AAISP's Christmas Gift....

Looks like AAISP are giving customers unmetered bandwidth during the holiday period.

Now if iDNet were to do the same, I'm sure their largesse would be gratefully appreciated

Saying that, considering how much AAISP charge, they may well be able to afford to give that away

Good point Gary

I've always thought their prices were not particularly competitive. As justification they push the idea they can reach parts of BT that others can't, but I've never been wholly convinced.

Nice gesture though

It is a nice gesture, and one that you will never see from the big ISP's

It's a nice gesture.

Rik · Dec 17, 2009, 15:30:13

It is...

David · Dec 17, 2009, 16:16:59

Pass

Rik · Dec 17, 2009, 16:23:05

Got a date yet, David?

David · Dec 17, 2009, 16:28:32

No not yet I have recieved log in etc but no date for the changeover,thats why I got a new router but I have others to use if the changeover comes first.

I saw the FREE gift before getting the code...and it didn't impress me

why

bobleslie · Dec 17, 2009, 17:19:12

Well, it put a wider smile on my face.

David · Dec 17, 2009, 17:24:12

Not as wide as me

David · Dec 17, 2009, 17:51:03

By the short and curlys... that's brilliant actually better than I could have expected

David · Dec 17, 2009, 17:57:44

Wonder If I can have my old Email back...I can use office mail again or whatever its called

Rik · Dec 17, 2009, 18:03:59

Probably, I doubt it's been repatriated yet, phone or email support.

Having worked for an ADSL ISP, the Christmas period is usually slack, with most business customers generating little or no network traffic. Watching the throughput stats, you can see the usage ramp down as you approach Christmas Day, and ramp up again following New Year.

Rik · Dec 18, 2009, 18:16:57

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I think that's why A&A and IDNet feel able to make this gesture. It's good for residential customers though.

Can I have a pedant point, too? It's "Cead mille failte". (I might even hazard a guess that you know Welsh, as "ceud" would have the same pronunciation in Welsh.)

David · Dec 18, 2009, 20:16:15

from the quietest one here

Like most Gaelic written in unaccented English, there's a variety of spellings in use, for example:

I'd believe that little green men from Mars were living next door, sooner than that Rik had it wrong all this time!
