aaisp charge by the unit For £27.98 a month including fftc rental, the base price package includes 2 units to start with.

Thats equivalent to:
4GB peak usage (9am-6pm Mon-Fri)
OR
200GB off-peak usage (6pm-9am and Weekends) 0.1 of a unit is used per 10 gigs
OR
2000GB Night usage (2am-6am everyday) 0.01 of a unit is used per 10 gigs

Upstream is not counted.

Each additional unit you buy ((£3 )will provide either an extra 2GB Peak usage, 100GB off-peak usage, or 1000GB night usage

How much is 300gig anytime on aaisp?

The 300gig from BT isnt technically anytime though is it???

Do BT not have some term which basically says please do heavy using in off peak hours?
I know its certainly the case for P2P.

If you start downloading 4 or 8gig files during busy periods and doing it regular will that be fine? Somehow i imagine right now it may be but once a few people start the FUP will change.

The post does say "We will continue to monitor this policy." I imagine thats for the bad and good.

Also i can see no option on AAISP site to even allow you to have 300gig during peak hours on a home FTTC connection anyway. Then again i dont think their pricing and the way they do it is the clearest in the world, but that could just be me.

very true capertburn . plus the support i got from aaisp do with my complex questions they were very helpful and it is in england not likes bt`s support whos is overseas !

yep you could download 300 gigs peak on aaisp BUT at 10 gigs a day it would be £30 a day(£900 for month !! ) if you used from 9am to 6pm

Yeah seem like a good company, i just wish they made the pricing more simple, too many drop down options etc, confuses an old so and so like me. Units and gigs....... Its like decimalisation all over again. Can see their idea and its good in theory but you have to look through and read a few times to grasp it all.

Id sit down and examine your usage and what you need per month... If you dont need anywhere near 300gig and what you do need is affordable from AAISP go with them.
Id like more evidence that 300gig is true before running to BT (but thats my personal thoughts, what BT support workers state can not always be taken for gospel).

Your other options (depending on your line speed/quality) are ADSL2+ or LLU services if your exchange has them, though if you are a distance from the exchange and want speed they probably wont suit.

I was leaning towards AASIP for FTTC before they changed there system, finally going for BT as most of my usage is 9am-6pm at present, as you point out AAISP would have been rather an expensive option.

?
The system has been in place since the beginning of the year. I think that was well before FTTC was available with any ISP.

All they have done is add FTTC to the selection and price lists.

Hi RobertoS,

I know, I moved ISP and to FTTC in late March. Before then I was considering a move from Demon to AASIP but decided I would not get any improvement in speed.
