  • Eclipse Internet Shortlisted for PC Pro Best ISP Award Submitted By: KCOM Group Thursday, 17 September 2009
    Eclipse Internet shortlisted for PC Pro Best ISP award Submitted by: KCOM Group Thursday, 17 September 2009 Eclipse Internet has been shortlisted by readers of top industry publication, PC Pro, in the Best ISP category of the magazine’s Reliability & Service Awards. The Awards are based entirely on the readership’s experience of ISPs and are on the quality of service and products PC PRO readers have received, rather than just the number of votes received. This makes the title of Best ISP extremely sought after. Clodagh Murphy, Director of Eclipse said: “We would like to thank the readers of PC PRO for nominating us. This is especially rewarding as it is the experience of our customers that has resulted in us being shortlisted. It demonstrates our continued focus on delivering our business class service and reflects the dedication and continued hard work of the whole Eclipse team to put our customers first.” Eclipse has been shortlisted for the award alongside Be Internet, Freedom2surf, Nildram, O2, PlusNet, Sky, TalkTalk, Virgin Media and Zen Internet. In each category, readers are asked to rate the reliability of the products they have bought, customer support (if applicable), and how satisfied they are – in particular, if they would buy from that company again. This information is then combined to produce a numeric rating, and the company achieving the highest rating wins. Any companies that are hot on the winners’ heels receive a Highly Commended award. There are 18 categories in the Reliability & Service Awards and a further five finalists in the Editorial Awards, three focused on business, one for Environmental Innovator of the Year and one for Technology Innovator of the Year.

(“Vuze”), the undersigned e-mailed the attached material to Aaron Goldberger and Ian Dillner, both legal advisors to Chairman Kevin J. Martin. The material reflects the results of a recent study conducted by Vuze, in which Vuze created and made available to its users a software plug-in that measures the rate at which network communications are being interrupted by reset messages. The Vuze plug-in measures all network interruptions, and cannot differentiate between reset activity occurring in the ordinary course and reset activity that is artificially interposed by a network operator. While Vuze, therefore, has drawn no firm conclusions from its network monitoring study, it believes the results are significant enough to raise them with network operators and commence a dialog regarding their network management practices. Accordingly, Vuze has sent the attached letters to four of the network operators whose rate of reset activity appeared to be higher than that of many others.
