Radaam's review of Avonline Broadband - www.avonlinebroadband.com

“Garbage, a total swizz. Avoid, avoid, avoid.”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Radaam on 28/01/2015

I live in an area with 1Mbps ADSL broadband. I took out a 2 year deal with Tooway/Avonline and can't wait to get out of it.
I use my internet mainly for Netflix/Apple TV other than general surfing, which is why I went with their 20Mbps service.
I started on a 10Gb package, but was breaching it and so getting shaped/limited to 256Kbps each month. Fair enough I thought, so upped to a 30Gb package for £50 per month.
I now find out, somewhere in the small print, that there is a fair usage policy, where once you use 50% of you data allowance, then certain uses are put into a usage pool only usable between 11PM and 6AM or something.

One such type of usage is streaming video/films.
So, I buy, a 30Gb package, but am not allowed to use it how I would like. Apparently using whatever data I want within my 30Gb limit is deemed "unfair".

I'm out of contract at the end of August, I will be leaving. Paying £50 per month just to send emails faster is just not worth it.

Bye bye Avonline.
