Award-winning ISP Eclipse Internet have announced an introductory pricing offer for their home broadband and server hosting packages.  This special offer will  help to counter the effects of new tax regulations on businesses and households alike, with prices for its business broadband, home broadband and managed server hosting packages heavily reduced for the first three months of a 12 month contract.

Eclipse, which was named Best Business ISP at last month’s Internet Service Provider Association (ISPA) Awards, has cut the cost of its broadband access services by up to 50 per cent for new customers who sign up before 6 May 2008.

Businesses can sign up to Eclipse’s Business Broadband Option 1 service for just £14.99 for the first three months (reverting to £19.99 per month thereafter), while the monthly charges for its Business Broadband Option 2 and Option 3 services have been halved to £19.99 per month and £24.99 per month respectively.

The prices of Eclipse’s most popular managed hosting services have also been halved. For the first three months of a 12 month contract, new customers can pay just £72.50 per month for Eclipse’s Managed Server Hosting Option 2 package (usually £145 per month) or £130 per month for its Option 3 package (usually £260 per month). Windows and Linux platforms are available with both packages.

Finally, consumers looking for great broadband deals are also set to benefit from the special offer, with Eclipse’s Home Broadband Option 1 and Option 2 packages available at £9.95 and £13.95 per month respectively for the first three months of a 12 month contract, down from £14.99 and £18.99.

Mark Thomas, Head of Sales and Marketing for Eclipse, said: “Our internet access products are renowned for providing users with fast, reliable broadband, while our managed server hosting packages offer businesses the peace of mind that comes with a 100 per cent service level guarantee.

“With the value for money that our current special offers represent, there’s never been a better time to switch to Eclipse.”

With broadband penetration becoming increasingly widespread, broadband providers are focusing more and more on the ’switchers’ rather than brand new customers. A common problem that we hear time and again is that of MAC codes and the issues that they cause in terms of being able to switch broadband provider quickly and efficiently online. We would estimate that broadband suppliers are losing thousands of sales through online switchers not realising that a MAC code is needed or having their MAC code available at the point of purchase. This disrupts the sales cycle and can therefore introduce an opportunity to reconsider which broadband provider a customer chooses. Customers are notoriously fickle with little brand loyalty, meaning the very fact that they have to obtain a MAC code before proceeding can have a negative effect on their perception of the provider that they initially opted for.
