It’s not that I don’t trust, but I want to understand. What is actually happening and how do these Repack thingies work?

And why are they called that 😂

Thanks in advance.

Edit: thanks so much for the replies all, I think I got it! :)

Repacks are only useful if your internet is from third world countries, like 100Mbps

In Europe repacks are useless

Edit: apparently Germany doesn't seem to have normal speeds

100Mbps is average affordable speed in Australia sadly. The pro big business political party here (LNP) sabotaged our nationwide fibre rollout commenced in 2007. It's taken this bloody long to finally begin undo the deliberate sabotage of our nation's broadband infrastructure done to benefit Rupert Murdoch & the incumbent monopolist Telco.
