Im on Plusnet, 21.99 for 2 meg. The fair use policy got binned (see
article on the reg) and they shoved the high users onto a bad boys
pipe.
I was on eclipse, even on 512 (before the regrade) Plusnet was quicker.
I got the 2 meg regrade yesterday and speed tests only show 1.5, but, no
big deal for me. Unfortunately down time is, Eclipse were *dreadful* in
May, and it was one of the reasons I left. Plusnet have had one outage
(schedule maintenance that my router needs a reboot to recover from) in
the 5 days Ive been with them. Nice front-end on the web for Plusnet
though.
Not everybody is being upgraded, Eclipse had no plans to upgrade
anybody.
Plusnet also do discounts for referrals - hint hint.
