Though I suspect > _new_ customers might still find them expensive. No, they don’t sell ATAs. I suspect that comes under the heading of being potentially more trouble than it is worth in terms of support. They have no control over what is plugged into the ATA and someone is bound to try an oddball combination and then say it is A&A’s fault. Of course, there’s nothing to stop you buying and configuring your own ATA, but that’s not A&A’s support problem. IDNet, another high quality ISP who I also use, will sell you a preconfigured ATA. IDNet also don’t price walk. In fact my service went down in price last year.
