I’ve put my details into A&A’s FTTP home service.

For the same speeds and unlimited data as I have with PN, A&A at £75pm are
double my current costs.

The only call for help I’ve ever made to PN was to let them know the fibre
installation was complete, the ONT and router were powered up, and ask that
the line be enabled. A few minutes later the service went live and has run
flawlessly since then.

I can’t quite see what improvement in my going to A&A at double the cost
would actually bring.

JFTR, at the same time as the fibre installation, I’d ported my landline
number to A&A. That ran smoothly, and I run the system on their ‘send me an
mp3 of the call’ service at a minimal monthly cost. I use mobiles for
outgoing calls.

Everything related to the transition to FTTP went smoothly; but I can’t see
what advantages changing to A&A would bring…
