AAISP Double TeraByte Home Broadband Package Allowance

UK ISP Andrews & Arnold (AAISP) has today announced that customers of their TeraByte home broadband packages (Home::1), which includes 1000GB (GigaBytes) of monthly usage, will see their usage allowance double to 2000GB (2 TeraBytes) from August 2018, at no extra cost.

Prices for the Home::1 2TB tariff, when also including copper line rental, typically start from £50 inc. VAT per month for ADSL and £60 for superfast VDSL2 (FTTC), while their FTTP tier costs £55 as this doesn’t require a copper line. You can also subtract -£10 from the ADSL and VDSL product prices if you don’t plan to take AAISP’s own line rental service (e.g. when getting your phone or copper line from another provider).

According to Ofcom the average superfast broadband customer in the United Kingdom gobbles 231GB (GigaBytes) per month, thus 2000GB should be more than enough for the majority of consumers.

A&A Statement

When we first launched our 1TB tariff, the idea was that it was meant to be ‘pretty much unlimited for most people’. Most of our customers don’t go over 1TB (1 terabyte) and the quota isn’t something they worry about.

However, usage patterns change, people watch more streaming video and download more. In an effort to keep to the original goal of the 1TB tariff, we’re happy to announce that from August 1st the 1TB Home::1 tariff will become 2TB/month. No change in cost, and the ‘quota bonus’ will still be applied.

Our order pages and web pages will be updated w/b 30th July. Customers ordering the 1TB tariff during July will be changed to 2TB on August 1st.

In similar fashion to their Home::1 2TB tariff increase, AAISP has also announced that from August 1st the existing 2TB SoHo::1 (business) tariff will become 5TB/month. No change in cost, this applies to existing and new customers.
