Well Gareths suggestion was one of the ones that I looked into (and 
subsequently signed up for) when I was looking for a better deal.

I also initially signed up for the same thing i.e. 1024/256, static IP 
(yes I've also been allocated 6 - it's free but you do have to ask), etc 
etc - strangely enough, when I read Gareths reply,  although my service 
_WAS_ the 1024/256 one, it reminded me of something so having just 
checked - as the "flex" service was originally so that you could speed 
things up on a temporary basis, mine has obviously been upgraded and now 
can't be "flexed" as it's permanently at 2048/256 - which is fine (i.e. 
same price).

The one problem was recent (check the archives at the register), it did 
last some hours, but settled down to be the usual reliable service - I'm 
happy with it.

Eclipse is actually owned by Kingston (the "phones" round Hull) - but 
based in Exeter.

p.s. Gareth, check your account, as it also may have been upgraded to 
the 2 meg service so theres no flex charges now!
