Luke1st March 2018
Managing to get good download rates (~920 down) and price seems quite reasonable for their high-end gamer plans. Any of the techs from MyRep I've spoken to seemed quite helpful when it came to their upgraded D-Link router. Only downside I've really seen with my own account is their payment options are quite limited as they only do debit/credit card and not bank deposit.
Pros:
Fast speed for Ultra Range plans if you have good hardware
The support staff I've spoken with seem to have good knowledge levels.
Cons:
Require on-time payment from debit/credit card.

I have been without a land line for seven days. They don't get back to me despite promising to do so. I have been on hold for over two hours three times since I have been trying to contact them. When I do get through, they tell me "I" have to sort out the phone problem with my previous ISP. The previous ISP states My Republic can sort it out directly with Chorus.
Pros:
Fast and cheeper.
Cons:
You better hope you dont have any problems... They are THE WORST ISP for support. (And I have dealt with... IGrin, IHUG, Xtra, Slingshot, Vodafone, Freenet, Paradise to name a few!)

Support is definitely not good untrained staff
Pros:
I have at times had good speeds and downloads 1but connection dropping out far to many times in a day
Cons:
Data throttling slowing download speeds so it takes 4+ hours to download a 400mb file so much for (UFB) Utra Fast Broardband

I've been stuck with these guys on a contract and the experience has been very, very poor. Connection constantly drops (up to 40 times a day according the connection logs.They say isn't their fault ( they blame Chorus). That may be true, but it doesn't excuse the execrable support from this company. Chorus, on the other hand, have been very responsive and helpful. They say they will get back to you but they _never_ ever do. If the price is the same as someone like Spark (but ...read more
Pros:
I was going to say price but, really, they're no cheaper or faster than anyone else now. There are no Pros at all
Cons:
Terrible, terrible support. If you don't have any issues you may be OK, but if you do it will be a nightmare for you. Also, if you need a PTR record for your domain they try to charge you $20 a month for it!!!

Every thing was OK, but it was very expensive.
Vinish3rd October 2017
I made a mistake of switching to MyRepublic without checking their reviews. They made a whole lot of errors from the beginning of the contract.
I have asked for a connection 30 days after placed the order, but they went ahead and started connection in 5 days. So I ended up paying for both ISPs :(. I have pointed out this to them and had a lot of conversations around this which didn't get anywhere, but denying its not their fault. It is chorus who dealt with connection and t ...read more
Pros:
Nothing
Cons:
Customer Service
Phone Line
Speed
SubContractors
Everything that I can think of

Worst internet ever. No reliable connection, it is ALWAYS dropping and can't use the internet for anything. Have asked for a new modem but still the same bad connection. Paying the earlier termination fee as it is not worth having a deal if it does not work.
Cons:
Everything. Poor connection
Ricardo7th July 2017
Have been with MyRepublic for over 12 months. They have always been very quick to support. Recommend
