It's a great deal

Is it? probably only good for a year then its not a good deal when the full year costs kick in. Don't get me wrong, for those wanting to pay extra for good customer service then I can see the attraction but not everyone has that at the top of their priority list.

It’s a 12 month contract with no installation fees, no addition price increases ( just the listed offer) and at the end of the 12 months you know what you’d be paying if you continued with them.

This is unlike most of the other operators who’s special offers aren’t really what they seem.

Other than their customer service which I have already acknowledged is very good, then there is nothing really special about what they provide. If after a year you are happy at paying £42 a month for a 150Mbps over the Openreach network compared to a lot cheaper else where then that is a personal decision.

From what I can make of it, the 'no price increases' only covers the contract term and not out of contract prices. Perhaps this could be clarified? Obviously the 'no in contract price rises' excludes the in contract price rise after 6 months. Which is clearly better than the previous 3 months.

I have been with Aquiss for nearly 4 years. My monthly price was reduced whilst I was in my minimum term contract and it hasn’t risen since. Clearly, if Aquiss was to increase its monthly price then this might tempt me to look at what other providers are offering.

I don’t believe that any ISP now offers a fixed price for ever. Zen, I know, has withdrawn its offer for new contracts.

Effectively yes. But apart from what is effectively an introductory offer, 'in' and 'out of' contract prices are the same and whenever there is a price rise, you would be free to move and avoid the price rise. And you avoid the annual dance of a new contract, where the cheap price you might pay is carved into by a retentions department rather than decent customer services.

For me, the static iPv4 address and a static /56 of IPv6 are key, although I admit not everyone cares about those.

I have the 300/50 package at £45, and I think the price is reasonable for the quality of service I get. I would take this over 900/110 from the likes of BT any day.

I had forgotten about the static IPs which is extremely important to some so glad you have reminder me about that

^This I would jump to FTTP 300/50 once it become available! But not sure if it will give me 6 months half price moving from SoGEA 80/20 to FTTP 300/50 as it because it say new customer only. Maybe Martin will answer this.
