Demon Internet

Demon Internet is one of the UK’s earliest internet service providers. In addition to consumer & business broadband services, Demon also offers security, hosting, data and voice services. Demon broadband packages come with good speeds and unlimited downloads, and are highly recommended for professionals and businesses.

Broadband Features

Demon has been a favorite among users with specific technical requirements in the field of business. There is no installation charges involved for 12 month contracts. You may use your existing BT phone lines and pay the line rentals. Demon does not supply hardware and you will have to fetch your own modem or router. Demon’s home office packages come with a static IP address.

Speeds and Data Caps

While there has been a considerable change in the data allowance or bandwidth offered by other leading ISP’s in the market, there has not been much from Demon on these lines. Demon’s home broadband packages come with speeds ranging from 8 Mbit/s to 20 Mbit/s and data caps of 50 GB or 60 GB per month.

Excess Usage Fee

Demon does not charge for excess usage but you can expect to see a steep drop in the speed, to as low as 128 Kbit/s during the peak hours between 9am and 11pm.

Demon Internet – History and Current Market Status

I have been with Demon for more than twelve years and recently they capped my service. Apparently I was 1gb over their FUP so they capped me. No notice, no friendly 'you are near your limit' just a capped service. They also upgraded me to ADSL2+ without notice or agreement. They changed my billing sequence thereby extending my contract with them arbitrarily by another 7 months. Again no notice or approval sought. The modem that I was using was unstable with ADSL2+, Demon's customer service said, "sorry you need to talk to the modem supplier". I had to buy a new modem to facilitate the change to ADSL2+, an expense I could well have done without. Demon were unconcerned. I am no longer with Demon
