No human customer service – No customer can talk through phone, no one working on Sunday, my internet disconnected on Sunday for no reason, and I can't find anyone for help, never use this ISP again, really bad services. Show details

It would be good but price does not match speed – The service he provided was great, I expect that from Filipinos in a call centre. It's just a shame the product wasn't as good in comparison. It is a shame, a real shame and if I can get better I am jumping ship. Show details

It should be zero stars – Administratively incompetent. I paid for a service. I had that service for years. Every bill paid by direct debit on time. They then transferred my paid service to another customer in another state and did not give me a refund of the remaining amount of my contract. They moved all of their support offshore, then replaced that support with… Read more

chatbots. They said they would restore my service if I paid for reconnection. If this is customer service. You seriously need to look elsewhere because it is abysmal. Anyone who doubts this should see my chat log.

Easy signup, fast internet at low price! – On the 100/20 plan computers, laptops TV connected at the same time and performs quite well, cheaper than optus/telstra and gave me fast and hassle free signup and 1-month free promotion. It may be confusing to navigate their online chat system for technical support but once a officer is found they arealways happy to help! Show details ·  1

Worst customer service ever – Have been with my republic for over 6 months. Never loved the internet coverage, but for the price it’s not bad. no major issues until our property was affected by an NBN outage 6 days ago. The company never informed us of this outage and since then our internet hasn't turned back on. I’ve been told by customer service to turn off both modems and… Read more

switch them back on like I’m a complete idiot. No further solutions have been given, no advice or support. I’ve made 5 different live chat enquires, tried calling tech support over the phone and have now had to email my complaints because without our internet, their live chat feature keeps cutting out. They are absolutely useless and don’t care about their existing clients.

Give your clients effective solutions to the problems reported. We have now had no internet for nearly a week. We now signed up with a new provider and within 24 hrs the issue was rectified with them.

Secondary edit: following being told they would refund me for our terrible experience. They instead processed payment twice and then told me to contact my bank as they wouldn’t have authorised it. It clearly comes under MYREPUBLIC PTY LTD. Can anyone from your company action anything or is it just somehow always someone else’s fault??

anything until the current billing cycle is over. You can't ring MyRepublic everything has to be done via the live support chat. When using the live support chat the Customer Services goes off and does there research on the issue which can take sometime. If you don't respond to them they end the live chat. I could go on with more.........

Great value for early adopters – I joined MyRepublic when they launched with only one tier... Fast! They only offered an NBN 100/50 plan for the price others were charging for half that speed. Naturally I paid extra for the "Gamer" upgrade, which includes a Fixed IP that was handy for work purposes. Over time their plans became on par with everyone else, but with solid connection and service there was no need to change.... Until they decided to exit the Australian marker. Show details

WORST Service Provider for Internet – I was with myRepublic for a 6 month stretch. A special deal ended and they had zero interest to retain my asa customer, so I switched. I was on a direct debit arrangement (meaning all bills, including final should've been taken from my account). The final bill amount was never taken from my account and due to "internal changes" they never made an… Read more

attempt to take the money owed for my last month of service.

- I was never contacted about the overdue amount (calls or emails) - The debt was from YEARS ago, but they 'sold' my account to a debt collector - I have a black mark on my credit file that MyRepublic do NOT care about

Once the issued was investigated, the debt was immediately paid, so I instigation action to have MyRepublic credit team take action to reverse any negative changes to my credit file, given the fault was on THEIR end for NOT taking money out. They refused to help, AT ALL, and kept referring me to a collections agency, (whom I paid) who have NOTHING to do the initial error that led me to owing a different company a very small amount of money (<$100). The absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced from an ISP. It's the 2nd time since their inception and I can comfortable say, NEVER...EVER again!

Terrible customer service and dodgey – The internet service was fine. Standard nbn. Nothing particularly special about the service provider (Myrepublic). Here is where the drama starts. Was a customer back in 2016. Moved house. Called to relocate service. Waited for over 2 hrs. Gave up. Found out nbn was not available at the new area. Cancelled online. Explained that the service… Read more

Dreadful connection – I contacted this company on numerous occasions over a period of 4 years complaining about the throughput of my NBN connection. The speed tests showed nearly 50Mbps (although never consistent) BUT when I tried to view a 1080p video it kept buffering. I got nowhere with them. I eventually escalated the problem to TIO but they were useless. I have… Read more

just been forced over to SuperLoop as My Republic have gone bust. Now my connection is a constant 51Mbps AND I can get unbuffered 8K video! I was basically deceived by MyRepublic and NEVER received the connection that I was paying for. I'm glad they've disappeared from the Internet scene.

Great speeds, but be careful with customer service – I was a customer with MyRepublic 5 years ago and had a great experience in terms of speed and modem delivery. My account was on direct debit from my credit card and the payments successfully came out each month as expected. When I canceled my service it all seemed great and I got an email saying there was no outstanding balance. 5 years later I… Read more

live chat, besides waiting at least 30 mins everytime, I always got kicked out of the chat and hat to wait in the queue again.

Never ever choose them over any other internet providers. Nastiest customer service – They all live in a far away land where noone has heard of customer service and on top of that they have no phone number to contact them. Everything is on chat and for every issue their dear chat representatives have one answer “ your issue has been escalated to our support team”. I bet the support team will contact you before the next ice age. Show details

Shop around for other providers – Had gone with Myrepublic for NBN and discovered that it is actually impossible to speak to anyone or get any assistance after hours especially if there is a network outage. Have had a few instances of needing network but had outages so could not use it. So luckily my neighbour shared his network with me. Finally found the time to compare prices… Read more

and decided to switch over to another provider, taking for granted a pro-rata bill with a refund. This is where they get you- you pay for the entire month regardless the unused billing period.

Customer support option for MyRepublic is poor - there is a phone number for Sales but nothing for any further support. The only option is either to fill in a form to be contacted or a live chat but if you don't have network, how do you contact them on live chat?

Do Not Waste Your Time and Money – Do not believe them if they say that they will cover certain charges. You will get a charge for it. They will lock you in contracts after they lure you in with fake advertisements of no lock in contracts on their website. They won't allow your written conversations to be accessed and will try to make everything on the phone so there is no record.… Read more

Record all interactions because they will lie and deceive to get as much money from you as they can get. I didn't get a month cooling off period after they lied to me about a $300 fee they will cover if I go with the 24 month plan. Now they are trying to charge me $174 every month because I terminated my $79 a month plan with them when they took the $300 out of my account. I wasn't even given a full months access to the internet that I had paid for. It isn't fair and it is dishonest. Don't waste your time and money.
