Anti Packet Loss System


In order to prevent packet loss and high latency during the gaming experience, we have deployed a system that we call Anti-Loss Tool (ALT) that monitors all broadband capacity to ensure that no part of the network is being saturated.

If the monitoring systems determine that a part of the broadband network is about to become overloaded, a sample average of usage over the last five minutes from that part of the network is used to decide how to control packet loss; within a short period of time this measure is deployed.

All ISP networks are subject to an occasional slowdown, but the skilful art of balance loading and capacity upgrades can help to control this. The Aquiss core network is consistently upgraded, often ahead of requirements, that ensures only the finest gaming experience.
 


Understanding Peak Usage and Off-Peak Usage

We have split each day into two distinct usage periods (Peak and Off-Peak). This allows us to control the Quality of Service (QoS) that you receive to be of only the highest standard; and offer a "fair for all" approach across the package range.

Peak Usage Period is 08:00am until 23:59pm daily
Off-Peak Usage Period is 00:00am (midnight) until 07:59am daily

During the Off-Peak period our network is generally empty, therefore we are able to provide every customer a free usage period without using up your main peak monthly usage. An example of using this bonus could be to schedule Windows Updates, Sky by Broadband downloads or similar which are generally quite large. Overall more value for your money.
 



Exceeding Allowances Advisory

If you go over your agreed peak allowance you will still be able to access the Internet for an additional period of time. However, both peak and off-peak speeds will be reduced to a maximum of 128 kbps at all times, along with a maximum extra allowance of 1 GB beyond your agreed allowance to use in cases of emergency.

If the exceeding of an allowance takes place you can continue at the reduced speed until the usage resets itself, based on your billing date, or purchase an allowance top-up at any time.

Top-Up Allowances, if purchased, last until it has been used up, irrespective of how long it takes to use them. In other words, as long as you remain a customer, any portion of the bandwidth top-up that remains at the end of each month will be available for use the next month and so on.



Available Payment Options


Payments can be made securely via our e-billing platform using a wide range of payment options. These include Visa, Visa Delta, Visa Electron, MasterCard, Maestro, Switch, Solo and Amex. You can also use PayPal.



Please Note : Please be advised that payments via AMEX can be subject to extra handling charges imposed by AMEX directly.
 


What speed will my line support?


* The maximum speed you will received is dependant on a mixture of how far you are from your local telephone exchange and the conditions of your telephone line. However, just like up to 8Mbps products, we will automatically attempt to activate services at the fastest possible speeds, up to 24Mbps via the use of ADSL2+ technology. If your exchange is yet to be enabled with ADSL2+ technology, we will enable your line up to 8Mbps via ADSL technology, and upgrade the line as soon as upgrades are completed.

In all cases we will provide you with an estimated speed that your line will support prior to agreeing a contract with ourselves, however the graph below will give you a quick estimate by using your present "Line Attenuation" figure as a starting reference.

In the event that 24Mbps can not be established, your line will automatically connect itself at the highest speed available, up to a maximum of 24Mbps. In any event your line will be enabled, with a worst case situation of a 135k connection for extremely long lines from your BT exchange.
