My migration to aaisp from Zen was completed today. I was on Zens legacy 1meg service. Now i'm synced at 4256 kbps and getting download speed of 400k/s or so. So i've very pleased.
One thing tho i notice if i do a whois lookup on my new aaisp ip my full name is in the results. I really dont like the thought of people being able to get my full name that easy. Can i get this changed?
I think i've found where i can change it in the Broadband members area. But it says
"The following details are published in RIPE. If you are an individual and not a business then you can choose to leave some entries blank. You should only include VALID contact details here and not make up details.
And "Name Firstname then surname of natural/real person"
So am i aloud to change it from my real name to say "Blackmesa8"?
It still shows up. I guess there slower in updating than ripe themselves.
I'm sure it will update there soon too, and be gone
Thanks again for your quick support.
It has gone from http://whois.domaintools.com/ too now. No mention of my name anywhere todo with my ip. And i must say 2nd day on aaisp and its still amazing. Everything is so speedy and loads instantly
I'm interested if your pings stay lower and remain consistent with AAisp Blackmesa.
After your feedback on the Zen TB subforum I've been checking AAisp out and think I may be able to save some pennies on the 2gb Pro package at £20.50 especially after realising that includes VAT.
As long as the connection remains a quality connection "Off peak" when the greater allowance is available and when I play online the product could serve me well.
Although I believe AAISP don't implement traffic shaping/throttling i wouldn't like the idea that the network got "swamped" as soon as the generous allowance period started. From the face of it AAisp don't look to me as thougn they would attract the heavy user type customer, so I'm sort of assuming that they can be generous off peak because it's likely that most their business users have probably packed up for the day.
Anyway, I've got the Free version of NetLimiter monitoring just how much I do use. I know I use around 10-15GB a month, but I'm not sure what i use during AAisp's peak weekday period. So if I'm within the 2GB monthly usage and certainly with the 1 month minimum contract I might well give them a try.
