Eclipse Option 2?

Any would had problems or have reviews of Eclipse option 2 -

http://www.eclipse.net.uk/index.cfm?id=fixedmain_res

I need a fast connection, unlimited (i understand this service is limited to 30gig per month peak times 6-12)

Most of my downloads will be during the day!

Also, what I'm abit sceptical about is, will they try and slow my speeds down in order to make me go for a better and more expensive package, or are they fair about this.

thanks

    If you join Eclipse they won't , just left them this week due to pathetic speeds during the day ( less than 1 Mb ) and it didn't get a lot better off peak as p2p was throttled to 2 Mb as well as newsgroups.
    Take a good look through the Eclipse forum on ADSL guide before you sign up to Eclipse.

    well i signed up yesterday with them. everything seems quick, sign up i mean and they already shipped everything over. connection date 6 days time.

    well, you have a 14 day cooling off period don't you? so i can cancell if not satisfied

    which starts from the day of the order!
  • umm if i would have seen this post before I would have advised you not to join them:

    go to https://www.adslguide.org.uk and click on the message boards > eclipse

    loads of bad rep. we signed up to eclipse evo 3 and our actual download speeds were 36kbps constantly no matter what time of day it was :o

    so we cancelled within the 14day period and joined up with namesco who have a lot better reputation on the forums :)

    so if the speeds are slow bail out now, it isnt going to get too much better > when i went to cancel i mentioned the adslguide forums and she just said 'oh' (i.e. they know all about it) and she cancelled it for me.

    good luck
