^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.

Pure Fibre 330 is £22.50 for 6 months rising to £45 from month 7.


Pure Fibre 550 is £25 for 6 months rising to £50 from month 7. I opted for 550

You forgot

- once the half price period has finished pay a lot more per month than other providers.

😎

Do I?

I decided to check out BT one of the main providers, this is their deal:

500Mbps
download speed

73Mbps upload

£45.99
a month

From 31 March 2026 - £48.99

12 Month cost (12 x £45.99) = £551.88

Aquiss offer £25 x 6 Months (£150) + £50 x 6 months (£300) = £450

Then it's £1.01 per month MORE expensive with Aquiss!

is that a lot more with Aquiss?

So a total of £405 per year which is the equivalent to £33.75 per month over the 1 year contract

Chris as long as you're happy paying what you're paying 😎

You also need to factor in a free router if that is important to you. Aquiss does not provide any routers.

I look at the BB market from time to time and so far I have not found a deal which will tempt me away. I am happy with my router/mesh set up and over the past 4 years (nearly), Aquiss has provided a connection that is both robust and of good quality. That said, I did have a week’s outage when BTW placed a cease order on my line. Any ISP that uses BTW would have struggled to get a reconnection as was the case with Aquiss. (BTW as a wholesaler is not subject to OFCom oversight/regulation).

My daughter is with EE and she uses its provided hub. She intends to move when her contract ends in 3 months’ time.

I thought I would go and fact check the accuracy of your post as I know some try to dabble with the facts to suit their claims and found the following for a 24 month BT contract compared to 2 x 12 month contract for Aquiss with the initial 6 month half price deal.

500Mbps download speed

BT

Initially £39.99 a month then from 31 March 2026 - £42.99

Cost (12 x £39.99) + (12 x £42.99) = £995.76

Aquiss

Initially £25.00 for 6 months then rising to £50.00

Cost (6 x £25.00) + (18 x £50) = £1050.00

Conclusion

Aquiss over the 24 month period is £54.24 MORE expensive.

Looking at the 900Mbps/ 12 month offer. The difference is a 1p/month in BT's favour; however, Aquiss comes out on top because of its 6 months at half price.

Aquiss would also win over 24 months as there are no annual or end-of-contract price rises.

BT

Initially £44.99 a month then from 31 March 2026 - £47.99

Aquiss
