Customers can opt to pay extra for a Wi-Fi router from MyRepublic or a cheaper no-frills plan where you use a compatible Wi-Fi router that you already own.
So, how do MyRepublic broadband plans stack up against the competition? Read on to find out.
MyRepublic broadband plans
All MyRepublic fibre broadband plans include a home phone with unlimited calls, plus no throttling for peer-to-peer downloads, including BitTorrent. Most plans have 24-month contracts, but there is one no-contract fibre broadband plan. All plans are now capable of reaching speeds up to 10Gbps, depending on the capabilities of your router, which you can bring yourself at no extra cost or add on to your plan.
MyRepublic broadband plans are split into "HyperSpeed" plans, which are designed for everyday users, and GAMER plans, which are geared towards online gamers. The only difference is that GAMER plans have their own dedicated IP address range, meaning your connection will be prioritised and optimised for the best gaming performance. You can also get real-time updates on server quality and network latency.
HyperSpeed plans start from $33.90 per month (plus $120.94 upfront) for a BYO router plan. Prices increase depending on your choice of router, which range from those only capable of maximum speeds up to 2.5Gbps to those capable of speeds up to the full 10Gbps. There are also bundles available with other lifestyle product (including tablets, home security devices, and more).
Gamers can take advantage of MyRepublic's GAMER plans from $45.99 per month for a BYO router plan, with monthly fees increasing depending on your choice of router or lifestyle product (including game consoles and collectibles).
