[This on-going discussion has been split off from the original news item.]

Fair play they continue to be the most attractive ISP to tenants (not the 2-3 year contracts).

Now awaiting news of cityfibre with AAISP.

Across all isp's VDSL prices are now effectively a tax for using old tech.  This hasnt changed on AAISP, e.g. comparing that 115mbps package with 80/20 on VDSL, same upload speed, access speed is assured and lower price.

Doesn't that kinda make sense though?  It costs more to maintain the older technology so its disproportionately expensive compared to fibre.

It does it represents the cost.  I meant more akin to a legacy cost tax rather than a profit tax.

As Chrysalis says, AA over CityFibre would be a very good thing. Are you listening Andrew, Adrian?

They've been looking at this for a while. In common with other smaller operators they've been waiting for the national product.

Be interesting to see if they pull the trigger. I can't say I really get the point of A&A over FTTP but obviously mileage will vary.

"Hello you are through to Wendy at BT support"
"Hi I noticed my ipv6 prefix changed, I thought IPv6 addressing was enough to avoid this nonsense"
"Sorry can you repeat that"
"Sure ..."
"Ok please go to your home hub, and look for the button with this ... symbol, press it, then wait 5 seconds, and press it again, this should fix it."

After escalation.

"Yes sir, we cannot manage our network in a way to give static allocations, so your prefix will change from time to time, also please dont bother our agents with this, if you can reach google, the service is working to an adequate standard".

I'm not going to belabour the point on this one

I suppose the obvious would be to note that while A&A now offer this service no-one is forced to use them: other options are always available and will suit the vast majority better.
