#59200 — myrepublic NBN

Just wondering if anyone has gone with them? are they as good as they 
say?  TPG speed on the 25 mbps plan has dropped from 23mbps to around 
17mbps since I started with them a few months ago, and just recently I'm 
getting buffering with movie streaming. I guess more ppl in the area are 
now on the NBN causing the speed drop? or would it be just a TPG thing?

No one ever is. They have some real downsides. They can be a complete
pain in the arse to call, can take anything from 30 mins to an hour for the
call to be answered and online chat can be worse to get a response.

Most of that wouldn’t affect you if you churned from TPG, mate of
mine did that on my suggestion in about a week from memory.
And if you have FTTP you can have them both simultaneously if
you like so no loss of internet. Just cancel with TPG once the MR
service is up on the second port on the NTU.

Their communication can be quite poor, even when there is a problem
with delivering on your signup, they can fail to even tell you that you
say need to get the ULL number when migrating from a naked service
and only tell you that when you ring them to ask why you arent connected.

They can take a month to connect you.

SOME customers are seeing a dramatic sag in the download speed
from 95 in offpeak times to 5 or even 1 in peak times in the evening
and that meaning that stuff like netflix just doesn’t work.

They only have the one POP in sydney and the pings arent brilliant
even if you are in sydney, 35ms isnt uncommon and can be much
worse than that in Perth etc.

The static IPs on the gamer plan arent generally australian ones
and it can take months for the databases to be updated by some
operations like Foxtel so your services can be refused until that
happens when they decide that you arent in Australia.

The normal plan uses CGNAT for the internal IP which
means that there isnt any easy way to run an internal server,
but the gamer plan fixes that and only costs $10 more.

On the plus side, they are by far the cheapest 100/40 plan
around and its unlimited. You can get a lower cost per month
if you don’t mine a 12/1 service and fuck all downloads from
some other RSPs.

I got a 10% reduction in the cost per month, went from 8/1
on adsl2+ to 108/44 on the NBN at the physical level which
is 10 times faster download speed and 44 times upload speed.

Get 96/30 with speedtest in off peak times. Can sag to 10/30
in peak times, but doesn’t always happen. I have gone for weeks
with no sag at all in peak times and I don’t bother with netflix.

The modem they supply is very decent and only costs $1
on the standard contract plan.

What are you downloading with ?  Mate of mine who got
a FTTP NBN service with TPG found that that steaming
turd of a modem that TPG supplys couldn’t even do 25mbps
downloads. They were fine on ethernet. He changed to MR
and now gets the full 96/34 all the time.

Do you get that poor result first thing in the morning before you go to work 
?

> and just recently I'm getting buffering with movie streaming. I guess more

It can be. Many RSPs are using Optus Wholesale and they just arent
buying enough CVC and are seeing significant sags in peak times.

> or would it be just a TPG thing?

It can be with congestion. You don’t say if you
have FTTN, HFC or FTTP or even fixed wireless.

I experienced that last night with TPG. speed was down to 5 mbps and 
netflix stopped working. makes me think it's a NBN thing rather than a 
ISP thing. but then I'm no expert on this matter.

I had stable and consistent 32-36 mbps with Telstra cable, so I'm worse 
off now in terms of speed for around the same price. However, I now have 
unlimited downloads, which is what I wanted for netflix, stan, youtube, 
etc.,

just the standard modem that TPG supplies Netcomm NF300 NF12

I have everything connected via ethernet except for mobile devices. I 
use all four ports of the modem and one is output to a five port auto 
switch ( http://tinyurl.com/mkpx543 ) and all of those ports are also used

is that a type of modem? the max speed I have had with the TPG modem is 
22mbps

usually use the internet later in the day or evening

FTTP. thanks for all that info. btw.. I was told recently that Vaya (the 
mobile company) will soon introduce an NBN broadband plan

Not relevant in your case, you'd be churning.

Yeah, its hard to find any NBN RSP that isnt
seeing that with some of their customers.

> makes me think it's a NBN thing rather than a ISP thing.

Its certainly an NBN thing because of the way CVCs are
done and the cost of them. Any NBN RSP has to ensure
that what they are paying per month for CVCs is less
than what they are receiving from their customers,
otherwise they will go broke.

> but then I'm no expert on this matter.

It is correct in this case. MT and Aussie Broadband are adding a lot more
POIs so they have complete control over what CVC capacity they have.

Its far from clear how well that will work for an operation like MR
which has unlimited downloads. Aussie Broadband doesn’t, it has
1TB download limits and charges quite a bit more per month too.

True, but there arent many that don’t have quite a bit on
the minus side too, even the majors like Optarse and Telstra.

Yeah, that’s true of those coming from HFC. But you don’t
have any choice on that, the plug will be pulled on HFC.

Its more complicated than that. Aussie Broadband doesn’t count Netflix 
downloads.

Nope, that’s the speed he gets with speedtest.

Because you were on the 25/5 plan.

He was on the 100/40 plan but changed to the 12/1 plan
because the modem was such a steaming turn on wifi.

>> Do you get that poor result first thing in the morning before you go to

Sure, but that’s the way to see if the problem is congestion, see if
there is any difference between very early and during peak times.

Yeah, almost everyone is doing that now.

so do you think I would see much improvement with a different modem? and 
if so how much would I need to spend and what one would be best? then I 
would have to configure it of course, but I guess the ISP would provide 
info on how to do that.

He certainly did, a massive improvement. Pretty sure he had the Hawed modem 
tho.

Depends on the ISP, with quite a few it’s the modem
they supply or you're on your own config wise.

Not that hard to get config support from other than the ISP tho.

You're better using speedtest.myrepublic.com.au

The problem with those is that the server used varys and that can make a big 
difference.

Just rang myrepublic to enquire about my working phone without a working 
telephone number( they have me down as having been ported but my old 
number does not work even though the phone works) I asked her about 
speed discrepancy between speed tests (did not expect her to know) but 
she did say they was a slowing effect because of ADSL and fibre being 
together and when the ADSL connections went things would speed up.

That doesn't work once the POTS service is gone after the cutover.

That’s because outgoing works before incoming
works with the ported number that happens later.

That mangles the real story. That isnt the reason for the difference between
speedtest.myrepublic.com.au and speedtest and speedtest beta.

There is certainly a coexistence period of around 18 months when the signal
levels used by the node are half what they will be once the coexistence
period is over, and that may well see the speeds increase with those like
you that are a decent part of a km away from the node in total cable 
distance.

Well I may not get the old number, they had my number as being my old 
number and she rung it and presumably got the same message that I get 
(optus advises that the number you have dialed has been disconnected)She 
said that they would email me with the number on monday (same as the 
other bloke said three days ago,) (he said tomorrow)

Yeah, it looks like you might well have lost it. Tho from
memory I think you said that you don’t care if you do lose it.

I got that a couple of days after the cutover.
Before that it just rang out just after the cutover.

My neighbour who also moved from dodo to MR didn’t
get that result, their number kept ringing out for weeks
and has now been ported successfully.

Mine was a little unusual in the sense that there was no
record of a phone or adsl service to my address at all,
even tho I have had the phone service for 45+ years
and the adsl service for 15, That may have been why
I got a different result to what the neighbour got.

Its now not even visible on the Telstra LOLO system that is
what's used to observe and change the status of POTS lines,
particularly listing them as disconnected and active.

When MR tries to port the number from Dodo the port
request has been denied repeatedly now, about 5 times
over a few weeks.

They eventually told me that I had to tell Dodo to do a
CDNO or PSTN on the LOLO service to make the line
active again so it can be ported to MR. A supervisor at
Dodo said that they couldn’t do that when I told them
that that is what MR had told me to tell them. Not that
clear why they couldn’t do that, whether they could just
use LOLO to observe the status of line and whether they
can actually use LOLO to change line status.

Now another supervisor has said that my number is no longer
visible on the LOLO system and that is why they can't do anything.

The first supervisor did ring Telstra Wholesale, Dodo resells Telstra,
and was told that my number has been returned to Telstra and
that there is nothing that can be done to port it to MR now.

I find that hard to believe and have to the TIO on the job but
havent got a result on that yet. Been with them for a month now.

MR keeps claiming that Dodo must have cancelled the phone
service but I don’t believe that because Dodo specifically told
me not to close the Dodo phone and adsl accounts until the
number had been ported to MR otherwise I would lose the number.

> She said that they would email me with the number on monday (same as the 
> other bloke said three days ago,) (he said tomorrow)

That did work for me, they did email me a new number and it works fine.

Problem is that it’s a Sydney number which is no use to
people in my town who need the number to be a local call.

MR can only provide new numbers in the capital citys and the total
fuckwit of a supervisor in MR with a first name of Karpil didn’t even
understand the concept of local calls and couldn’t understand what
the problem was with the new number. Presumably he's a Singaporean
and that is the reason he doesn’t understand the concept of local calls.

They are different because different servers are used.

You can see the server used on all but speedtest.myrepublic.com.au

And the beta has some other quirks too.

Your ping is very low, what do you get with speedtest.myrepublic.com.au ?

Mine is always about 35ms.

I'm not sure that they can actually do that. Now that the NBN is available,
they can't actually provide you with a new adsl service anymore and
presumably they cant provide you with a new POTS service either.
And the copper pair doesn’t even go from the exchange to the house
anymore, so there is no copper pair to do that on anymore.

And even if they could for example use the spare pair that is able between
the pit and the house with most houses, that will cost you $300 to use that.

Does it actually ring the phone plugged into the modem when
you call it tho ?

They havent with mine. I just got an email from them last week,
copied to the TIO, saying that my number is gone and that there
is nothing MR can do about that. Havent had anything from the
TIO about that email yet tho.

Weird. No idea why that is happening. Maybe something weird with the
myrepublic configuration of their system in Sydney. Shouldn’t be possible.

No I seem to be able to ring out, at least it rings my cellphone but I 
did not answer and have a conversation with my self( maybe I should ring 
someone) If I ring it from cellphone using old number it does not ring 
just says it is disconnected.
It is getting odder by the minute,I just rung brother from phone 
attached to modem he answered and said his cellphone said I was calling 
from my old phone number,then I hung up and he rung my old number and 
was told it was disconnected, then rung my cell to tell me.

Too radical by far.

That person has just used your old number as the caller ID for the
outgoing calls. Your old number hasn’t been ported to MR yet.

I got the same config for a while until they decided
that they couldn’t port the number to MR,
