New customers signing up to Eclipse Broadband (www.Eclipse.net.uk) can get up to £100 worth of high street vouchers when they connect.
The offer, which is available to all new customers, is running until 14 December and will ensure that all new home or small business broadband customers will be connected by Christmas and receive their vouchers in time for the January sales.
The superfast broadband trial uses BT Broadband's (www.BT.com) 21 Century Network, fibre to the cabinet (FTTC) technology to deliver download speeds at up to 40Mb and uploads as fast as 5Mb.
Clodagh Murphy, Eclipse director, said: “Christmas is a time of year when it is spend, spend, spend but at Eclipse we want to give something back to our new customers for choosing us. The vouchers are our way of saying thank you and giving our new customers a reason to celebrate beyond Christmas Day.”
Home customers can receive between £30 and £50 of vouchers depending on the package they choose, which can be used at over 60 major high street retailers, including Argos, Currys, Debenhams and Toys R Us. Business customers can get between £20 and £100 of vouchers depending on their package.
Eclipse’s Home Select package - which offers customers £30 of vouchers - comes with speeds of up to 24Mb and a 10GB monthly download allowance for £17.95 a month, while its Home Pro tariff - which offers £50 of vouchers - which also comes with superfast broadband, has a massive 50GB download allowance and free overnight downloads, for £29.95 a month.
“We want our customers to have such a good customer experience that they recommend us,” added Clodagh. “When we receive a new customer through recommendation, it is the greatest indication that our customers are happy with our service.”
Michael Phillips, Broadbandchoices.co.uk product director, said: “Eclipse Broadband packages are great for anyone who wants a high end broadband service, with fast, reliable download speeds. Its Pro package - which comes with a high download allowance as well as free overnight downloads - is perfect for gamers and heavy downloaders.
“It also promises no speed restrictions and even offers customers the option to customise their connection, to meet their personal internet needs.”
