Shropshire-based UK ISP Aquiss has this morning announced that they’ve launched an additional range of broadband packages based off FullFibre Limited‘s (Fibre Heroes) network, which has so far deployed an open access Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network to cover 380,000 UK premises ‘ready for service’ (23rd Aug 2024).
The provider, which already supplies services via Openreach and CityFibre’s growing national FTTP networks, appears to be offering a range of packages via FullFibre Ltd that start from £32 a month for speeds of 150Mbps (average) on a 12-month minimum contract term (discounted to £16 pm for the first 3 months), which rises to £48 (£24 pm for the first 3 months) for their top 900Mbps tier.
All packages include symmetric service speeds, unlimited usage, a 12-month minimum contract term, a pledge of no mid-contract price rises, free activation, a static IPv4 address and static IPv6 addresses (/56). But new customers will be expected to supply their own broadband router, which is not included.
FullFibre’s underlying network typically covers around 130 towns across parts of Derbyshire, Essex, Gloucestershire, Greater Manchester, Herefordshire, Lancashire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Merseyside, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Shropshire, South Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire in England.
Interestingly, Aquiss’ website states that the new network covers 500,000 properties, although we’ve yet to see that being confirmed as an RFS figure by the operator itself.
