ISP Aquiss Finally Launch UK Ultrafast FTTP Broadband Package

Shropshire-based UK ISP Aquiss has today announced the launch of their first “ultrafast broadband” (100Mbps+) class package, which is based off Openreach’s (BT) rapidly growing Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network. Until now they only offered FTTP via the slower “superfast” tiers (max speeds of 40Mbps or 80Mbps).

The new ‘Pure Fibre – Option 4‘ package offers an average peak time download speed of 145Mbps (26Mbps upload) and costs £56 inc. VAT per month, although the first three months of service are being offered at a reduced price of £40 on a 12 month contract term. A £60 one-off activation fee for new installs is also charged.

As usual new customers can expect to receive unlimited usage, enhanced care, a static IPv4 address and static IPv6 addresses (/56). Being FTTP there’s no need for telephone line rental, although unlike a fair few other providers Aquiss doesn’t include a wireless router in with their service, but you can use an existing device (it’s wise to get one that can handle the connection properly with good WiFi etc.).
