But then if AAISP were as cheap as everyone else they would be more popular and support would go downhill there too.

Its why on some level I wish Zen were less competitiveas it makes their margins tighter and tighter plus the bigger they get, the closer they are to being forced to follow the stupid court-ordered blocks.

Good point Alex  :baby:

Noted a post today from "jelv" which says quite a lot for Zen's technical support service.
Issue reported:
https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,26888.msg450950.html#msg450950

Issue resolved:
https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,26888.msg450962.html#msg450962

The time scale between reporting and resolution in this case can't be faulted!

Ironically I'am on my last day with Zen BB FTTC & phone service, FTTP install with BT due tomorrow.
Was tempted away from Zen to BT with their current FTTP + phone offer on 18 month contract, due to a number of install delays, all be it with OR which would likely have occured with any ISP, hopefully the install will actually happen tomorrow. :fingers:
As always, will certainly review my options for next contract period and Zen will likely still be high on my list.

Edit: Typo correction.

Should that one occurrence of FTTP actually be FTTC?  ???

Out of curiosity; how do you know if you are on TT or BTw with Zen? I recently moved to FTTC (having come from VM) so having to readjust to the speed drop  :)

It used to tell you in their customer control panel but for the majority of customers it no longer does.

A tracert might give an indication of the backhaul provider.
