Broadband ISP Eclipse Internet has more than doubled the usage allowances of its business focused 40Mbps (2-10Mbps uploads) speed "superfast" fibre optic broadband packages, which are based off BT's new Fibre-to-the-Cabinet ( FTTC ) technology. BT hopes to reach 40% of homes by 2012 with the product, rising to 66% in 2015.

The service itself became one of the first such products to launch in April 2010, although many balked at the £39.95 per month starting price for its 50GB (GigaByte) usage allowance package (Eclipse Fibre). However that has now been raised to 100GB and the Eclipse Fibre Pro option has also risen from 60GB to 200GB!

Each package also comes with Static IP's and 10 mailboxes (250MB storage, per mailbox). At that price the services are now more viable for heavy residential users too, although it's still too expensive to compete on the domestic playing field.
