ISP Reviews by paul.sherry

Really pleased with AAISP so far.

We live in a rural community in Cheshire - only 25 mins from central Manchester and 35 mins from central Liverpool so not exactly dark side of the moon. However there are only 400 subscribers on our exchange and BT have effectively point blank refused to upgrade the exchange despite being offered money to do it.

Have tried BT broadband (lucky to get 0.5 to 1 Mbps when it worked, and spent hours wasting my time on phone to BT helpline when it didn't), satellite broadband with Bentley Walker (works ok from time to time but not much good when x,000 people try to use the same satellite in the evening) and 4G with EE (again could get 20Mbps from time to time, but would frequently drop connection and would have to log back in).

A friend recommended AAISP. I was sceptical, but what was to lose? Registered on their Home 1 service and instantly got email acknowledging the order as well as text (presumably from BT Openreach) letting me know they were activating broadband. The router arrived in the post within a few days and then got text to let me know broadband active on the line.

I was planning to set some time aside to get system working but had 30 mins free one evening and gave it a go. Plugged it in and within 5 mins all the lights had gone green and it seemed we were good to go. To be honest - amazed.

Got 2Mbps right away and ran a speed check with AA's own checked a week later and getting about 5 to 6 Mbps - despite BT saying the max I could get on the line was about 3.

I am well impressed. If speed is maintained then I am going to reactive my other BT line, get BB on that and bet AA to bond together.

Well done Andrews and Arnold
