What's the difference between Eclipse's Flex and Evolution services?

As per the title basically. I'm on 1Meg Flex at the moment and I've just spotted I can get Evolution 4 for the same price, would there be any joy in making the change?

Surely you should be paying £23.95 a month for Flex1000? They dropped the prices a while back! Flex2000 went to £29.99.

Evolution introduces traffic shaping and peak time usage limits; on Evo 4 you're looking at 50GB a month during 6pm-12pm and unlimited outside these hours. P2P/USENET is limited to 2meg all day then goes unlimited between midnight and 8am. This isn't set in stone though, they could vary the shaping at any point.

I must've confused myself, I am indeed paying £23.95.

Hmm, packet shaping's nothing I really want to be a part of. Seems as though Flex is the way to stick for the time being.

Cheers,

I honestly wish I did not switch to evo 4 from flex1000. Pings are unstable as hell and download speed is pretty eratic as well.

I was getting flex1000 for 19.99 for some reason also.
