Net loss

addedentry and I are having persistent network problems. We're on Eclipse; if anybody else on Eclipse is having similar problems, we'd like to hear from you, except we can't guarantee to be able to check our email. If you're not on Eclipse and have any recommendations for a good, reliable, affordable ISP, we'd even more like to hear from you.

The chap from Tech Support says that the problem is that the series of tubes pipes are getting clogged, and if we disconnect and then reconnect, we might (randomly) connect to an unclogged pipe. What next: the screen getting fogged up with electrosmog?

Meanwhile, if you want to contact us urgently, phone/txt is probably a better option than email. Phone numbers are on Facebook!

We have exactly the same service as that, and I find the modem disconnects fairly frequently (varying from every few days to several times a day), but I suspect that's because I'm using old ADSL hardware. I've observed slowness sometimes, but never anything that made the Internet unusable - and it seems fairly reasonable given we chose the lowest of the four options. I don't know if anything went badly wrong over this weekend in particular as I was away.
