Janet I had problems with Demon, especially when a well known troll who used
to post here accused me of posting something which was posted by someone
else and Demon took their side :-(

They only backed down and gave me an apology when it got to the threat of a
Solicitor and I proved to them that it wasn't me and explained the
situation.

Both Demon and said troll are now out of my hair. You can live without
Demon. Get shot of them once and for all and go elsewhere.

Merry Christmas and Happy and peaceful New Year

Mike

After many man years I kicked Demon into touch earlier this year and
went with the oft maligned BT. Looking at the shambolic state of
affairs with Demons new e-mail stem and now news I think I did the right
thing.

I left Demon in 2003 having been with them for around 5 years. It was
the two successive Great News Snaffus that made me start looking for
someone more reliable.

After a couple of abortive trials with other ISPs I moved to Plusnet
who have, in the main been sound. For those that need to take
advantage of it they do have very good support.

They have just launched some interesting competitive packages - 5.99 a
month for 10GB or 9.99 per month for ~unlimited~ usage. They also do
some good phone inclusive deals, one of which i have just moved to.

I second that, they are not the cheapest but one of the best, IMHO.

Use
news.eternal-september.org

or pay £10/annum and use
news.individual.net

Agreed. BTW news.individual.net is EUR10/year or about eight squid not
ten. Very effective spam filering on news.idividual.net as well, like I
only see spam when someone reposts or follows up to it.

+1, news.individual.net filters so well we forget how bad it can be
otherwise.
