With Vodafone I pay £12.50 / month for a package which includes up to 5G of data. The same with A&A at 2p / Megabyte would cost £100 just for the data, never mind any calls or texts.<br /><br />If A&A could come up with more realistically priced mobile data I'd be there like a shot. It doesn't need to be as cheap as the big players - I'm happy to pay a bit more for decent customer service - but the current difference is just too large.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17555396036856701009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-51321330311354222282017-10-13T12:46:23.026+01:002017-10-13T12:46:23.026+01:00Zen use Vod/C&W backhaul.

That just seems crazy given the difference between the costs of installing those two technologies.<br /><br />An even bigger annoyance is that BT are utterly dragging their heels when it comes to installing VSDL in Glasgow City Centre. They've plenty of excuses but I'm fairly certain the fact that they're worried they'll lose a lot of juicy business fibre customers is the reason. There is a *huge* bundle of BT fibres that come into the basement of our building but they won't sell us FTTP - but will, of course, quite happily sell a 10mbps fibre service at £3K+ install (to clip 20 metres of fibre to the wall!) and over £300/month on a multi-year contract...<br /><br />But, anyway - yes, I'm really like the changes you're making and the way you're doing things.

A big mistake IMO (BT's has much more stable latency and reliability) but the interesting thing is this:<br /><br />Your system is confused as to whether my minimum term is 6 months or 12 months. On my original order document from the account.aa.net.uk site it says that my minimum term is 6 months. But on the control.aa.net.uk site with live info, it shows my 'minimum term date' as being 363 days after my connection (ie. 1 year).<br /><br />I feel very much that, in the event of a dispute about this (not that I have that intention at the moment), the sales invoice specifying 6 months would count, as when conflicting terms are offered I believe the interpretation most favourable to the consumer counts (relics from Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations gone into S69(1) Consumer Rights Act).<br /><br />Anyway, just a quirk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-51108916170168283692017-10-05T21:36:58.291+01:002017-10-05T21:36:58.291+01:00I agree that there is not really any USP for SoHo ...I agree that there is not really any USP for SoHo over Home at the moment. The Home products are essentially the same as the SoHo products with exactly the same quality and back-end and technical support. The only difference is no VAT invoice on Home, but that is more than offset by the lower price. So Home is all that anyone needs even for a business.<br /><br />If you are contemplating ((min term = 0) + (install fee = 100%)) and also ((min term = 12) + (install fee = 0%) then, given your desire to be a bit of an algorithm geek why not allow:<br /><br />((min term = 0 to 12) + (install fee = 100% to 100%/12 or 0%))<br /><br />i.e. a deal for a 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 4 month, etc. term.<br /><br />Then if I have a temporary site coming up which I know is needed for 4.5 months, I could just arrange a 5 month deal with AAISP and pay something like a 7/12ths install fee, or whatever calculation it ends up needing to be to be economical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-78900243057169793352017-10-05T21:24:01.312+01:002017-10-05T21:24:01.312+01:00If BT and TalkTalk Home::1-1Tb deals will both exi...If BT and TalkTalk Home::1-1Tb deals will both exist will there be a need to give a clear chart showing differences and pros/cons between BT backhaul and TalkTalk backhaul?
