Bonded ADSL Lines

Eclipse £120 per month for 4 lines

Andrews & Arnold ~£200 per month for 2 lines.

Hmm.

Anyone any experience of Eclipse? We have an A&A line already, so know
how good they are.

I've got nomal domestic ADSL from Eclipse, not bonded lines, and I've
got my MAC and am due to leave them next Monday.

You can consider that as relevant or irrelevant as you wish.

They may have changed now, but they didn't used to do proper business
grade ADSL - ie. their lines via the BT wholesale network were strictly
"standard" traffic weighting, and their business products just gave
extra GB per month.

.... As a customer of mine has found out to their detriment recently -
they wanted 800Kbps upload, but only got 400Kbps... And they're locked
into a one-year contract too.

They may be bonding on LLU lines though which might be different.

You might want to look at EFM products now though - Ethernet first Mile.

Depending on what they're bonding, 2 lines might not be worth the candle, ie
you may get better performance from a single ASDL2+ than a pair of
"ordinary" ADSL lines.

I've got normal domestic ADSL from them and I'm quite happy.

Well, as happy as you can expect when I get just over 2 megs from BT's
aluminium cable.

Missed something here (Java Jive's message)

This looks cheap for bonded broadband

I've never been happy with the speeds. The situation is that I've
been too ill to work for years and can only afford to be on what was,
when I first signed up for it, just about the cheapest broadband
going. I'm supposed to be getting 512/256 Kb/s.

But about a year or two ago I started to notice that my speed seemed
to be dropping and, whenever I was downloading something big, even
something perfectly legal such as a Linux distro iso, my connection
would be reset and my router would have to reconnect. Coincidentally
or not, it was about that time that they started spamming every single
one of my email addresses, I have three which I use for different
purposes, with upgrade offers - you know the sort of thing: "Upgrade
and pay only £X more per month and get such-n-such a speed"

From this I conclude that they've stolen bandwidth from the
impoverished Peters to provide extra bandwidth to the wealthy Pauls
who are prepared to pay more.

So I'm moving to BT, scheduled for Monday. Faster speeds promised,
we'll just have to see on that one, and even a little cheaper, only
downside is a usage cap of, IIRC, 20GB, whereas Eclipse was uncapped.

Indeed, however, I'm not sure I would completely trust an organization
with spelling errors on their website.
