Thanks all for your well-reasoned praise of this ISP outfit. I knew they were good, but very expensive - when I last looked, my current usage would have cost me north of £50 a month. Home:1 appears to be £25 (with the option to double your cap for a heavy month for a tenner), which is comparable to my current monthly bill.
I currently pay about £20 a month to Eclipse, who are very good indeed - except for the fact that IPv6 is perpetually currently being tested and coming soon. I live in a rural area, no fibre, so I wanted the best normal ADSL connection I could get for a reasonable amount. I'm likely to be moving again in the next six months (job "changes" apparently looming) so I'll re-consider A&A when I do.
I miss South Yorkshire's Digital Region. Origin Broadband was uncapped, unthrottled, unfiltered 40Mbps fibre for £22.50 a month...
I can guarantee that it's impossible for any ISP to offer an uncapped 40Mbit connection for £22.50 pm. That's a theoretical bandwidth of 13TB per month. They'd be losing bucketloads of cash if you did that - that kind of bandwidth costs _thousands_.
This is the problem AAISP have. Everyone else promises things they can't deliver, for absurd prices. Someone comes along with a moderately sustainable pricing model, and suddenly they're expensive.
