The actual speed achieved depends upon the distance from the cabinet and quality of the telephone line. At certain times, congestion within the network may also result in reduced speeds. In all cases we will provide you with an estimated "sync range" that your telephone line will support prior to agreeing a contract with ourselves. Nationally, 10% of our customers receive average throughput speeds of 35.00 Mbit/s where customers have taken Option 1 or 2 and average throughput speeds of 67.00 Mbit/s where customers have taken Option 3. These figures were correct as of January 2020. We will happily go into detailed specifics.

Transferring an active broadband service from another Internet Service Provider are generally completed within 12 working days, although it's often less than this. Bulk transfers can take up to 14 working days depending on quantity. You can expect a short service interruption of between 20 minutes and 2 hours on the day of transfer. Migrations to Aquiss from a copper based ADSL service to a Aquiss FTTC fibre services are currently FREE, saving £96.00 (inc VAT). If you're looking to migrate from a current fibre service, please see the next question/answer.

Yes. We offer a couple of different installation choices with our FTTC products. The first option being a Wires-Only Self Install solution, where no engineer will attend the property directly and the second solution being an appointed Managed Engineer Install option, where an engineer will arrive at the property. The Wires-Only Self Install option is the perfect choice where time off work is not possible.

You will need to supply a VDSL Fibre Router with an built-in modem (a combined unit). An older ADSL router will not work with fibre services. All phone sockets within the property will also need to have a filter attached if not done so already.

A question that many services providers will hide in their terms and conditions or claim denial, or worst still, will deploy without notice. That's not Aquiss. Our approach is to be open and upfront, right from the start. This question normally comes from our more technical customers, so we have prepared a larger technical document which can be found by clicking here.

Maybe, depending on what you're looking to do. If you are not moving your broadband service to another ISP, there would be a £33.33 Broadband Cease fee. However, if you have decided to move your active broadband service to another Internet Provider (migrating away from Aquiss), no Broadband Cease fee would be applied by Aquiss, as long as the new provider follows the correct migrating procedures. Of course, if there are any remaining months left on your minimum contract to complete, you would need to settle these in full. It should be noted that a Broadband Cease Fee would also be triggered if your telephone service is cancelled causing our broadband service to be ceased.

Yes. There will be a £33.33 Broadband Cease fee to end the service at your current property. If there are any remaining months left on your minimum contract to complete, whilst at this property, you would also need to settle these in full. Contracts are not transferred between properties. Reactivation charges at your new property are possible, subject to contract options available and availability. It should be noted that charges will also be triggered if your telephone service is cancelled causing our broadband service to be ceased.

We offer a wide range of payment options that can be setup securely via our online eBilling platform. These include Direct Debit, Credit and Debit cards (including Amex), Bank Transfer and Standing Order.

Yes, of course. Excluding any offers, if you're having FTTC installed for the first time, there will be a £0.00 (one-off) charge. You may have to purchase a VDSL fibre router. Your monthly charge will depend on the option selected. You will be comitted to a contract for the minimum contract period of 12 months.
