Knowing our govt, no guarantee they'll fully open up when the agreement expires.

Nevertheless, I shall allow myself to get wet a little in anticipation of myrepublic's entry.

I can imagine all the stu**d excuse that the government will give to prevent new companies joining in.

interesting but bit skeptical so until they knock my door i reserve my comment... hopefully they won't be another ABNXcess or P1..

Every ISP needs a licence to operate. Being in this industry, republic statement is just cakap2 only. Unless the company buy an existing ISP (or smaller ISP in Malaysia), i doubt that it will be implemented in this year or 2016.

If im not mistaken, they have to apply individual licence in which they to get minister's green light. That alone will take about 3months ++. Not counting all relevant compliance requirements such as bumi shareholding quota, minimum paid up capital yada yada more less takes about a year to complete. This does not taking to account the backhaul, CMS, marketing, customer support. So you do the math

This is madness. TM is the most profitable GLC apart from Petronas. You think our beloved government can easily sell their cash cow?

no hope la.
just pray we have a better Gomen much better then u want Republic come to this country

change gov only can change package..

Malaysian living in Singapore for the moment and using MyRepublic. Slight correction, permanent static IP has a one-time charge of S$50. By default they only give private IP addresses (much like Maxis), probably due to IP address exhaustion. That said, MyRepublic seems like the only ISP currently that doesn't have IPv6 access.

Speed's good, no observable throttling, good routing for most cases, no bandwidth caps either.

I don't have Gigabit Ethernet, but I can consistently achieve > 90 Mbps downstream over WiFi. With GbE you can easily get > 500 Mbps on the downstream.



International bandwidth is pretty decent too, depending on where/who you test with.

SF


SK


UK


Oh they have this service called Teleport too which allows you to use Netflix, Hulu, etc without the use of any VPN or special software.

Overall quite satisfied with their service. (Should also add that they are already operational in New Zealand and Indonesia).

Yeah, I think they are pretty much the only ISP in Singapore that doesn't have any form of IPv6 access. (SingTel doesn't have either, but at least they have 6rd).

Haven't been using any VPN for torrents, but so far no trouble. Haven't received any warning letter either It's only when content providers decide to take action, otherwise it's usually fairly quiet.

Legal torrent for test:


One of the speed tests up there is to San Francisco.

Seattle (Softlayer):


New York (Optimum Online):


Steam downloads (I believe they may have a local CDN, though):


YouTube 4K@60fps (haha, laptop dropping frames already):


Yeah, some places have really suboptimal routes. It depends on the peers. For example, speed tests to San Francisco to Unwired vs Comcast makes a huge difference. So I did a test again to Softlayer Communications (the previous one was Vodafone UK), the results were much better:
