</div>I've been a happy customer of Andrews and Arnold [0] for almost two<br>
years. I started off with a BT line, then switched to Be, but I'm<br>
also planning to move away from them with the Murdoch take over.<br>
<br>
AA deal with BT for you, and they do a good job of it. To be fair,<br>
the only reason I switched to a Be backhaul was cost. I won't go into<br>
all the details here, they're on the web site, but briefly the Home::1<br>
package offers a real (no NAT) IPv4 address, a /48 native IPv6 block<br>
and 50GB any time downloads for £25 a month. After that, it's up to<br>
you to choose what add-ons you need.<br>

<span></span></blockquote></div></div><div><br>+1 for AA. I've been with them for several years. While they're not the cheapest the service level is exceptional, i.e. you get what you pay for. Speeds are always best-effort, there is no filtering or SPI, and the support team are highly knowledgeable and responsive. Just as an example, I moved properties and wanted to merge the new account with my old one. I went on IRC, asked, and was done in less than five minutes. You can also normally chat with the company owner (RevK).<br>
<br>It looks like the Home::1 tariff is a good bet if you need 'net access during weekdays. Otherwise I'd stick to the unit-based system. In addition to the ~£20 base cost (including two units), one unit is ~£3.90 which buys you a mix of 1GB (or 2.5GB on 21CN ADSL2+) 9am-6pm and 50GB 6pm-9am, with "night time special" running 2am-6am with 1TB/unit. Weekends and Bank Holidays are 50GB/unit. If you over- or under-use the difference is carried over to the next month and you can change units on a month-by-month basis.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
