UPDATE AAISP UK Launch Trial of New Home Broadband ISP Package

Business focused UK ISP Andrews and Arnold (AAISP) has called for a small number of its existing customers to help test a simplified new broadband package that has been specifically designed for home users (aka – Home::1).

The new Home::1 (ADSL2+) service adopts a simpler pricing model than AAISP’s other packages, which should make it significantly easier to comprehend than their usual mass of jargon filled but highly customisable options for the technically minded crowd.

Adrian Kennard, Director of ISP Andrews & Arnold, said:

“What we have been very keen to do is ensure the service is the same high quality we always provide, with the same level of monitoring and technical support and control. And, of course, IPv6 addresses, which is one reason it is called Home::1.”

Home::1 – Key Features (£25 inc. VAT a month)
◦ 25GB of data usage (downloads).
◦ No limit on uploads (only the download is metered).
◦ No automatic extra charging, so no risk – simple top-up option (£10 for each extra 50GB).
◦ Clear simple pricing for a range of useful add-ons.
◦ Block of IPv6 addresses statically assigned (/48 per customer), and single static IPv4 address.
◦ Includes preconfigured WiFi router (ADSL or FTTC), or PPPoE DSL bridging router (ADSL lines) and filter or modem lead.
◦ Includes the same level of control and monitoring as our standard services, including CQM graphs.
◦ UK tech support, 9-5 Mon-Fri, by phone, email, irc, and SMS.

Customers who pay an extra £10 per month will see their usage allowance boosted to 100GB (GigaBytes) and another £10 upgrade allows you to turn the service into a superfast broadband (FTTC) package with download speeds of up to 40Mbps (10Mbps uploads). Various other speed upgrades are also offered.

The ISP hopes to launch its new tariff by Christmas.
