I would also appreciated an insight from any Aquiss customer.

Most of our users tend to use our own inhouse forums or don't visit broadband forums much at all.

Happy to vouch for the quality of Xilo's services both from the service itself and the support which are both excellent.

I'm on the O2/BE package which saved me a couple of quid each month and has given me a very stable connection and imprroved speed.

Thank you for providing the insight into Xilo services and supports. Your signature shows that you have been with Xilo, both on the C&W wholesale on BE/O2 wholesale, what are the differences between them and why did you move from C&W to BE/O2?

I would also appreciated an insight from any Aquiss customer.

Thanks.

Your mileage may of course vary but I found that on C&W I found an increase in latency at higher speed due to my long line (it was running at 3.6 Meg down but the latency was 37 ms)

Xilo requested that interleaving be switched off and my speed dropped to 2.1 Meg, also the O2W package is about £3 cheaper per month (Pro 16 is currently 18 and Be is 15)

When I moved over my speed increased and latency stayed low so it appears the O2 line management is better on my particular line.

Hi,
We can also offer the same services, but ours have a 1 month contract and free connection.

Re Vivacity offering -

Hmmm...
When I put in my phone numbers ( work/home ) on your site, I don't see any BE related services offered anywhere on your site, though they seem to be listed under "Home" etc.

I presume these are the "Premium" "Broadband unlimited" offerings ? One with Annex M which is exactly what I have with BE

I don't see these, with my phone numbers, even though I am on Be Pro at home, and at work on those numbers (On nearby but different Rotherham exchanges.)

Hmm,
maybe the exchange has no spare ports or our checker is having a bad time as you are already on an O2 services, drop drop me a PM with the numbers and I can get them manually checked for you.

I was an Aquiss customer for around 3 years before I moved to O2 and all I can say is that the service provided by Martin and Aquiss was excellent. Aside from a small issue that they had with their billing system at the time (which I guess has been resolved...), I would recommend Aquiss without reservation.

Of course, now that O2 BB has been bought by Sky, I'm looking to move again and am comparing Aquiss to others...
