I'd recommend eclipse, since they've provided me with a solid uncapped
and unfiltered 512kbit connection since broadband came to Midhurst.
They were at the top of the adslguide speed test when we got it, but
since they were bought out by kingston communications, it's slipped
down... I know a kingston employee, who told me that they've been
patching some of eclipse's bandwidth to their other
customers/brands (!%$£^*&).

I doubt you'd have any reason to cancel with them. They gave me a free
/30 and delegated reverse DNS to my nameserver, which is very nice of
them, but I'm not sure that's a guaranteed offer, maybe I just got a
technician that was in a good mood. :)

I've never tried it, since I'm usually patient enough to wait for
downloads... I guess if you download warez^W^W^W^W^Wlinux
distribution every so often it'd be useful. :)
