I've used Aquiss FTTP, no complaints. They are white labeling Entanet/CityFibre ISP. My understanding the half price discount is funded by 'marketing' budget from one of their suppliers, for new customers only. Aquiss don't supply a 'free' router. Other ISPs may offer a 'free' router, but obviously has to be paid for some how, in the monthly price maybe?
yeah, I think you're right, the owner said he was willing to 'up' the price haha, as I enquired
“is it unlimited or metered? as it's such a good deal?" he-he
I've signed up as BT could not match £41 a month
(average for the 1st year) for 12 months
(£55 a year after that - which is BT's 'starting' price) - I'm now paying BT almost £70 a month after 24 months because of CPI increases!, Aquiss has no yearly CPI increase!! the price stays the same, and no charges for 'upgrading' and just a small charge to downgrade, all done and dusted, all the reviews I read are raving, and most are long term users! (20 years etc) that says a lot!
for VDSL, Plusnet was the ISP of choice for me. Sky second place.
Hopefully this will be my new home for FTTP, BT was good, I have to admit, only twice in 2 years did it degrade to 600 (High Radial Count) - once i had to call
(45 minute wait) to get it sorted and was done within 24 hours, the 2nd time it was auto-sorted within days!! = so hats off to BT, I just fancy something a bit more 'technical' now... you seem to get more technical data with them.
I used to be with an Entanet re-seller years back, cant remember its name, but it was good, it had usage limits but the 24Mbit speed was always there, I remember the term "lighting candles" as 'adding bandwidth'.
Anyway It's good to hear from another Aquiss user with another positive review, the 2-3 negative ones I found I deduced from the convo/remarks that the issue was the customer's lack of knowledge, not the service itself.
