonic January 23, 2014 Share January 23, 2014 few thoughts. 1. value for money. but i rather have lesser speed at a lower cost. 2. for surfing the bottleneck is seldom the bandwith but rather the speed of the overseas servers 3. to make maximum use of the speed, most would probably need to upgrade their equipment. but no matter what router you use, no way wireless will beat wired. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
