Title: Has Eclipse ISP been taken over.
Post by: tickmike on October 09, 2014, 10:55:13 PM
I have been with Eclipse ISP for some time now but looking at the website tonight think it seemed to have changed  :o
I could mainly see Business products  :( and could not find there 'Home fibre' range of broadband  >:D
Any news ?

This is not good  :( .
I may be moving !.
I've sent them a PM to see what's what.
Been a bit dearer than a lot of ISP's but been 99% service and very good support.

Edit ..re ..'Yeah they got taken over by KC a few years back (Kingston Communications)' When I was looking for another isp all those years ago I found that KC owned them and as KC are an older telecom company that BT that why I went with Eclipse.  ;)

So a FTTC  connection with a measly 10GB usage for £40 a month...who is that with,it seems expensive for such a small download usage.

Taken from a tweet,

Eclipse Internet ‏@EclipseInternet

We’re still offering connections to new home customers through our customer service team, coupled with the same great service.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes but what price, in a email to me they said they have always been business isp. !
Before I leave them and when our FTTC is fitted out and work I will see if they will do any special deal's with me  :fingers:

It should read October  :-[
Last year I asked about getting a loyalty price from them and for two year contract I got about £10 off   ;D as we did not think we would ever get any type of 'Fibre' around here.
