the FTTP was provided by openreach, for the first 6 months i had a dynamic public IP then they moved the connection to CGNAT, this causes me issues with working from home, i was told i could have a static ip then told it was unavailable as i was on an openreach connection.

I just want to be clear for anyone reading this (especially in a none threaded display) that we do not run our connections via CGNAT. The poster is referring to their previous provider.

Aquiss supply static IPv4 and IPv6, UK geoip located, IPs.

The problem is not Aquiss-related: I also experienced it when I was an AAISP customer. The problem is discussed at length in the Sky Community. The download often ‘stalls’ when there is a commercial break. More often than not the problem can be overcome by initiating a download from the Sky App to the Sky Box.

Never heard of anyone having CGNAT on the Openreach network, especially BT as the ISP

Not sure if anyone said that the ISP was BT?

Sorry, I haven't a clue why I said BT, thank you for pointing that out.

so my previous ISPs Points of presence was Redding, so my internet traffic when to my local exchange to reading and exited on to the internet, Openreach only provide the connection from my hose to the exchange and poped me on the ISPs backbone provider, they route the Traffic to Reading, and they use CGNAT in their network. the isp basically rents the connection from my house to the exchange, Openreach/BT was not my ISP and none of the internet traffic was routed via any other carrie but my ISP network.

With Aquiss i get a static IPV4 address and the Point of presence for me is London, but i live in the north of England close to the border with Scotland, and my internet traffic travels over the Aquiss network.

A reasonable number of ISPs deploy CGNAT across their networks these days, especially the newer ones who are only able to get a /24 of addresses from RIPE. Whether they are supplying across Openreach's network is not a factor in that as they only provide a physical (layer 2) connection to ISPs.

I don’t think that Aquiss has a network as such: it is/was an Entanet reseller. This often gets confused with CityFibre as described here in a post on another forum by Aquiss’ MD:

‘I was one of the founders of Entanet and through this I have a very long standing relationship with them. We have a broker leasing arrangement with them for quite a large slice of IPs. They have not helped matters recently however by rebranding all Entanet assets as CityFibre, confusing the lines.’

OK thanks, I will be more alert for ISP using CGNAT when switching providers in the future.

I was aware Aquiss is reselling but did feel the need to publicize it, my connection is exiting via LINX, I could be wrong but as far as I can tell Entarnet/Cityfiber is not routing my connection.
