Eclipse : 8Meg upgrade?

Just heard from Eclipse via email that existing subscribers are to be
offered the 8Meg service but on new terms; 40Gb/month usage.

So I guess I'll be staying on 2Meg unlimited until I find a new
service provider.

Any suggestions?

The 40gb is for peak time per month (6pm-12pm), it's unlimit off peak.

The fair usage policy currently relates to the Evolution Broadband service
only. The table below shows the number of gigabytes (GB) per month that
maybe transferred during peak hours which are from 6pm until midnight every
day.

Evolution Broadband Peak Limit Off Peak Limit
Option 1 20GB None
Option 2 30GB None
Option 3 40GB None
Option 4 50GB None

No, that's incorrect. 18:00-23:59 is 'peak'. By your figures, 12 pm is
18:00-12:00, which is clearly wrong.

Yes, i'm nitpicking, but it's not hard to type the time correctly.

You may be nitpicking - but you are also wrong. There is no 12am or 12pm
there are only 12 noon and 12 midnight - I refer you to:

Interesting, didn't know that.

Anyway, just for the avoidance of doubt; Eclipse's peak period is
defined as: 18:00-23:59.

But you're /wrong/..and it's only right to correct mis-information -
surely?
