I don't know what package you're on, but for your current usage, £26 per month seems a bit steep.

I am on basic Simon cant go any lower my next will be in soon so I will see, I may not have an option if it leaps up,it is a little confusing to be honest and I may have it wrong but considering I don't do very much at all apart from being here and sending the odd Email I am a very light user indeed I don't even use you tube that often except again on here,I would expect a little more for that amount of money

I ask myself what is the advantage of AAISP over IDNet. I do recall you had severe line issues which I thought were BT related when you left Idnet. If this is now corrected surely you can look elsewhere? I would not be able cope even with a daytime limit of 4Gb and conversely it doesn't matter how much off peak you give me I would never use it.

Hi Steve I had hoped that my move over here would solve my problem which stemmed as we all know from the great switch-over.I have had my service albeit a slower speed than I enjoyed with IDNet I used to enjoy 5,500 speeds with very few disconnections.I do get almost daily disconnections here this has been blamed on  BT and it is as far as I know.
I can look elsewhere that is the joy of a 30 day contract but I don't want to change every few months and I don't use that much its just this pricing structure by the looks of it may just work out as being in effect,in my case at least a price hike.
In an ideal situation I would return to IDNet.
I think as with many things with me I need to look into the subject of downloads in more detail I guess I have not enough knowledge to even guess at what 4 GB is in terms of usage and I freely admit this.I am not grumbling either in any way just trying to get to the bottom line of this.

The line is fine now as far as I am aware and LLU is staring me in the face and yes I can get it my local exchange is enabled...... ???
Better go and do some more homework..................not having a good day

I have just replied to them to see if my speeds will improve for this extra money,In theory they should not however I do know the line can manage 5.500 and I no longer get this and this service boasts of up to 24 MG down and 8mg up I know this cannot happen but the reply might be interesting...It must sound like a dumb question but somewhere there is method in this





The speed would stay the same unfortunately. The premium option helps
improve the upload speed though:

I have been uncomfortable with this new plan and keeping a close on my log,and bearing in mind I do not download anything really and to date always underused.It bothered me enough for me to ask a question on the matter and I got the reply back with my usage.

Below is what you have used in the past 4 months including October.

Oct 2009         1.90G
Sep 2009         2.62G
Aug 2009         2.81G
Jul 2009         798M
Looking at the above figures I would even recommend transferring to the
pro4GB/100GB tariff

That would put my monthly bill up by around £6.00 which is not a problem in itself but that's quite a leap  ???


I'm slightly confused, as the way I read the above is that that you are a very light user, yet they are recommending that you go on a more expensive package.  Seems like false logic to me.  :dunno:

:wtf:  would be mine.  :dunno:

If you were still with IDNet, you'd be paying £17.61 per month, for 40Gb (assuming ADSL2+), which is split 10Gb peak, and 30Gb off-peak.  Even on Max, you would still get 5Gb for the same price.  We know IDNet are not the cheapest provider, and I can't honestly figure what could warrant a monthly cost of £26, going by your average usage.  I know you have an increased off-peak allowance (100Gb?), and I guess they have to cover the costs of people maxing out that availability, but I don't get why they are recommending a more expensive package for you, with your usage, David.  Maybe I'm missing something, or perhaps you have confused things yourself, but it doesn't make much sense to me, as it appears above. 

:dunno:

This is what rubbed salt in Simon it seems because of the change I have been halved on a meagre limit anyway,just sent an Email asking for explanation and you guessed it I am not amused

If I could get my old speed back I would return like a shot or even equal to this crowd......I have been looking again at Be but god knows why I just don't fancy them

I will see what their reply is its possible Einstein could get confused with this method but we will see  :dunno:

I don't think you can ever get your old MAX sync back, David. In fact, the only posinle way to get a higher speed would be to move to someone such as Be as that would mean a physical change at the exchange.

Yes I  am awaiting to see what the reply is but as much as I am reticent to go down this road I may have to hit the migration button on my account I think speed will improve with Be.....have been looking and I could get Be Pro for this money.
If this does work out as a confusing for me but money for them I will have no alternative.

I should have added that  the increase in upload speed is only anybreal benefit if you regularly send or upload big files. Normal day to day browsing won't be any different.

Thanks Lance no I seldom upload anything of any great size.....I think I am bothered a little by the Be Box and I would like not to change isps every so often I just like my BB to be there and run without all this nonsense.I have never had to worry about downloads before now and I don't think I ever went over when I was with IDNet this new tariff seems to be loaded but I could be wrong but as I have not changed my surfing habits it speaks for itself...we will see I know there are a few disgruntled users at this new system  :(

Indeed looking at your usage it's quite clear you are only a light user, and the £18 Idnet package would be more than sufficient for your needs without you needing to worry about how much allowence
you've used at what time of day etc. Certainly I don't think for your level of usage I could justify £26!
