The company that made 100 mbps plans the norm in Singapore, Indonesia and New Zealand is now launching in Australia. At 59.99 for a 100mbps line, it will be the cheapest 100mbps plan in Australia. Not to mention a lot cheaper than some ADSL plans and some lower speed NBN plans from other providers that have download limits. They also have a MyRepublic Gamer plan for 69.99. Not sure what different but possibly to do with low network latency (+static IP).

Not sure how they will manage the $59.99 price with the NBN's CVC pricing model on top of the AVC charge but the CVC pricing model is being overhauled soon hopefully

      what do you mean?

  • RockyRaccoon on 15/11/2016 - 03:29

    By email yesterday.

    Looks like they check if you are able to get NBN before sending you an invite

    Thank you for your interest in MyRepublic.

    Congratulations, we have confirmed that the MyRepublic Unlimited SuperFast nbn™ service is available at your address.

    From Tuesday the 15th November, you can go online to place your order.

    I am currently on NBN FTTP

  • chorong on 15/11/2016 - 09:12

    Their site has launched
    Looks like they do ADSL as well at the same price point which is interesting.

    I got an email this morning stating I don't have NBN but they can offer me ADSL. Which is weird as I'm on NBN at the moment. Called up their number, the Customer Service guy was helpful but he couldn't locate NBN at my address.
    I ended up finding my NBN connectivity details on Finder.com.au and give him the Location ID and ADA, which he was able to locate and setup the account for me. Confirmed with him their service will delivery via a different UNI_D port so I wouldn't have any down time.
    Also opt in for the $1 Wi-Fi router as well. Looking forward to see how their service is.

    • TheGhost on 15/11/2016 - 11:19

      Would you mind explaining how to get thet information from Finder. I am having the same problem but don't know how to find that information. Thanks in advance.
      I even got the confirmation email saying that i can get the super fast nbn. But now when i check my address on their website, it says nbn not available.

        freakunow,

        This was what I did:
        1. head to https://www.finder.com.au/nbn-tracker
        2. Type in my suburb and postcode. This will bring up your suburb map
        3. I then zoom in and scroll to the apartment block I was on, click on it, which the status at the bottom will show No NBN connection information. However, it does provide close address matches. I simply scroll through that list and find my apartment number.
        4. The status should change to Connected (If you are already on NBN) or Ready to Connect (If you are not connected but NBN is available) along with other details including Location ID and ADA number on the right pane.

        You can then call back and give them the exact address shown on the status box, and give them the location ID and ADA as well which will help them to match up. My apartment block has around 500 units and it certainly helps. Good luck.

    • lufee on 15/11/2016 - 10:16

  • Reddog888 on 15/11/2016 - 10:18

    Didn't get any email here, despite preordering, so went to the website and signed up direct. Decided not to wait as I wanted to be up the front of the install request queue. Will wait to see what happens now.

    I am not in a NBN area but am currently with Belong ADSL2+. There is a bit of congestion in the evening. I believe my area is pretty much owned by Telstra as they control all the ports. Would signing up to MyRepublic ADSL help at all seeing how they're all about speed?

      Sounds a lot like the situation I'm in. Behind a RIM, so Telstra hardware upping prices for most ISPs. Also with Belong for that reason, they weren't going to charge a fortune extra. My FTTN NBN is set to be turned on in 15 days though, so I'm looking forward to that happening.

  • Dabes on 15/11/2016 - 21:49

    I would sign up if I wasn't on a contract with a break fee on Exetel NBN until February 2018 :( I've been with Exetel since July 2005, but services like this from MyRepublic are what we should be getting, seeing as several other countries have had this kind of plan for years. Example: just outside Stockholm, 2Gbps symmetric for $45 a month. It's only (up to) 100Mbps on MyRepublic because of NBN, but it's a step in the right direction.

    Why not just give people the full speed of their line like this MyRepublic plan does? ADSL2+ has always been the same unrestricted "up to" service.

    • grab_ur_freebies on 16/11/2016 - 10:39

      I've been with Exetel since 2005 too from ADSL1—>Fibre now. Hopefully signing up to MyR once some reviews are in. This is the shakeup AU needs to force the competition to bring internet prices down & affordable for everyone.

      It's just so unfortunate that the whole Labor FTTP/Libs FTTN tug of war 'NBN' bungle has left the state of AU's internet in. It's going to take at least 2 decades to fix up. If it weren't for that we would be getting 1Gbps on this plan, at this price right now. Thanks alot Mabbott?! :s

    • RockyRaccoon on 16/11/2016 - 09:47
      +1

      I don't know about termination details, but keep in mind if on FTTP (maybe also of FTTN) you have 4 ports on your NBN box, so you can activate the service on another port and keep your old service on the original port until it gets terminated. That way you dont lose the vlaue or have any interruption to your services

      • grab_ur_freebies on 16/11/2016 - 10:49
        +1

        Yes, there are 4x UNI-D ports in which each one can carry independant internet service/connections/subscriptions from same or multiple RSP's.

        What you do is order the 2nd plan & once that is activated on another port on the NTD, you cancel your other plan from another provider & ask them to prorata refund you so you won't be out of pocket for the unused part of the remaining month.

        Also make sure to backup+change your emails & port your PSTN landline or VOIP no. to another provider if required.

    • Reddog888 on 16/11/2016 - 17:56

      Yes got mine today as well. Interesting as I received this in response to my online signup. The interesting part is that earlier today I received a 'sorry but NBN is not available' in your area in response to my preregistration, which was made over the phone with the call centre operator checking that NBN was available via FTTN at my address before placing the registration of interest. I wonder what data base the person who 'checked' this later referred to?? Clearly not the same one the rest of us are using and the one NBN Co is using.

      • Carbon Door on 16/11/2016 - 20:57

  • Javelin on 16/11/2016 - 22:07

    I just got the same email.

    I called because I was worried about transitioning from TPG and downtime, but apparently they don't close your TPG connection you can have multiple on NBN FTTP.

    Was nice to speak to an aussie in the call center who was polite and straight to the point. I signed up yesterday (15th) he said my connection should be on in 2 days. Hopefully I can get my login details as I wont need the 1 dollar Router….

    I'm one of the lucky ones who can max out 100/40 mbs, will report back how my speeds go.

    If congestion happens I will try to break contract if it becomes unreasonable, to much down time.

    Hopefully being on the Gamer plan will mean a more reliable connection, I need the Static IP which I lost when I went to NBN with TPG ( really annoying!!!)

    Was told they can see my house has nbn and they can provide but their system wont let them, so they'll "get back to me".

    • Reddog888 on 23/11/2016 - 18:08

      Yes, but speed will depend on a number of factors including distance from mode, condition of the copper between the node and your home, etc. I have signed up for this on FTTN and have today received my tracking number for the modem which has been sent, signed up 15/11. Also received a message 18/11 stating worst case of 20 day install so should be active by end 1st week of December, note the should.

      • superforever on 25/11/2016 - 13:22

        Can they port my TPG home phone number across?

        • Reddog888 on 25/11/2016 - 15:45

          Ring and ask them, probably but it would depend upon what type of number the TPG one is and how you obtained it. If you ported a number to TPG then most likely yes, but call TPG and/or MyRepublic to find out. It is all in the terms and conditions of TPG because MR says you can bring your number with you and it is an option in the sign up process BUT you need to own that number to be able to port it.

    • Reddog888 on 26/11/2016 - 17:34

      It has nothing to do with when you receive your modem. It would appear to depend on when you signed up, your location and what type of work is required and the type of connection you have. FTTP is reported to be very quick could be hours, FTTN 5-20 days. Wireless ? ADSL ?

      • congo on 26/11/2016 - 17:39

    Bunch of speed tests out from about Friday morning. Look pretty good, but slow international uploads… https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2438666#r52173566

    Well, good news, more progress. Today (Tuesday) I received an email and sms notification that an NBN techo will be at my premises in rural Victoria to connect me to the NBN (FTTN using a previously connected but currently inactive phone line) between 8am and 12 noon next Monday 5/12. So things are progressing well inside the stated time frames. I have my modem already so looking forward to Monday and then the notification from MyRepublic shortly thereafter saying my connection is active.

      It is surprising that rural Victoria already got it and I am in Brisbane CBD and still nothing has happened so I guess it confirms the fact that Brisbane is more rural than rural Victoria :)

        When did you sign up I did so am 15th Nov. It may also be the case that there were a number of 'connections' to be done here and an NBN Techo was assigned? …. or I just got lucky? In any case I am sorry for you but I am not querying my luck.

          I did sign up on 15th as well. Apparently it is to do with NBN service class mine was 12 so I have to wait you might have one of those quick service classes, it all depends on the location. :)

          +1

          @Era: No mine is Class 11 so apparently not a straight forward 'flick and connect' or 'swap the wires'.

          Go figure how the selection works but I will say this, it has NOTHING to do with MyRepublic as they put the request in and NBN prioritizes the work, so it is down to NBN Co. and God knows how they work.
