Hi
I have been with Demon now for 13 years and find the service good.
As well as a POP3 service, there is also a web based interface.
The only problem is with the billing department who are a bit chaotic!

Hi Chris
If you like many of us are stuck with using BT old copper wire
connections i.e. ADSL broadband then there is some choice. I'd suggest
you look at demon.co.uk. They've been in the business a very long time.
They were about when I had my account with Compuserve. Those were the
days. <smiles> We brought an ADSL modem from ebay. A power seller who
has help forums, telephone support and sells many referbished BT Voyager
modems and routers. His service is excellent. Just search for BT
Voyager and you'll find his shop.

have any equipment for broadband access, it would cost us too much initially
so far as i can tell. I know they would send you the equipment for free if
we stay with them for 12 months or more, but it's the case of whether we
like them or not, i don't know.
