Demon Review please

Read recently that Demon Internet are growing fast and their company has announced profits this year. I really have no experience with them, so would appreciate if someone helps by sharing their experience about Demon.

At £19.99 and £24.99, their ADSL packages are not the cheapest in the market though, but I am willing to pay if their service is much better than others.

I do not think they are worth the money. My friend had Demon and he switched over because the connection kept dropping.

Not a very friendly name is it? - Demon!

You are not going to have too many taker for demon , but they have announced profits , but I would not really think of taking a package with them , if you view this forum you will find better providers

I use demon on the £24.99, they are very good. Very reliable, only ever once had downtime. Fast, I could get up to 8mbps if I was close enough but distance from the exchange means I only get 1.5mbps.

I get 60gb bandwidth, and they only slow excess users down in peak periods rather than crucifying you constantly. I would certainly never switch, and am happy to recommend anyone to sign up with them.

I have friends who live in DSL areas who use Demon, and they are very happy with them - they do seem to have issues with speeds, but they have a reliable connection, and they seem quite happy with both the billing and the tech support.

If I had a BT phone line I'd probably consider using them based on the things I've heard.

We use demon in work the service is fine unless there is a problem then you have to go through a 2 hr wait for a support line!

I have 8Mb broadband from Demon since September. All the time connection speed is low. Recommended by Demon support speed test (speedtester.bt.com), showing how bad service they provide. In 65% of tests actual IP throughput achieved was below 800kbps!!! (2 weeks of testing, 4 times a day). But the best part of story is: they want me to pay almost 400 pound for 4 ADSL modens. I have only 1(in contract -for free), and I've never ordered any more!!!

Demon is one of the ISPs that have considerably improved the customer satisfaction level according to a consumer report.

Of course they don't. They really don't care about getting our custom because it's not what they're primary market is, they are a business ISP and that is where they make money.
