Could MyRepublic make Australian internet great for the first time?

The date for launch is on Tuesday, 15th of November. MyRepublic are focusing largely on the gaming market. They offer a network optimised for low latency, high speeds and unlimited data. Whatever network you’re on, MyRepublic will ensure that it’s working to its maximum capability. The plan is a flat rate monthly fee of $69.99. Sounds pretty good, right? They are represented at PAX Aus in Melbourne this week and are offering a special discounted rate of $59.99 for gamers. Get in quick though, the deal is limited to the first 500 customers.

So, what’s included in the deal?
