AAISP UK Launch New Broadband ISP Router and Contract Options

Internet provider Andrews & Arnold (AAISP) has complemented their existing 6 month contract terms by adding 1 and 12 month options, as well as free setup. On top of that the highly rated broadband ISP has also introduced a new router and you get this free on their 12 month term.

Customers who take out a 1 month term will still need to pay a £50 one-off setup fee, although this becomes free on both their 6 and 12 month terms. Anybody who needs a new copper pair installed (e.g. when moving into a new house) will still have to pay the usual £60 one-off install charge; assuming you’re buying broadband and line rental together.

Meanwhile the router now being supplied to new subscribers is the ZyXEL VMG3925-B10B, which is a welcome improvement on the old VMG1312-B10D that was previously being offered to customers. By comparison the VMG3925 adds four Gigabit Ethernet (LAN) ports and dual-band 802.11ac spec WiFi, among other things.
