Singapore-based Internet service provider (ISP) MyRepublic will officially launch in the Australian market next week with its first unlimited Internet data plans.
The company, proclaiming itself as a “market challenger pushing the limits of the National Broadband Network across the Asia Pacific”, will launch its offer of “one plan at one price” ($59.99 per month) with unlimited data at “the fastest NBN speeds available, up to 100 Mbps”.
Nicolas Demos, managing director at MyRepublic Australia, says MyRepublic was the first operator in South-East Asia to offer consumers in Singapore super-fast broadband plans of 1 Gigabit per second (1Gbps) for under $50 per month – “a move that has helped make Singapore Internet connectivity one of the fastest and most affordable in the world”.
"It is time to educate Australians on the value of quicker speeds without the restrictions of data caps," Demos says.

We will deliver customers the best speed they can get — at their location — with our unlimited plan offer with local support at a fair price."
“From Singapore to New Zealand and Indonesia we want to make a difference wherever we go and be the people's champion for maximising the full potential of the National Broadband Networks," says My Republic chief executive Malcolm Rodrigues.
"Australia is a natural fit with the NBN and we plan to educate our consumers on unlimited data plans, ensure local customer service and innovation for everyone."
MyRepublic will release addition information on its unlimited data plan next Tuesday (15 November).
