Just ahead of Halloween, New Zealand’s first fibre internet

World’s First Internet Ready Coffin

Our internet is so unlimited, you can take it to the grave.

Friday 7 October 2016, Auckland

Just ahead of Halloween, New Zealand’s first fibre internet provider MyRepublic has created the world’s first internet ready coffin.

The MyRepublic Coffin is the ultimate in online luxury, fitted with the best internet access for this world – and the next. TheMyRepublic Coffin comes fully pimped with a PS4, HDTV, surround sound system and a MyRepublic high-speed router which enables a fast ‘net connection.

MyRepublic Managing Director, Vaughan Baker says the coffin illustrates the lengths MyRepublic will go to to ensure New Zealanders receive internet without limits.

“In the great Kiwi tradition of not taking ourselves too seriously, the MyRepublic Coffin is a way of showing we’re so dedicated to delivering high speed fibre internet that we know no limits. In fact our internet connections are so fast people will want to take it where ever they go – even to the grave!”

MyRepublic’s Singapore and New Zealand operations mean it has the most gigabyte customers in Asia Pacific. MyRepublic is drawing on this experience to roll out UFB in New Zealand and in late September was the first ISP to connect Aucklanders to a gigabit connection. It is now connecting people to UFB throughout the country.

“We want local businesses and consumers to be able to access UFB and particularly gig services to ensure more Kiwis can take advantage of the digital economy”, Vaughan Baker says.

“We’re a creative nation and access to world leading UFB allows more people to join the revolution – which ultimately will mean more jobs and economic growth. And we haven’t even touched on the entertainment benefits for people gaming and streaming.”

Baker says MyRepublic aim to have as many Kiwis as possible on a gig connection and therefore it is automatically upgrade its 200Mbps customers throughout New Zealand to a 1000Mbps gig plan for no additional cost as soon the gig is available to their neighbourhood.

The MyRepublic Coffin will be out and about throughout New Zealand for punters to ‘test’ during October. The promotion will culminate in a challenge for a ZM listener to spend Halloween watching scary movies in the coffin; promoted by street posters encouraging people to “face swap with a corpse” and share it on snap chat.
