Thats strange, Eclipse were looking for more sales staff and technicians, I 
even applied for a tech support post there, two agencies were dealing with the 
same role.  Hardly seems worth it for advertising for staff if they move out 
of Exeter.

I also used to use Eclipse (for about 10 months from when they started the 
wires only ADSL trials), I've lost count of how many ISP's I've used over the 
past few years.  I liked their tech support staff, helpful with a sense of 
humour, especally when I phoned up one saying that my SpeedTouch Home modem 
wouldn't connect, they laughed when I said I'd hacked the firmware to turn it 
into a SpeedTouch Pro :-)

Is Telewest any good at the moment?  I'm on the lookout for a new ISP, and 
cable seems more attractive price wise than ADSL for me.
