Daniel,
I’ve had ADSL for over a year
now,
and have yet to see the bandwidth drop below 470K (using http://www.zdnet.co.uk/misc/band-test/speedtest500.html)
Are your experiences the
same?
Tim.

ADSL
Personally
I am very happy with the eclipse wires only deal, there service is good, I
haven't had a need to speak to the helpdesk, as the activation was done so
quickly, and everything was easy to install and run.
Bear
in
mind that as of April Eclipse will be approx 27 per
month.
I
have
one splitter installed, and then the output of this put into my patch panel
as
you describe. voice is then over structured cabling, round the
house.
I
use it
permanently on, and I haven't had any problems with disconnection, it seems
to
run and run, and I can access my server it from work
too:-)
Overall
a very happy (ducks) ADSL customer....

ADSL
Guys,
about to take the plunge and order the ADSL for
the
house - looks like I'll go for the eclipse wires only package and buy a
router
/ modem. Just wanted to confirm with those guys that are using the
service that the level of service is good, and that this is the correct
option
to eventually run CWI etc. I'm a bit out of depth here so help
me.
My understanding is that I cannot run ADSL from the pipex deal, so the
extra
couple of quid to get the static IP's and no port blocking is the way to
go.
Did those of you manage to get around the splitter
on
every extension successfully by using the patch panel method and running
your
extensions out over the structured wiring with cat 5. I will already have
the
rats tail adaptor by the end of the week, so swmbo will complain if these
adaptors are daisy chained from every phone 'ahem... cat 5
socket'?
Hardware options seem to be from seg.co.uk or are
there any better offers out there?
James what did you get and what's the
verdict?
Would preferably like something with a built in firewall so that I have a
bit
of peace of mind, but built in hub isn't too important as I presume I can
just
uplink to my existing hubs - is this correct.
Last thing anybody want their name on the referred
by
box on the eclipse order form?
Thanks,
Steve
