AAISP’s 80Mbps Home Broadband with 1TB Usage Cap Now Available

Andrews and Arnold (AAISP) has officially made their new Home::1T broadband package available to order, which combines an ‘up to’ 80Mbps FTTC (VDSL2) connection with a monthly data allowance of 1 TeraByte (1000 GigaBytes) and line rental for a single cost of £60 per month.

The package was first unveiled at the end of December 2015 (here) and it now has its own official page on AAISP’s website (here), although the service clearly isn’t for everybody and is perhaps intended more for existing subscribers who could be seeking greater usage flexibility.

Home::1T Package Details
* VDSL speeds capped to 80Mb/s download and 20Mb/s upload
* 1000GB monthly download allowance (speeds drop to 3Mbps after exceeding 1TB)
* Data usage on uploads is not metered
* Line rental included
* Includes Openreach engineer installed VDSL modem, but no router (ISP supplied for £25).
* Includes 1 WAN IPv4 address and a block of IPv6 addresses
* 12 month contract

PRICE: £60 inc. VAT per month

Unfortunately the package lacks some flexibility, which can at times result in even existing AAISP subscribers having to pay extra charges to cease their line. It’s hoped that problems like this may be ironed out in the future, but right now the package is intended for a very particular type of user and not the budget conscious crowd.

On the other hand the monthly price isn’t that far off BT and Sky’s top ‘up to’ 76Mbps unlimited FTTC service, which increases to almost £50 once you add in the cost of line rental. Most people who adopt an “unlimited” package may never use 1 TeraByte of data in a month, although big video game downloads and 4K streaming are starting to test that.
