Aquiss

£2 per IP is (unfortunately) quite cheap. Very little reason for a home user to need a block really, and the potential of it costing £16 is enough to make investigating alternatives worth it.

Quite. I run my main home network behind the first IP (masquerading the LAN devices for general 'net traffic), then have my domain's primary DNS running off a second IP, backup DNS running on a separate server on the third IP, a second domain running off the fourth IP and a general server (web, *arr etc under Proxmox) running on the fifth. I find I'm using IPv6 more than IPv4 now anyway as it's seldom unavailable these days, usually just on hotspots in hospital etc. The cost is on par with 3-4 full VPS with their own associated dedicated IP addresses though, so it's a bit much when you think of it that way.
 
Christmas and all the damage caused by the storms has pushed installs out quite a long way, even when all I needed was an ONT swap to something with a 2.5Gb interface it took three weeks.

Lately my download speed has took a considerable tumble in the evening from 7-11 pm i can barely get 300 mbps worse on weekends
Seem there is issue with BT exchange capacity and aquiss carn't do nothing about it.
yet am still paying for 900mbps.

Same here, actually. I'll file a ticket if it carries on tomorrow. We're switching to YouFibre in a few weeks (I put off the install for redecorating/renovating) so not overly concerned at this point. It's uncharacteristic of Aquiss though, I will say. I normally get rock solid speeds. Storm damage, maybe?

Hmm possibly been going on since start of december
this is what they responded with

"Potential Performance issue has been identified. The VLAN is at a RED Utilization level and users may experience some problems at peak times. We are currently working to plan a fix date for this issue. Please pass to BTW for further information as to when the issue will be resolved".

After midnight my speeds are back to full whack. I've dropped a ticket (in which I also gave my notice), but hopefully they resolve the capacity issue soon.
 
Presumably if it's affecting people in different areas then it's to do with them hitting capacity on what they buy from BT Wholesale
 
Not ideal, capacity upgrades would ideally be planned and ordered advance, especially with a seasonal peak due, hopefully as it’s just the OR side the CF users aren’t affected. My potential Yayzi escape - assuming they don't suddenly manage to pull it together - is looking like either Aquiss or IDNet, it’d be nice to go back to the days when the name of my ISP isn’t akin to a swear word within the household.

Keep us updated guys, hopefully they fix the issue, I’m going onto Aquiss middle of next month!

I guess one good thing is the contracts are short and once I have fttp installed here, it will be a lot easier to migrate to other isp’s in the future although I hope Aquiss will fine long term for me.
