    Same price but ongoing here https://buzztelco.com.au/nbn/
    Also, $10 less for life of the plan with this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/317040

    • Spizz on 31/07/2017 - 11:59

      And at 100Mbps speeds as opposed to this 25Mbps.

    • lostn on 31/07/2017 - 13:50

      Who do Buzz and Amaysim resell? Optus?

      • edshays on 31/07/2017 - 14:15

        Buzz = AAPT. Not sure about Amaysim

        • lostn on 31/07/2017 - 14:20

          AAPT. There's a name I haven't heard in a long time. I remember their catchy commercials from the 90s.

          AA
          AAP
          AAPT
          Smart chat!

          Are they reliable/fast?

        • edshays on 31/07/2017 - 14:41

          @lostn:

          I have been very happy with Buzztelco. Have run a bunch of speedtests, speeds are always fantastic. Have never seen any drastic drops during peak like I did with Skymesh.

        • Abaddon on 18/08/2017 - 10:50

          Amaysim are also AAPT. I must say I have been pretty happy with their service. Performance is pretty consistent (only one major slowdown for a couple of hours).

          I also contacted customer support and they were happy to switch me over to the $60 for 6 months from the $70 I was paying.

    100/40 My Republic - month to month $69

    • fattyboombatty on 31/07/2017 - 11:29

      that's dirt cheap - how's the service and congestion?

      • nocure on 31/07/2017 - 11:32

        Excellent service, no congestion noticed.(fttp)

        • DoesntEvenMatter on 31/07/2017 - 11:38

          @Dezeption: Republic was terrible to get connected. Took 3/4 weeks. But once it got going it's been amazing. Speed's of about 60/70 Up 30/40 Down. (That's off a Syndey Server as well, I'm in Far North QLD). But yeah if you don't mind the wait $60 a month is cheap as chips.

        • steelpanther on 31/07/2017 - 17:35

      Also worth noting that TPG FTTB is superior and cheaper, check if you live in an apartment with it or not first before getting on the NBN.

      I notice a mob called Telecube have a similar special running at the moment listed on the Whirlpool website.. Reading their threads seem to indicate a lot of happy campers.

    +1 for MyRepublic. 100/40 with no congestion. $59/month on 12 month contract. Amazing

    • lostn on 31/07/2017 - 13:51

      How long have you been on them? I get unreliable speeds. Sometimes it's 95/36, but sometimes really slow.

      • Bellpop on 31/07/2017 - 14:38

        6 months i guess. had a rough patch for a few days but then they sorted it out. make a complaint if needed. the squeaky wheel…

    • Turd on 31/07/2017 - 11:55

      or TPG FTTB! Cheap and congestion free and super fast!

    • lostn on 31/07/2017 - 13:59

      I pick Cheap and Congestion Free.

      Unlimited is out of the question, so I guess I'll settle for 2TB then.

      • Turd on 31/07/2017 - 14:12

        Upgraded my adsl2+ 20/1 unlimited to FTTB 100/40 unlimited and paying the same price :) :)

    MyRepublic 100/40 FTTN here, so far so good.

    Their only problem is customer service.

    • lostn on 31/07/2017 - 13:53

      I think it's a matter of time before they ditch the local call center and replace them with a filipino call center. The service will improve from there on, because it will be cheaper for them so there will be a lot more lines and operators and you won't have to wait 45 mins on hold then get disconnected and have to call back.

      The current service is a joke. All credit to them for getting locals and 24 hour hotline, but they clearly can't handle the load.

      • superforever on 31/07/2017 - 13:56

        The last online chat was good for me. As soon as I start the chat somebody replied me immediately.

          When you have internet problems that might be hard.

        • superforever on 31/07/2017 - 14:01

          @lostn:

          I have no Internet problem since day one only problem is the home phone porting and compensation due to slow home phone porting.

        • lostn on 31/07/2017 - 14:04

          @superforever:

          I had slow home porting too. How long did you have to wait?

          How much compo did you get? Because when I dealt with them a few times, they always shifted the blame to TPG. TPG shifted the blame to MyR.

          No one offered me compo. TPG insisted I continued paying until the number was ported over 2 months later, even though the internet had already moved over.

        • superforever on 31/07/2017 - 14:10

          @lostn:

          I have MyRepublic installed on Feb and I couldn't get my home phone ported across from TPG until end of May. They said for some reason they missed me on the first batch. Normal porting from TPG will need at least 6 weeks but I am more than that.

          They only offered one month but I still couldn't see it under my account yet.

        • lostn on 31/07/2017 - 14:17

          @superforever:

          They told me the same. Said TPG takes ages unlike everyone else. But TPG told me everything was ready on their end, it was MyR who was taking a long time.

          Don't know who to believe. But it ended up taking about 8 weeks.

          If it's true that TPG needs 6 weeks, then TPG are dodgy, because they want you to keep paying until it's ported over. You have to keep your service active with them in order for the porting process to continue. And they're dodgy anyway. When you leave, they need 30 days notice and will continue charging you even if you port before the 30 days is up.

  • Cral42 on 31/07/2017 - 11:43

    Another MyRepublic customer here. 100/40 for $59 unlimited data, $1 set-up, 12 month contract. Seeing average 90/30 on HFC in North Sydney.
    My mate in Wollongong is getting 1000/400Mbps for $59/mnth with their gigatown promo.

    • mathew42 on 31/07/2017 - 11:49

      MyRepublic are from Singapore and currently discounting plans very heavily in an attempt to shake up the market. It will be interesting to see how long they are prepared to loose money before providing more realistic plans.

      • Bellpop on 31/07/2017 - 12:12
        +1

        I hope they keep loosening the monies for a long time

        • mathew42 on 31/07/2017 - 12:45

          I hope they disrupt the market before the losses become too high.

        • lostn on 31/07/2017 - 13:55

          @mathew42: They sort of have. Small players like Buzz Telco are doing 100/40 for $10 more than MyR.

          But I don't think you're going to see Telstra 100/40 for $59 anytime soon.

        • mathew42 on 31/07/2017 - 15:05

          @lostn: I'm particularly interested in the 1Gbps plans. Wholesale NBNCo price is $145/month, so MyRepublic are loosing money before you need to add CVC at $15/Mbps = $15000 for 1Gbps. This figure can be divided by the appropriate contention ratio, but even at 1:100 it is still $150. Next add MyRepublic's internal costs (backhaul, admin, etc.) and GST.

  • malouphix on 31/07/2017 - 11:50

    How's the peak hour performance?

  • Axelstrife on 31/07/2017 - 12:01

    Myrepublic here 95/37 speeds 24/7 no slow downs during peak
    100% worth the money.

    Connection time takens longer than normal but worth the wait.

    • sirob1 on 31/07/2017 - 12:21

      My republic is congested and it's getting worse. Real evidence from the Aspley POI (hfc 100/40 plan)
      https://sirob1.github.io/monitor/

      • Axelstrife on 31/07/2017 - 12:38

        8 or 9 months with them and not a single time has there been slowdown or congestion.
        I was among the first group connected from the whirlpool forum.

      • mathew42 on 31/07/2017 - 12:44

        The charts definitely indicate congestion, but provide insufficient information to determine the cause.
        - Can you extend the monitoring to ping an internal server on myrepublic network?
        - Can connect to several servers for testing to eliminate a particular host having the issue?

        It is going to be interesting to see teh ACCC data when it becomes available.

    My republic didn't work for me, although their speed was good. Torrents & vpn not supported. Maybe other restrictions apply also.

    • DoesntEvenMatter on 31/07/2017 - 12:22

      Ahh VPN not supported thats a major downside

      • Axelstrife on 31/07/2017 - 12:39

        You pay extra for the static IP or as they call it gaming pro mine is working fine.
        $69 a month.

      I have used ExpressVPN, TorGuard and NordVPN on my My Repblic service. Also torrent with and without a VPN on my MyRepublic FTTP.

    Lol discussion turned to MyRepublic it seems 😂

  • Petsa on 31/07/2017 - 12:45

    People keep mentioning no congestion with different providers. I thought everyone's connection was the same (apart from bandwidth and volume).

    • edshays on 31/07/2017 - 13:16
      +1

      The way the NBN sells it's bandwidth to providers, results in some companies being better than anothers in terms of download speeds. I don't believe this was an issue with ADSL.
      Pretty much the cost the NBN sells it's bandwith to the RSP is far more than you pay for it. The only way it can be profitable is to oversubscribe. I think 100/40 of pure connection from the NBN costs an RSP like $170. Obviously you are only paying say $60 a month for that. To be profitable, multiple customers have access to that 100/40 of bandwidth, assuming not everyone is going to be maxing it out at the same time.

      However, at peak time, a lot of people are streaming, therefore congestion arises. a Budget company is more likely to oversubscribe more aggressively than an expensive company.

      Think of bandwidth as cordial. An expensive provider (eg. Telstra) would dilute their cordial less than My Republic (cheap).

      • Petsa on 31/07/2017 - 13:43

        Thanks. I thought everyone accessed the same one big pool. Obviously some companies pay for only a small portion and then split that up amongst its customers. I guess the trick is to find a balance between price and service.

  • leyton01 on 31/07/2017 - 12:48

    Buzz telco were super helpful when setting up a connection, quick and easy. $59 for 100/40 per month is great value too.

    • edshays on 31/07/2017 - 13:20

      I moved from Skymesh to Buzztelco and Buzztelco speeds have been far better than Skymesh. I toyed with going with MyRepublic, despite bad reviews, but lucky I saw Buzztelco, as I was fearful of locking into a contract with MyRepublic (and I didn't want to pay extra for month to month).

    • halfnhalf71 on 31/07/2017 - 13:55

      I moved to Buzz telco too from Mate and went from 25 to 100 for $59/month. I've done a few speed tests (typically during peak times) and the best i've had has been about 45-50/30. But for $10 less a month i will say it's still a win.
