Hi All
I am with NTL at the mo on 1mb £17.99 but can only get 2mb unlimited on my exchange but i can get 5.5mb with Eclipse for £14.99 is this a good move or is there any problem i should know about eg unlimited restriction , fair usage etc i download about 50-60gig a week

If you download that much then you will need the top tier on eclipse. That is £30pm.

But yeah they are quite good

50-60gig a week

never had a problem with NTL usage

No, but you will with almost everyone else. Eclipse will not like that sort of abuse, you might get away with it on the highest tier.

Remember that the caps have been removed from NTL's services. Thats not to say you wont get disconnected if you take the micky, but i dont think 60 gig a week is going to be an issue.

Are you on their cable service (which seems most likely), or is this some ADSL thing?
If it's the former, and the price fits, you should be able to get up to 10Mbps.

Eclipse's limits are only peak times, so that's only about 5GB a day outside peak times and 1.60GB at peak times on the highest package (£29.99pm).

They cap P2P at 1mbps most of the time anyway.
