Yeah i checked that Eclipse website,considering it because it accually looks like a good deal...

I may not need 8Meg broadband

How fast do 1-8Meg go (as in download-wise)
Atm because my internet is so slow my max download speed is 59kbps and when i play mir servers i lagg when people are downloading on the other computers (i hear better internet cures that problem?)


Thanks for the posts people.


EDIT :

Found these offer good deals,could anybody tell me if they have bad feedback from customers (because they look like good deals...)

You need to divide the megaBITS with 8 to get megabytes.

Soo, it would be about 1megabyte (1024 kilobytes) downstream speed.

Dont go with Pipex!!!!!!!!

If you move you have to pay £400.00 to cancal you bb & they credit you account with it when you rejoin sounds like blackmail to me.

thats only to get out of ur 12month contract ....the 400 is for the rest of ur payment that htey owuld have recieved i'm guessing becuz i tried to cancel it before.

pipex is really reliable and i have had no problems with them the 1 year and a half i have been with them, also there customer support is pretty good

From ADSLGuide.org.uk (or whatever its called) I learnt the following;

TalkTalk is horrible. Poor customer service and the contention is too high (lots of users sharing same pipe = slower speeds). (Not the ted stevens idea of pipes). I think they also have quite a mean set of caps.

You have to read the Terms of Service before you apply for anyone. You don't want to sign up for someone, find they're rubbish and then be locked in for twelve months.

If your a heavy P2P/downloader avoid ISP's like Pipex which get really pissy about those types of things. Also be aware of ISP's which may shape traffic to slower the speeds of things like BitTorrent traffic or ZIP downloads.

If you go for 8mbit thats only the theortrical max speed of the line. The actual speed will depend on the quality and distance of the line from the exchange. Theres a checker on the BT website if you want an idea. You do get a minimum of a 448kbp/s upload tho :D
