    Eclipse Internet don't know much about what they do.They don't know that there is possibility to connect another domain to the same acount and of course they don't know how to do it.Pop3 disconnets very frequently, for long periods of time.

    Started off pretty good. I was on a rolling monthly contract with them using their 'Business 20' service.I had been with them for a year as a business customer, but due to a change in my business procedures I had an increase in my usage and was nearly reaching my 20Gb monthly limit each month (it's one pound per gigabyte if you choose to exceed this) so called them to ask for advice, thinking I might change to their top residential package which offered unlimited usage (under their fair usage ag ...

    They must be the biggest load of wasters on the planet in my opinion. I made the mistake of signing up for a one year contract. Big mistake. It took ages to get them to stop charging me even after I had switched to a much better ISP. Lots of excuses No action.

    The good news. I switched to Fast.co.uk excellent ISP. Fast reliable speeds. Super customer service. Totally reliable, wished I had done it a long while ago. Highly recommended.

    Looking at the other comments, it seems like alot of people are having the same problems as me.I have been an Eclipse customer for over 4 years, but in my opinion customer loyalty means is slacking. Their "packages" seem to change every week, and when i phoned up to report a problem with my speed, they informed me that it was not a problem but they have capped the speeds on purpose so that users would go to their "new" packages. The worst thing that they do is this download capping. Unfortunatel ...

    I've had the misfortune of dealing with Eclipse proffesionally for over three years and at no point has there service ever been anything but poor. Their servers seem to be down so often it's a joke, they are sometimes slow to respond to outages at all. It took me 6 months to persuade our company to switch ISP and we've been flying along since, unfortunately we still have to deal with the odd client on Eclipse and I dread having to do any work with them! This is easily the worst company I've ever ...

    How the mighty fall from grace, a couple of years ago these guys were great. My new ISP told me why - they were bought out by Kingston a while back - it all makes sense.

    Paying for 8Mbps but never got more than 4.8 it seems and usually 3.5-4 even at quiet times. They used to brag about contention ratios etc but this doesn't seem to be a selling point now.

    Unhelpful customer service now - personally not happy with the staff. To be fair I asked for my MAC code after I felt I received no help and ...

    Eclipse Interne works sometimes
    Slow, disconnects frequently, doesn't always like to load pages. Customer service, in my experience is awful, staff on the other end of the phone weren't very helpful (with the exception of one man). I wouldn't suggest Eclipse to anyone. All in all, very disappointed.

    Eclipse internet has changed the fair usage- now between 9.00am-11.00pmI cannot see the fairness in that, best speed I ever got off them was 3mb30 days cancel notice, they debited over payment of 3 days.

    Firstly, customer service is a strictly 9 to 5 outfit, so if you have a job you can give up any ideas about ever being able to call them up if a problem should arise I feel. I have no doubt that a problem will arise, as the speeds are usually in the region of 2-5% of what is advertised in my experience. In addition to this the traffic is shaped to squeeze p2p to sub dial-up speeds. Eventually I managed to move to Be Un Limited, and the speed I get with them is about 35 times faster in real terms ...

    Speed can be low at times. I used to run BT business broadband and the speeds were great. I downgraded to a home package and changed to Eclipse based on a recommendation from a friend. I am downloading at an average of 30Kb/sec!!!

    Good service, never been a problem though the speed isn't as good as it should be. Always works, has never disconnected in the 10 months we have had it.No problems so far.

    Our line tested at 6Mb download and we signed unlimited Level 2 business ADSL contract at £39.99+VAT per month on 04/04/08. Actual speed 600Kb/s. Called technical support who said they offer no guarantee of speed and that our package was now obsolete (after only one week!) and we needed to upgrade to £49.99 for the new unlimited package as the new packages were being given contention priority over the "old" packages (including our new service).

    Now resolved by moving provider and ...

    It feels like they want to provide a good service but haven't got the means to do it as far as I am concerned. They are now saying that BT may charge me £169 to repair the problem if Eclipse's equipment is faulty. In addition if I want to cancel my 12 month business contract I would still have to pay a set up fee of £69. This is not good in my opinion therefore I do not recommend Eclipse internet.

    Didn't like anything. Was a problem from day 1 and didn't cease to be until I left some 2 months later (actually, it is still a problem even though I gave up on the service in January - as far as I am concerned, they still can't get their act together to send an accurate final bill).
    I do not recommend Eclipse Internet Broadband. Ever.

    No problems so far, just always works. we have a VPN running on the 3 sites and don't get problems with the lines.
    In the first place they were very helpfull in sorting out problem with the line quality. They got hold of BT to sort out the line, and chased BT to get the work done.

    Obviously I had to have the dreaded 12 month contract with Eclipse Internet. If all providers are as good as there promises why don't they offer 1 month contracts? Speed at times was as slow as dial up (honestly) customer service was unhelpful and not very knowledgeable. Just poor service stay away.

    When I joined in 2006 they were good but now I am very disappointed. Eclipse appear to be running some very heavy-handed torrent and p2p blocking technology which in my experience will not let you connect to chat or game servers either, or many other things. The speeds are very poor for me (around what I used to get on 56k dialup) at "busy" times - any time except midnight Friday to noon Saturday in my recent experience - and I have got very used to seeing little red "unable to connect" icons, n ...

    It takes time, due to speed and support. In my opnion they are not aware that their speed ect is down to them and end by saying its the best they can do. I thought I was going to recieve repayments for the service I receieved and so on.

    Dont recommend Eclipse Internet.net.uk
