MyRepublic announces nationwide 1Gbps symmetrical UFB for SMEs

ISP MyRepublic is announcing a New Zealand wide enterprise grade 1Gbps symmetrical UFB service at mass market pricing for small and medium-sized businesses, starting at $499.99 for fibre broadband with unlimited data.

"Businesses were prioritised in the UFB rollout, yet they"re under-represented," says MyRepublic managing director Vaughan Baker. "Big business has had 1Gbps connections for a long time, but from today SMEs can take advantage of those same connection speeds."

"Driving ultra-high speed broadband to mass-market prices is critical in increasing SME competitiveness in New Zealand so they can punch above their weight both locally and abroad. Today's announcement will ultimately drive corresponding increases in GDP, jobs, capital and investment across New Zealand – at a time when global digital infrastructure is improving at a breath-taking rate regionally."

APAC is surging ahead with ultra-high speed broadband, with Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan ranked by ITU (International Telecommunication Union) as being in the Top 5 globally for average peak connection speed. "New Zealand needs to be more ambitious, to get itself into the top 10 and achieve a credible global ranking."

"As at June 2015, fibre connections made up 5 percent of all broadband connections (up from 2 percent in 2014), and the market share of fibre connections is increasing. Compared with other countries in the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development), New Zealand"s fibre connections were still below the average value of 17 percent." (Statistics NZ, 2015)

The data also shows that today 33% of the subscriptions have no data cap and average consumption is 45GB per household connection. The company claims to sign up 300 to 400 new fibre broadband subscribers on a daily basis.

According to the press pack distributed MyRepublic is planning to launch Australian operations in March 2016 with Malaysia following as well.
Hang in there guys , we still got hope tho

I am afraid that Myrepublic might follow Abnxcess' fate. They failed to penetrate the market because of difficulty to expand the coverage.

Myrepublic Indon only managed to cover very small area in Jakarta.

abn is good actually..if there is still no unifi maybe i will jump into it from streamyx

abn actually called me up for some promotions last time but apparently on this forum itself got many bad reviews saying that they throttle your internet during peak hours. That was the only reason I didn't get them.

Are you using abn or unifi now?

We need wider coverage and affordable plans without gimmicks, TM THAT'S YOU, WE DON'T NEED SHYT TV.

Because this is Malaysia ah . If this is US, TM would got themselves fined for forced bundled subscription.

US themselves ain't any better than us. Probably better speed tho.

Fiber@Home covers landed homes in Bandar Laguna Merbok, Sungai Petani and Setia Eco Gardens in Johor.

With Penang State government now signing a partnership with them, they'll cover all types of homes in the state both landed and apartments.

None for KL & KV people. 
pretty sure myrepublic starting oso the same.. first 1 or 2 years only highrise building then ...
see first la. can make money or not. 

Comcast, Verizon and AT&T has been known to sent death threats to their customers for bringing too much questions and requests. They can be very nasty.

They're all just dinosaur companies sitting on billions of dollars of assets just waiting to cash out by shareholders.

Verizon is known for their dirty tactics of shutting down their copper POTS telephone networks and forcing their customers to take up 4G mobile broadband with  small monthly quotas.

Small community based networks built by the locals are still the best choices if you're lucky enough to live in a town with internet savvy population.
