A very vague response. They should have this information with plenty of detail, on their website.
This is how other providers do it:
Broadband traffic management
We want you to enjoy your broadband without having to worry about caps and limits. Our packages are completely unlimited, which means there aren't any usage caps, extra charges or speed reductions, even at peak times. We've signed up to the voluntary industry code of practice, and we're open...
On Aquiss FAQ page the link to their traffic shaping more info is broken.A very vague response. They should have this information with plenty of detail, on their website.

Is there any catch or gotcha to this? I knew they were doing Game Pass for new BT Fibre customers but didn't think I could get it as an existing one?
When I logon to BT site I see this down the bottom where the EE offers etc are:
Then when I click into it, it suggests it's free for 12 months with no contract time. Link I get sent to is https://my.bt.com/s/apps/appsmybt/#/xbox
Looks like I can add the 12 month version without any strings for no cost... I am not currently subbed to Game Pass.
Has anyone done this? Been with BT 900 for over 2 years never seen this offer appear for me before! only just renewed though.

Bear in mind that BT prices will also be going up in April even if you sign up now.
In short if you want to avoid price rises don't re-contract until after they all go up.
I currently pay £32 for 150mb, it's going to £35.
BT is £30.99 for 500mb, is it likely to go up by £4+.
Just want to know do I have to cancel sky and be without internet for a while or can I just start a transfer with BT. It's usually done in 2 weeks isn't it so within the 30 days.

I think they knew what they were doing - get as many people onboard now and then price hike. Boom.
They not daft.
£17.99 VM M250, not had an email yet to say prices going up.
£12.00 O2 SIM
Both on 18 month contract but the streets not getting done with full fibre as of yet. Area is due with City fibre at some point.

I've had Full Fiber for years, it's a lot cheaper now than it was when I first got it. Think my first go with 150mb was £45.

the BT price will go up by almost 15% at the same time.
14.4% so if I change now I get 500mb for 45p extra a month Vs staying with Sky 150. Seems a no brainer.
Spoke to the sales team at Aquiss was reassured that traffic management was only for emergencys and for a short period.
He went into say they have heavy users with 5TB of downloads per month and its not an issue. Plenty of bandwidth available and he said it was cheaper to supply bandwidth these days rather that traffic shape.
And 5wks for a new ONT these days.

Still need to get in touch, it wouldn't automatically deduct the early termination charge.
Turns out the 30 days is to tell them, they then just set your account to out of contact so you don't get charged for leaving.
So I have as much time as I want to switch now.
They did offer me Ultrafast for £32 but I've had a fair bit of downtime with Sky in the 6 months and zero with BT in 2+ years.
