As well as having access to high speed broadband and the ability to customise the connection, we’ve included additional benefits including everything from free telephone calls to an automated backup service for home computers.”

The next package called Home Select offers users download speeds of up to 10GB per month and will cost users a three month offer of £12.95 and £15.95 thereafter. This package also comes with a free router. The highest level residential package offering 50GB monthly download allowance, and costs £22.95 for the first three months.

One industry official stated: “With Eclipse’s new super-fast download speeds, customers will have to be even more careful not to exceed their download allowance as each extra GB costs £1.25. Luckily, customers can log into their Eclipse control panel to check how much they’ve used, and will also receive emails warning them when they’ve reached 50 per cent, 75 per cent and 90 per cent of their monthly download allowance.”
