    Been with them for over 3 years and had an outage only twice, they're also quite lax about their usage policy if you opt for the highest package although even whilst on the cheapest they never throttled me even though I quite often went over the quota.
    They're reasonably price too. They should be offering up to 24meg soon too, check your local exchange and see if they've LLU'ed yet.

    Maybe they clamped down on it in the US.. in the UK it's a sorry tale:

    Vodaphone 'unlimited' 1GB
    Eclipse 'unlimited' 20GB

    etc. etc.

    Those that don't have specific caps use weasel words like 'bandwidth management' and 'excessive usage' which in practice means they can decide to put you on a 56kbps connection tomorrow and you couldn't do a damned thing about it.

    Since the AUP's UK users agree to are pretty draconian in order to get internet access

    Speak for your own ISP's AUP; mine isn't what I'd call draconian (scroll past the terms for the one month trial). In summary, my obligations are to obey the relevant laws, and not try to claim that it's Eclipse's fault if I get caught breaking one.

    By way of comparison, I get my ADSL service in the UK from eclipse, and I'm 12 hops from google.com and 7 from google.co.uk.

    Actually nearly all ISPs in the UK including mine sells routers as a package solution. Here's Eclipse's package

    Also my ISP have got Linux help pages here

    I've had good experiences with Eclipse Internet.

    They're pretty cheap, and they let you have a block of 4 ip's without question. If you want more you have to justify it though.

  7. this article makes FOSS community look like kids by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on HTML Rendering Crashes IE
    Yeah, there are pages that consistently crash IE. There are also pages that consistently crash Mozilla (hell, there are a lot of them), and Opera, and Konqueror. Even my ISP's home page brings Konqueror to a crawl (I fire up SSL-enabled Lynx for ISP config ;-).

    You know what, writing a web browser isn't easy. But not even Microsoft, with all its pro-Microsoft zealotry(!), has a forum which publishes a blow-by-blow list of every bug or vulnerability found in the 58 Free/Open Source browsers. "WE ARE BETAR THAN GAH-NU" is left to be dealt with in a childish way by the marketing dept: after all, the only competition they have (marketing wise) is.. well.. stuff like this forum.

  8. Eclipse by oob · · Score: 3, Informative · on UK ISP Imposes Download Limits

    I use Eclipse Internet for ADSL here in the U.K.

    Around GBP 25/month buys me a connection to the second fastest ADSL provider in the country.

    There is no fixed term contract (I pay month by month), no traffic restrictions, no closed ports and very little downtime. Static IP addresses are standard and more are easy to obtain. In addition, all the usual webspace, mail and news stuff are included in the standard price.

    I share the 512kb/s uplink with the three people I live with and two of our neighbours via a 802.11b. Between us we have a number of servers running so pretty much max out our bandwidth all of the time.

    I suggest that anyone considering a switch from NTL consider them.
