Seems OK for =A319.99 pm, and according to the website, it's unlimited.
Can't get hold of their customer services to confirm this (seems
doubtful) but does anyone have any direct experience or knowledge
please? Quite keen to sign up, but not if ther's some kind of hidden
cap or speed restriction. Thanks - Peter

On 26 Jun, in article
The demon.* newsgroups are pretty widely available on news servers,
though demon.service does tend to get problem reports. Go through
Google and you can get a pretty good picture of things.
On caps, you've nothing to worry about. Well, no more than anywhere
else; any company can change what they permit. If they say unlimited,
they're not setting any limits. But check the contention ratio.

reliable and uncapped service not having to worry about anything ;)

I'm sure I read they were reducing their prices on 2005/06/01 but from the
current charges, I'm far from surprised that the OP is looking at cheaper
alternatives. Given Demon (for 19.99) and Plus.Net (for 14.99 or 21.99)
will provide 'as fast as your line will cope with' (ie up to 2000 kbps),
why would someone want to pay 21.27 for 500 kbps, 25.52 for 1000 kbps, or
29.78 for 2000 kbps (and all PLUS VAT)... Still, I see one can have 8 IP
addresses with Zen, and there are plenty of supporters willing to pay the
fees, so they must be doing 'OK' at worst :-) Peter M.

Because it's £15 a month more I guess :-) I used to be with Zen,
they're a very, very good ISP but having jumped ship recently to save a
bit of money, so far I've no regrets.
The only downside I can see with the Demon offer is I think it's a 12
month contract, I'm always wary of those unless you can "buy out" simply
by paying back the subsidised connection cost.
cheers,
Paul

Demon has never capped their broadband. The difference between Home and
HomeOffice (apart from expense) is the Home BB used dynamic IP
addressing, and HomeOffice static. There is a few other differences.
Customer services work Monday to Friday 08.00 am to 5.00 pm.

Hi Peter
I use Demon, and would highly recommend them.
I can confirm that there are no restrictions / no caps - either upload or
download.

FWIW, while AAISP has some pretty hard downloading limits on some accounts
for a small radio/audio streaming service, they don't count upload traffic
so pumping out your webcam or audio would seem fine with them... They've a
good reputation for networking and I've seen no complaints about staff.
[ Probably no interest to original poster, but my 2p about www.aa.nu :-]
