just thought i would share this with you my mate works for eclipse even though he woud get a big discount he would never go with them, he works on the tech side, they installed new stuff about 3months ago and the whole system went down, and when customers phoned up they said it was a fault with bt, so my mate tells me they are allways messing things up, the only reason he is working there is the money and not far from his home in exeterhominid said:I've not noticed slow speeds, 230+k on newsgroup downloads - haven't played games lately so not sure about pings..

I've been seriously looking at migrating, maybe to an office service.
I want to click things and have them open instantly! This is the biggest difference I noticed when I went from Nildram to Eclipse, speed tests were the same but Nildram was much more responsive (two years ago)
