StarHub's consumer business chief Matt Williams said the acquisition "gives us an opportunity to leverage the broader StarHub assets". For one thing, he said MyRepublic customers will shortly be offered discount bundles to Premier League subscriptions.

Mr Williams was speaking at the company's results briefing on Aug 14, two days after StarHub, which already held a 50.1 per cent stake in MyRepublic's broadband business since 2022, took over the remaining 49.9 per cent share.

A StarHub spokesman told The Straits Times that there are no immediate plans for any job cuts.

The spokesman said: "There are no immediate plans for team restructuring or changes to existing services following the acquisition. Our focus remains on delivering quality, reliability and seamless experiences for customers as we continue to align and strengthen the business."

Mr Williams said at the briefing: "We have worked with the MyRepublic broadband team for some time now. They do a great job at serving their customers in a really distinctive way, so we are going to give them the space and the encouragement to continue with that."

On ST's query on whether StarHub will throttle connection speeds for heavy users of MyRepublic broadband — a key concern raised by MyRepublic users — Mr Williams did not say what the company would do.
