Singapore’s MyRepublic enters Indonesia with fiber Internet services
In this article (6)
It would seem that Singapore-based startup Internet provider MyRepublic has just launched operations in a new market: Indonesia.
A quick look at MyRepublic’s Singapore website now shows Indonesia listed as one of the countries of operation along with Singapore and New Zealand. The New Zealand operation launched in October last year.
MyRepublic’s Indonesian site is also live in Bahasa Indonesia and lists nine retail locations in areas such as Palembang and Surabaya.
MyRepublic plans
The site lists prices for all. The cheapest fiber optic plan is the Basic, which retails at US$15, while the most expensive plan Supernova retails at about US$70.
It should be noted that the Supernova plan has a maximum download speed of 300Mbps, as opposed to the 1Gbps maximum speed MyRepublic customers in Singapore enjoy.
This move into Indonesia, however, does not come as a surprise as one of the company’s investors, the Sinar Mas Group (who in May of 2014 invested US$3.5 million) is based in Indonesia.
