Wow, not capped? Nice. I thought it it capped at 200 Mbps.Hi all,
I’ve done a review video of AA’s L2TP VPN service which I started using recently after suddenly being put on CGNat with no option for static IPv4 and no IPv6.
Very impressed with the service and performance as you will see in the video the upload speed is not capped!
It is capped. As far as I can see he is on Domestic plan which is capped to 400Mb/s and 5TB/month. For the same price of £10/month you can have VPS in OVH without a monthly cap and 500Mb/s speed. For sure there are cheaper options elsewhere.Wow, not capped? Nice. I thought it it capped at 200 Mbps.
Big fan of A&A, I'd love to be able to get some FTTP from them (in some distant future).
The upload is unlimited, download is as advertised.It is capped. As far as I can see he is on Domestic plan which is capped to 400Mb/s and 5TB/month. For the same price of £10/month you can have VPS in OVH without a monthly cap and 500Mb/s speed. For sure there are cheaper options elsewhere.
However Netflix can recognize OVH IP as VPN proxy and disallow you to watch their crap content![]()
it is a 5TB monthly usage cap which could concern some geeks, for instance me - uploading/downloading backups and doing other weird things: https://ibb.co/K9NfS5QThe upload is unlimited, download is as advertised.
Yeah, a&a being an actual isp with "residential" ip ranges goes a long way towards avoiding the usual vpn issues.

Yes OVH you going through a different country and anyone with sane security will block you from using their streaming service.It is capped.

No similarity between what OVH are offering and an AAISP L2TP connection (/48 IPv6 block + /29 IPv4 block of addresses) for 10 GBP per month.AAISP you getting a consumer IP block.
At current OVH pricing, the IP block alone is pricy, treated like gold dust now.No similarity between what OVH are offering and an AAISP L2TP connection (/48 IPv6 block + /29 IPv4 block of addresses) for 10 GBP per month.
The 5TB monthly bandwidth limit is irrelevant for *most* users when you understand the value of a whole bunch of static addresses for not a lot of money
Is that value going beyond of your limited imagination? Imagine (for a while) that you have kids doing two 4k streams at a time and or downloading gigs of games/updates while you watching third stream. Then some content served from your VMs and offsite backups running. I didn't say everyone is doing that and 5TB will not be sufficient for them.your <geekpower> is strong, to put that into context ..

OVH has their DC in UK too and I used it only as an example you guys stick to. There are other options often cheaper than £10/month and without limits.Yes OVH you going through a different country and anyone with sane security will block you from using their streaming service.
AAISP you getting a consumer IP block.
Also wondering what you doing if 5TB is considered a meaningful limit to you.
of course you don't have to, until you realize your CGNAT IP used by thousand of other people is being blocked for some reason or you need to pass the Captcha.You obviously don't have to shove everything through the tunnel, so the 5TB is likely to be plenty if it's just to make a Plex library accessible or to have a static IP to connect to certain destinations with.
/29 IPv4 is business plan with 10TB cap which changes a lot and yes 5TB is more than enough for most people and this is what I said initially.No similarity between what OVH are offering and an AAISP L2TP connection (/48 IPv6 block + /29 IPv4 block of addresses) for 10 GBP per month.

Did you get the business plan or did you pay extra for the /29 on the domestic tariff?View attachment 9007
/32 static IPv4 + /29 static block IPv4 ... on domestic tariff.
Just ask, that's how exceptional A&A service is..
