cerbera Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 OK guys, moving into my new pad at the w/e and having to get new phone line put in by BT. Have checked and there's no cable broadband in the area, just ADSL available. After wading through some of the posts and looking online I'm thinking that I'm going to use Demon for my 1Mb (leaving behind my 4Mb Telewest BB.... ) ADSL. They seem to constantly do well with regards speed/reliabilty (I work from home alot)and customer service. Anyone here use them and have opinions ? 1st Experience very good - phone answered within 3 rings, very helpful bloke and knew his stuff. Could obviously get BT 1MB BB too, so curious as to what people think about them? Have to admit that girl on phone was extremely helpful organising the phone line install, but I've had bad experiences with BT in the past and am loathe to give them any more money than I have to.... I did try plusnet, but they don't answer their bl**dy phones and I gave up. JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chav Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 my BT ADSL has only failed once (wiring problem after a bad storm) and BT fixed it within hours. service has always been excellent. and ADSL has been as reliable as my NTL cable broadband used to be. (and i'm >5km from the exchange too, so could be prone to probs more than usual) i cant fault it at all really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cerbera Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 ok, cheers CJ Mollox - they are £5 more p/m for the same service though ? Sell it to me then punk as I'm thinking this seems like as good a deal as any ? I'd use the electronic fac malarky too, working from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanHo Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 IMHO Demon are great, used them for about 9 years dial-up, ADSL and commercial. You get nice features like a fixed IP address, SMTP mail feed etc. Not the cheapest but does what it say's on the tin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollox Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 They've been Thus for quite a while. I'm trying to work out if they're better or worse off now a certain person isn't looking after their main pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
