AltNet Provider Announces Big Discounts on Full-fibre Internet Packages
AltNet provider Aquiss is reducing the price of its broadband packages. The discounts will come into effect immediately, with some customers saving up to £10 a month.
It’s welcome news for people connected to the Aquiss network, as well as customers looking for alternatives to the more expensive ‘big-name’ providers.
A recent survey by CommunityFibre and Perspectus Global found that up to 1 in 5 people are struggling to pay their monthly broadband bill. Over 1 in 3 of the 1,500 people surveyed admitted they would consider cutting back on other essentials (including food and fuel) to pay for internet at home.
“With so many people struggling with the cost of living right now, we’re determined to help our customers keep control of their household budgets,” said a spokesperson for Aquiss.
Rocio Concha, Director of Policy and Advocacy at Which?, thinks that more firms should follow Aquiss’s lead:
“It is unacceptable that broadband providers aren’t doing more [for] to customers. During a cost of living crisis, broadband providers must support the most financially vulnerable with discounted deals.”
The savings apply to Aquiss’ unlimited full-fibre family packages, with max speeds of 1GB. Eligible and new customers will continue to benefit from a pre-existing discount that reduces the price of each package by 50% for the first three months of service. That puts an extra £200 into some customers’ pockets.
Founded in 2005, Aquiss is a family-owned internet service provider headquartered in Shropshire. It provides fast, affordable full-fibre internet to thousands of local homes and businesses.
