Aquiss don't supply a router, though I think they have a couple they recommend, I already have an Apple Airport Extreme so I don't need another router. I may end up going to Infinity purely on the cost. It is only around 7 quid more than I pay Be, whereas Aquiss are just over double so getting a bit hard to justify it really. Even if I go to infinity i would use the Airport Extreme in preference to the home hub .

I'm sorry to hear that your swaying towards BT Infinity.They do indeed have a very competitive market position in the retail sector. I'm sure that if we were competing like for like (lower entry products), then our products would be inline, however we do aim at slightly different sectors. Our customers rightly expect high standards which they feel they can get from ourselves.

It's quite correct we don't provide a router, however in the vast majority of cases (we have only had 1 exception) customers have current ADSL2+ routers than can be flipped into PPPoE, thus the requirement of another router tends not to be required.

I do think you could have chosen a different metaphor to have made your point.................one that would not have needed censor avoidance.

Fair cop!

it has now been announced that the 300gb fup has now been taken away, it is now unlimited, they no longer slow your connection at 300gb limit.

but they do traffic shape until mid night unless you use other sources such at newsgroups may be unlimited usuage but not very flexiable with its users

I thought that wasn't till April, and even then on a rollout basis? Or is yours new news? If so, have you a link please?

yeah sorry it happens in april but thats only 2 weeks away, it was posted on the thinkbroadband main page that all option 2 users will not see there speed reduced due to the 300gb limit, even if they do traffic shape it dosent make too much difference as people i know dont see much of a reduction during peak hours which could just be peak traffic anyway, newsgroups do max out i believe too, makes bt by far the best option for heavy users.

Know of a more flexible ISP for 25 quid a month?

Hrmm, that's one of the two stumbling blocks I had against BT Infinity. My next question would be as the only provider *NOT* offering a static IP, is it actually likely to change once you get an IP allocated.

I host a couple of small websites and my own mail server so I'd rather not play chase the IP, or fiddle with dynamic DNS services.
