Re: BT Broadband 2MB....a good deal?

[Dave McLaughlin <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Darren

I use Eclipse for my broadband and although the 2Mb connection is more
costly than you paid before, I have found there service to be excellent
and trouble free.
You also get a static IP without additional costs and no bandwidth
limits either.
You can go for the 1Mb flex option which allows you to jump up to the
2Mb connection as and when you need it. I only do this when I have a
large download. Most of the time, the 1Mb connection is fine for every
day use.
