Hulu-Plus Subscription from Singapore
Many tricks can be done to get the service...but here is the thing....
UOB has this UOB AMEX Virtual Pay and use the Virtual Global e-Shop to get your address first...
That will sort out your phone number and address (or get a real one from Skype...Worth the hassle... or ask me for more details)
Go and buy a HULU PLUS Prepaid Card from PowerSeller and that will sort out your account.
You will need a VERIFIED PAYPAL ACCOUNT. Make sure you have the correct email address as the email address they deliver to you is THE PAYPAL Account ID.
You can use your POSB/DBS Internet Banking to Load money to your account...for a lesser fee..
Cost wise? $25-3mths, $50-6mths, $100- 1yr
We have bought it..and worked..and Teleport service worked with Hulu Plus...
They also do NetFlix...iTunes US and many more......
Details are avail...

Why is my Internet so slow???
If you suffered service lapses during the weekend, do accept our apologies, as it's something beyond our control causing many of the equipments to self reboot ( auto protection mode ) or caused you to be disconnected.
Initially, there was hardware fault somewhere...which was rectified. But we were hit by DDOS.... and we were not the only ones. Our peers got hit too..some harder than others...and to protect individual customer's interests... you inclusive... we have to add a little bit more protection so you don't crash your PC....
And I did some additional research and found this

We want your sincere comments
Global internet slows after 'biggest attack in history' COMMENTS (586) By Dave Lee Technology reporter, BBC NewsThe internet around the world has been slowed down in what security experts are describing as the biggest cyber-attack of its kind in history. A row between a spam-fighting group and hosting firm has sparked retaliation attacks affecting the wider internet. It is having an impact on popular services like Netflix - and experts worry it could escalate to affect banking and email systems. Five national cyber-police-forces are investigating the attacks. Spamhaus, a group based in both London and Geneva, is a non-profit organisation which aims to help email providers filter out spam and other unwanted content. To do this, the group maintains a number of blocklists - a database of servers known to be being used for malicious purposes. Recently, Spamhaus blocked servers maintained by Cyberbunker, a Dutch web host which states it will host anything with the exception of child pornography or terrorism-related material. Sven Olaf Kamphuis, who claims to be a spokesman for Cyberbunker, said, in a message, that Spamhaus was abusing its position, and should not be allowed to decide "what goes and does not go on the internet". Spamhaus has alleged that Cyberbunker, in cooperation with "criminal gangs" from Eastern Europe and Russia, is behind the attack. Cyberbunker has not responded to the BBC's request for comment. 'Immense job' Steve Linford, chief executive for Spamhaus, told the BBC the scale of the attack was unprecedented.

'Immense job' Steve Linford, chief executive for Spamhaus, told the BBC the scale of the attack was unprecedented. "We've been under this cyber-attack for well over a week."But we're up - they haven't been able to knock us down. Our engineers are doing an immense job in keeping it up - this sort of attack would take down pretty much anything else." Mr Linford told the BBC that the attack was being investigated by five different national cyber-police-forces around the world. He claimed he was unable to disclose more details because the forces were concerned that they too may suffer attacks on their own infrastructure. The attackers have used a tactic known as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), which floods the intended target with large amounts of traffic in an attempt to render it unreachable. In this case, Spamhaus's Domain Name System (DNS) servers were targeted - the infrastructure that joins domain names, such as bbc.co.uk, the website's numerical internet protocol address. Mr Linford said the attack's power would be strong enough to take down government internet infrastructure. "If you aimed this at Downing Street they would be down instantly," he said. "They would be completely off the internet." He added: "These attacks are peaking at 300 gb/s (gigabits per second). "Normally when there are attacks against major banks, we're talking about 50 gb/s." Clogged-up motorway The knock-on effect is hurting internet services globally, said Prof Alan Woodward, a cybersecurity expert at the University of Surrey. "If you imagine it as a motorway, attacks try and put enough traffic on there to clog up the on and off ramps," he told the BBC. "With this attack, there's so much traffic it's clogging up the motorway itself." Arbor Networks, a firm which specialises in protecting against DDoS attacks, also said it was the biggest such attack they had seen. "The largest DDoS attack that we have witnessed prior to this was in 2010, which was 100 gb/s. Obviously the jump from 100 to 300 is pretty massive," said Dan Holden, the company's director of security research. "There's certainly possibility for some collateral damage to other services along the way, depending on what that infrastructure looks like." Spamhaus said it was able to cope as it has highly distributed infrastructure in a number of countries. The group is supported by many of the world's largest internet companies who rely on it to filter unwanted material. Mr Linford told the BBC that several companies, such as Google, had made their resources available to help "absorb all of this traffic". The attacks typically happened in intermittent bursts of high activity. "They are targeting every part of the internet infrastructure that they feel can be brought down," Mr Linford said. "Spamhaus has more than 80 servers around the world. We've built the biggest DNS server around." 'Decapitating the internet'

VPN Issues
This is another FAQ...
I can use my VPN to office via lan directly to ONT but not wifi... why??
Because you are using Private IP address... and myrepublic issues Private IP to protect U from bombing.... the 'double firewall' cause the VPN to fail as it does not know how to route....
Try this...
Go to your router IP..
http://192.168.1.1/Advanced_NATPassThrough_Content.asp (I presume it's 1.1 or 0.1 depending on your config)....
Check the Passthru connection type...
Some may work ...as this works for ASUS N56 .....

Teleport your service home
Teleport is the VPN customised & Optimised network within MyRepublic so you can watch Netflix, BBC , Sky Online.
What basically it does it optimise your connections to the US and EU with a US and UK IP Address so you don't need a VPN or what ever devices....
However, you will need a way to pay for the services.. one way is to use iTunes Gift Card which U can buy from EBAY or in the case of UK.....contact us for details.

One House... 2 Lines
Technically it is POSSIBLE as there has been cases where the home has been sub-let to other tenants and the customer don't want to share the lines for whatever reason.
Based on experience, the Fiber Termination Point can work with 2 fiber points and though it is NOT RECOMMENDED, there are cases where MIOTV (SingTEL) is on 2nd Port and the 1st port is used by M1 or MyRepublic or Starhub (since all uses Nucleus Connect HuaWei ONT device)
That is technically possible and you can even do load balancing to get the best of all worlds.
Cost wise: Probably that Singtel pays for the activation of the 2nd TP Point.....but hey..they already charged the customer $100 for the install fee anyway!

Open for Attack
So congratulations on your Fiber Optic Network Installation. You have reached the end of the High Speed Wireless Highway and plunging into the unknown. Your Maximum Speed is actually 70Mbps if you use 802.11N or WiFi-N and despite whatever claims it may have, you won't legally reach anywhere over that limit unless you are a hacker. (Ethernet / Communications Rules, Through output speed= Max Speed x 0.7 [Error Corrections etc] divided by 2 [Full Duplex] at the distance of 3meters)
So technically you are still getting anywhere better than SingTel's ADSL+ or Cable Connection of M1 or Starhub services but do you know that you are so susceptible to wireless hacking?
I am a real time hacker. I have to do penetration tests every now and then and for your information, the culprit is the button on your router for Wireless Protected Setup or WPS, and in layman terms, "Lazy Bugger who do not wish to enter the long password" as you only need to press that button and you are authenticated to the network.
WPS however, is not secure. It has a simple 8 digit pin in which the first 4 is encoded and the last 2 are check digits, something like your IC Number where the first 2 are your year, followed by your citizen class (Born Singaporean, Foreign Born, PR, Convict, Undercover Police etc) and then the serial number and a check alphabet (A-J & Z).
That number DO NOT CHANGE unless you disable or modd the Router. Why it's so dangerous? Because Google has a codec called REAVER which is used with Wifi crackerjacks such as AirCrack-NG and such free software (built into Linux) that once that number is cracked... how many times you change your password does not matter since the WPS key is the same.. something like your super master key.
Initial key stress testing takes usually 6 - 10 hours to crack ONE SINGLE Router in sequence and usually a hacker will crack 3 - 6 routers in a go. Even if you do not broadcast your SSID, it will still come out...as radio waves will be transmitted and someone will listen.
So what can you do?? Get a secured Router with that WPS PIN DISABLED.
Unfortunately for many, SINGTEL's router are nearly CRACKER JACK PROOF. The 5012 uses WEP and password is usually 13 numbers or 13 ALPHANUMERIC KEYS with ALL CAPS LOCK making it super hard to crack, ( 36 to the power of 13 combinations or 170 Billion Billion Combinations ). Those white ones are also harder to crack too so don't waste your time...
That is hard coded and a PAIN IN THE BACKSIDE. It's made by some China Company... but it's useful.
Just a cap..which ones are simple to crack includes TPLINK, DLINK, ASUS, EnGenius and those cheapo ones....
Good luck
