Hi all

Recently hyperfibre just became available in my premise. I am thinking of getting it but I have to choose between My Republic and Orcon.

Since My Republic has an extremely bad reputation in the Geekzone forum, I just want to ask if anyone has hyperfibre through Orcon and kind enough to share with me their experience. Is the speed reliable and what's Orcon like (I am with spark at the moment)?

Lastly, with the Nokia ONT that comes with the installation, should I still keep my current router or potentially get a WiFI mesh system?

Thank you

did you really need to start another thread? just use the main hyperfibre one. its not like there is a tonne of ISP's offering it nor a tonne of people who actually have it

you will need to provide your own Wifi device

getting a mesh solution on hyperfibre is a sin.

You'll need more than a WiFi mesh system to make any good use of a 4Gb/s connection. Are you sure you really want to do this?

Please discuss in existing thread: https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=49&topicid=262219

Since you're asking about keeping your existing router or using Mesh then perhaps 4Gbit Fibre isn't for you. Gigabit is all most people need. Going to Hyperfibre won't improve gaming ping or day-to-day internet browsing and trust me, I am a very high user and have decided to stay on Gigabit.
