Eclipse blocking torrents? - Page 4

Yup - custom PTR is the reverse DNS lookup (which, as you correctly say, you need for email).

These seem to be the closest to your price bracket:

Zen 8000 Active - 20GB - 1 or 8 static IP - £24.99
Zen 8000 Pro - 50GB - 1 or 8 static IP - £34.99

Aye, PTR is the reverse DNS.

With Zen you can either have a single static IP address or a /29 subnet (block of 8 IP's which ends up giving you 5 usable once you take away the base address, broadcast address & router IP address).

Hey, in the last few minutes I can connect to trackers again *sigh*

Ahh right, I only have a single static at the moment and I can see the logic behind having a bank of five, but not with my current router. I assume there's no reason not to have them though, and just use the one.

I'll see the response of the ticket I've logged with Eclipse and then request a MAC code once they give me some bollocks back about the FUP.

It's a shame, Eclipse used to regularly be rated the best for both performance and customer service on adslguide. They've been going gradually downhill for a while now, since Kingston took them over.

It's a shame when a takeover happens the service level all too often ends up at the lowest common denominator (from what I've heard Kcomm have never been good).

I'm on the Home max 30 service and I can't really fault it. Web pages are snappy during peak times, most of the time during peak (8-10pm) my downloads are still over 300k.

Peak is 8 am to 10 pm
I just set my downloads to go overnight, to get through 300gb in a month, thats some serious downloading !!

Ahh, I was looking at the wrong page. That seems the way to go on their Home Max 60 service. As long as they can give me reverse dns settings then that's what I want.

I've mailed their support.

Feek · 27-09-2007, 09:41

And I got a reply within 12 minutes saying that they do.

MAC requested.

Feek · 27-09-2007, 09:46

And my ticket with Eclipse has been updated:

Dear Feek,

We have not made any block on the P2P traffic. Please can you advise if the issue is connecting to peers or the throughput of data once connected.

Thanks

BS.

Damn straight. I wouldn't tolerate that either.

They have been good when I have contacted them. For info they are an Entanet reseller. When I get home I will post the link that allows you to monitor your usage (from entanet)
