Eclipse have been very good with me also - except for their billing 
department - which sucks.

I'm in two minds about eclipse - they're no longer the fastest ISP in 
the UK - Zen hold that crown. They went from 1st to about 7th/8th in 
the space of a month - coincidentally, the same month Kingston Comms 
purchased them.

I don't like it when ISP's get brought out... it scares me. At least it 
wasn't that colossal waste of space Thus PLC that purchased them tho :)

SDSL in Horsham would rock, however :)

Problem is, I doubt that 9 registrations is going to be enough - 
considering the lowest reg value for ADSL was about 150 people - and 
that required something like a 98% takeup once they confirmed they'd 
make the switch.

You could always look at bonded ADSL, or a leased line. I know that 
AAISP do bonded ADSL, and I know a few people that use it, and they 
rate it very highly... http://www.aaisp.net/

According to a certain Mr Butler, we should be getting SDSL in Horsham 
in the next few months (If I recall our convo correctly) - else he gets 
a free plasma TV! Let's hope he's correct :)
