MyRepublic Questions & Answers
VerifiedHi, I was considering signing up on the 1000/50 Mbps, but I am concerned with all the negative reviews that I have read. Can you do something about your tech support? It's really important to me.
You've got great products but tech department seem to be leaking.
Regards Success
You'v got to remember that your chatting to a chatbot and need to phrase question simply. A human will eventually get to you if you persist. They are very helpful.
Hi Success, Thanks for reaching out. Around 2 years ago, we transitioned to online support only through Live Chat, Emails, and Social Media. This was a business decision, and we kept our call center for sales only. At the same time, we can organise callbacks if necessary on chat. We also have our Network & Tech Support page to guide you with technical-related issues.
Regards, Lauren
Thanks Lauren for your reply, As you know, not everyone is a tech savy, I am just wondering how a customer who is unable to connect to the internet can be able to use the Chat bot and All the FAQs online, I think this is the bone of contention. If this gap can be bridged, I think it will be workable.
HI Success,
Your satisfaction is our greatest concern! We invest in building our capabilities to deliver. Thanks so much for letting us know. Your feedback is valuable to us.

They have disbanded and gone back to Singapore with their tale between their legs.
How do you cancel your internet ? You cant get an answer from My Republic. All you get are automated replies. I tried to stop the charges coming out a month ago but no luck . They are still stealing from me.

Over the last several days my internet speed with my republic has slowed down to the point that I can not even log into my PS5. I have done all the necessary checks and changed my wifi password and it’s still slow. I live in St Janes Perth, is anyone else having the same issues?

Do they have Australian-based support or overseas?
Becareful with these guys not only do they not have an actual call centre once you are a customer but their support team is only online chat and you can't talk to them on the phone. They also put a Credit Enquiry on my Credit file which makes it really hard to get Homeloans and personal loans.

I would like to know if my republic modems are locked to their service only?
I am pretty sure they are not but I haven’t tried another isp on a my republic modem
Hi Maria,
Our modems are not locked.

Oh wow, I was considering joining MR from Optus but after waiting for over 20 mins on the online chat having been told I was number 1 in the queue it suddenly changed to rocketbot which couldn't understand what I wanted and offered to put me on to a human again. 10 minutes later, nothing. Thought I'd check Product review and my fears were realised. I think any telco that has more 1 star than 5 star reviews should be avoided. How does MR feel about offering such a poor customer service? Being $10 p/m cheaper than other telco's is not enough of a sweetener. Australian's value customer service imensely and it's very obvious to me that you guy's don't understand Australian's. How could you?
Hi Craig, We regret to read about your poor experience with our company thus far. We appreciate your feedback regarding the customer service. We are continuously working in the back end to improve our processes and overall experience for our customers.

Currently an Optus fixed wireless NBN customer, thinking about switching to My Republic, what arrived do you use and how long does the switch over from another provider take. We have limited mobile coverage in our area so cannot afford to be with internet as I am teaching from home.
Hi Ian, We appreciate your interest in our products and services. The general connection time frame is within 2-20 business days but still depends on your present connection. We can arrange a callback for you so we can discuss this further. We've also sent you a private message, kindly check your inbox.
Regards, John
I signed up in the morning (had a sales rep ring me) around 7am (WA time) and was connected by the time I got home from work that afternoon. However, my experience might differ from yours as we are on FTTN and have been with MyRepublic before (I switched to try a different provider - Tangarine - but returned because the connection was more stable with MyRepublic).
dont do it you will regret it 10mbps at the moment and paying for nbn100
Do MyRepublic sell mobile phones on plan

just sign up ,all the connections is correct but still have no internet,tried to make contact ,all i get is online chat.i would rather have phone contact with a person

MyRepublic says you must call to cancel your contract but they do not provide a number that’s connected. Their Chat says they do not have the number - which I do not believe. They then provide you a link simply stated to contact the same Chat and which also doesn’t list the number. A perfect circular reference to nowhere. When you trawl their website for a phone number, it’s obscured by formatting errors. Peering through the text it appears to be - 1300 282 600 - however, upon dialling, it rings twice and then automatically terminates. Please advise how I terminate? I DID NOT sign up for life!!
Why are MyRepublic answering other’s later questions and not this one requesting the correct phone number to cancel an account????
We always aim to deliver a great experience. We are gutted when we miss the mark! Thanks for taking the time to bring this to our attention. We will use the feedback to make us better and to ensure this doesn’t happen again. As we continue to evolve and adapt to more efficient customer service, we have transitioned to Live Chat, EMG.
is my republic an australian company? whic country is the call centre for customers in australia?
I think they are from Singapore. I used the online chat support to great effect. I think I did talk to someone from it Melbourne also. There support processes worked very well for what turned out to be a complicated connection. NBN had to lay new wires into the house.
Singapore is correct
MyRepublic is a Singapore based company providing services to customers across Asia Pacific region (Australia, New Zealand and Singapore ). We deploy our Customer Support across the region. Cheers, Jan - Socials Team Leader
