INITIAL

We have had a couple of customers on the FTTC 80Mb/s -20Mb/s 'technical trial' for some time and we're now able to accept customers on to the national 80/20FTTC trial.

This is open to all FTTC customers, as well as people wanting to upgrade or migrate to us. There is no cost for existing FTTC customers to migrate to 80/20, and the migration should happen overnight.

At the moment there are a few 'unknowns' - such as what the cost difference will be and how long the trial will last.

For more information please email trials@aa.net.uk

UPDATE

There is no additional costs for the trial and we will inform customers of launch pricing before the trial end to give you the opportunity to downgrade your line so as not to incur the extra charges of the 80/20M service
