Hi Alex BT will remind you of your contractual obligations if you decide to leave. It's the same with any other provider. If you want out then you are asked to pay off the remainder of your agreement. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi David, many thanks for this. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David W Wood" <g3yxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2008 13:30:30 +0100 Subject: [access-uk] Re: BroadbandHi 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!

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. Gena On Thu, 2008-06-19 at 11:19 +0100, christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote:> Hi dave, many thanks for this.
