Compare MyRepublic Internet Plans & NBN Deals

What happened to MyRepublic?

MyRepublic entered the Australian broadband market in 2016. It built its offering around nbn® services and a particular focus on high-speed internet and gaming.

However, MyRepublic announced its decision to leave the Australian broadband market in December 2022. Superloop subsequently acquired MyRepublic's Australian nbn® subscriber base, which included approximately 52,000 subscribers at the time of the acquisition.

The transition of customers from MyRepublic to Superloop was completed in early 2023. As a result, MyRepublic is no longer an Australian residential internet provider.

What happened to MyRepublic customers?

Customers who need details about an old MyRepublic Australia account or migrated service should check their Superloop account. They should also review their current service details.

MyRepublic and Superloop

Superloop acquired MyRepublic's Australian nbn® subscriber base as MyRepublic withdrew from the Australian broadband market.

At the time, the acquisition covered approximately 52,000 MyRepublic nbn® subscribers.

This doesn't mean MyRepublic and Superloop were the same provider when MyRepublic operated in Australia. Instead, Superloop acquired the Australian subscriber base as part of MyRepublic's exit.

Today, consumers looking for MyRepublic nbn® plans should consider Superloop or another provider that is accepting new customers.

What internet plans did MyRepublic offer?

Before leaving Australia, MyRepublic focused heavily on nbn® broadband. Its Australian internet offering became particularly associated with faster nbn® speed tiers and unlimited data.

MyRepublic offered services across speed categories including Standard Plus, Premium, Superfast and Ultrafast. Availability depended on the customer's nbn® connection and the speed tier selected.

These plans are no longer available for new Australian customers. Old MyRepublic pricing and plan inclusions shouldn't be used to judge what internet services are currently available.

MyRepublic nbn® speeds

Its historical Australian plan range included services across several nbn® speed tiers. This included higher-speed Superfast and Ultrafast options for eligible connections.

If you chose MyRepublic before for faster internet, many Australian providers now offer high-speed nbn® plans.

MyRepublic Gamer Pro

One of MyRepublic's most distinctive Australian products was Gamer Pro. MyRepublic promoted Gamer Pro towards online gamers who wanted additional network features and greater control over their internet connection.

The Gamer Pro option included features such as a static IP address. It was designed to complement eligible MyRepublic nbn® services.

Gamer Pro and MyRepublic's Australian gaming internet plans are no longer available for new customers. Gamers looking for a new internet service should instead compare current providers with the help of Compare Broadband.

MyRepublic modem

MyRepublic supplied modem and router equipment with eligible Australian broadband services during its time in the market. The hardware supplied varied over the years and depended on the service and plan.

Former customers may therefore still have MyRepublic-branded or supplied equipment from an old service.

If you're switching providers, check compatibility before assuming an old MyRepublic modem can be used with your new connection.

MyRepublic vs Superloop

MyRepublic vs Superloop is now a very different comparison from when both providers actively competed for Australian broadband customers.

MyRepublic no longer offers residential broadband in Australia, while Superloop continues to provide internet services to Australian customers.

Superloop also acquired MyRepublic's Australian nbn® subscriber base when MyRepublic exited the market.

For someone choosing an internet provider today, there is therefore no current MyRepublic plan to compare directly against Superloop.

Is MyRepublic internet still available?

MyRepublic internet is no longer available to new residential customers in Australia.

This applies even though the MyRepublic brand continues to exist internationally.

Australian consumers should be careful when viewing current MyRepublic information online. Plans in other countries do not reflect the Australian nbn® market.

If you found an old Australian MyRepublic plan, deal, or review, check when it was published. Do this before relying on its pricing, speeds, or inclusions.

MyRepublic alternatives

Since MyRepublic no longer provides residential internet in Australia, new customers will need to consider a MyRepublic alternative.

If you liked MyRepublic for its high-speed nbn®, consider providers with faster nbn® speed tiers at your address.

If gaming was the attraction, consider more than the advertised maximum download speed. Your nbn® technology, typical evening speed, latency, modem and home network can all influence the experience.

Price may also be important. Compare the ongoing cost rather than focusing solely on introductory discounts. It's a good idea to check whether modem charges, setup costs or contract conditions apply.

Most importantly, check what's actually available at your address. nbn® technology and supported speed tiers can differ between properties.

How to choose a MyRepublic alternative

There isn't one internet provider that will be the best MyRepublic replacement for every household.

Start with your connection. Check which nbn® technology is available at your address and which speed tiers it can support.

Then consider how your household uses the internet. When comparing providers, consider:

• Monthly price and ongoing cost
• Typical evening speeds
• Available nbn® speed tiers
• Modem and Wi-Fi options
• Contract or no-lock-in terms
• Setup and equipment costs
• Customer support
• Current plan features and inclusions

This gives a clearer comparison than just looking for a provider that matches the old MyRepublic brand.
