ISP Aquiss Discounts FTTP Broadband Switches for 4 Months

UK ISP Aquiss has launched a new offer for consumers who already have an Openreach based Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband ONT or active line installed in their property, which offers free activation (saving £100) and a large discount on the first 4 months of service (starting from £5 a month) if you migrate to them.

As usual new customers can expect to receive unlimited usage, a 12 month minimum contract term, 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 don’t include a wireless router in with their service (i.e. you have to use an existing one or buy a new router).

The reason for not mentioning new installations above is because Openreach (BT) has effectively stopped most of those during the current COVID-19 crisis (here), although switching between FTTP ISPs on the same network does not require an engineer to enter your property and so can still proceed. Otherwise the discounts work out as follows:

Pure Fibre – Option 1 (36Mbps Down / 1.7Mbps Up)
PRICE: £5 a month for 4 months (£30 thereafter)

Pure Fibre – Option 2 (36Mbps Down / 7.5Mbps Up)
PRICE: £7 a month for 4 months (£32 thereafter)

Pure Fibre – Option 3 (72Mbps Down / 17Mbps Up)
PRICE: £9 a month for 4 months (£34 thereafter)

Pure Fibre – Option 4 (145Mbps Down / 26Mbps Up)
PRICE: £31 a month for 4 months (£56 thereafter)
