Aquiss

Just a question, I gather with aquiss I get ipv6, anything I need to do my end?

For example on my iPad under WiFi network, I see I have ipv4 addresses and about 3 ipv6 addresses. What does it all mean, lol.

Test it.

test-ipv6.com

Test your IPv6.

This will test your browser and connection for IPv6 readiness, as well as show you your current IPv4 and IPv6 address.

That gives me a 10/10 score, so I have ipv6. But I was asking if I need to configure anything, seems like I don’t though.

There can be some setup involved, depending on your needs and your router. For example, SLAAC vs DHCPv6, pulling the prefix etc. In your case it's already working, via SLAAC by the sounds of it. You might find this useful (it's a good video):


 
Aquiss installed by CF yesterday. Everything was good, installation (usual trying to cut corners which I prevented) and worked as soon as it was connected. Speedtest show 2200/2400 on the 2500/2500 service. Static IP worked straight off. Everything so far has been great, thanks for the recommendation everyone!

Does Aquiss vary the half price openreach product discount period on a regular basis? It's 3 months at the moment. In the past I've seen 6 months of discount. I'm up for renewal with BT in May and hoping the 6 months offer will be back so the pain is less in switching.

They probably cut it to 3 months to stem the bleeding of the Openreach price increases coming in April. Eventually they will have to raise the price to cover costs but taking some half price months away is a sensible solution. They haven't raised that price for years but eventually cpi eats into that margin.

I’m actually thinking of moving away from Aquiss. The support is great but I’m finding the routing for CS2 not to be the best. I know it’s not the most technical of tests but my mate who lives about 5 minute down the road is with Sky and he gets about half the ping that I do.

I need to get some tracerts from both of us and see what’s going on, but I’m definitely considering it.

Not apples to oranges, but I had much the same experience. Support is A1, undoubtedly. The Enta backend wasn't exactly optimal for me though, and since switching to YouFibre my pings have dropped significantly (7ms to London vs 12ms, and 1-2ms to Manchester vs 15ms due to not routing Liverpool > London > Manchester). Anecdotally, my BQM/latency is much flatter too - no need for SQM and the graph is a flat 7ms day and night no matter what.

It's worth looking into the issue further if you're seeing real world issues arising from it, rather than just the graph not looking as sleek and pretty.

Cheers for that - unfortunately I can't get YouFibre here or I'd have made the jump. I'll do a bit more testing before I commit. There's no specific issues other than the pings not being optimal, all I play really are online games so it's important to me that the routing is as optimal as it can be.
 
OR activate.. Big difference in terms of latency. VM was around 15-20ms

I just realised when I do a speedtest, it shows my ISP Aquiss, despite having Private Relay enabled.

Anyone else notice the same, Im guessing private relay is not working as it should with Aquiss?

6 months half price all month at Aquiss as of today :)

Yeah I signed up last month on the 6 month deal - I noticed a comment by Martin somewhere that they scale it depending on demand.

I am happy to give it a go for 12 months - at that effective price it's competitive with the big names. And being able to use my own router with no junk in the middle (and totally supported and intended rather than hunting around in forums and buried support pages) has been a dream.
 
Can anyone please tell me if iCloud private relay shows on Ookla speedtest or Aquiss as ISP?

I have PR enabled yet speedtest shows my ISP, thinking something must be broken.

Just noticed they have also pulled the Cityfibre GPON 2000/1000 packages as well.

This is interesting, I'm on 2000/1000.
I've dropped them a note to ask if 2500/2500 is in my area yet because CityFibre checkers from other ISPs are allowing me to signup for it
