Broadband ISP Aquiss Introduce Multi Gigabit UK CityFibre Plans for Businesses
Shropshire-based UK ISP Aquiss has today announced that they’ve expanded their range of CityFibre based Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) packages by introducing symmetric speeds of up to 2.5Gbps for business customers (they already had some of these for residential subscribers).
All of Aquiss’ business packages are supplied with unlimited usage, true static IPv4 and IPv6 assignments as standard and have no in-contract price rises. Next Business Working Day SLAs ensure quicker fix times. All options also come with their highly rated UK support and are based upon a 12-month contract.
The first 3 months of service also come at a 50% discounted price.

Crazy as CityFibre lots cheapest than Openreach for both 2.2Gbps down and up while Openreach the slowest 900Mbps down and 100Mbps up

Have you seen the wholesale cost of Openreach?
Isn’t part of the reason something to do with the contention ratio (or whatever the fttp equivalent is)?
I heard CF is 1:64 whereas OR is 1:32 PON split
CF is a 1:32 split. VM is a 1:64.
CF move you to 1:64 as part of the xgspon upgrade (even gpon users get 1:64)
@N – CityFibre are 1:32 on GPON and 1:64 on XGS-PON today, where both are on the same fibre those ratios are maintained. They do not have any GPON customers on 1:64 splits.
They have also built their split flexibly (multiple splitters not a single 1:32) so they can move to lower split ratios if needed in future.
Aquiss availability checker might need an improvement? I was able to get to the point I can submit an order for XGS-PON when my area is GPON only, or maybe this is a new thing and it would trigger a XGS-PON upgrade for the area?
It’s a problem via the source data we are getting from Cityfibre. Their database’s are a bit of a mess in places.
I’ll be straight onto this as soon as CityFibre manage to connect our FEX to their national network
