Demon Unmetered Delayed Again!

 

By:zeon @ 4:04:PM GMT - October 8,2000 - Comments (0) - Send news [HERE] Thanks to David for informing us that Demon are going to delay their Surftime products again. The launch date is now October 16th. Here is part of the e-mail:

 

"As you will be aware we had hoped to launch our Surftime access
products on Monday 9th. October.

 

I regret to inform you that, after extensive testing, we are
not yet satisfied with the reliability of the service.

 

Whilst we share and understand the disappointment this will
cause, we believe it would be wrong to launch a service that
does not provide the quality of service expected by our
customers. We do however firmly believe that we will be able to
launch in the coming week."

 

Well hopefully after the extra 7 days of waiting Demon will launch a good unmetered service.

This deal sounds as if it could be better than ADSL.  You could potentially run Dual channel ISDN on a "Premier Connect Plus" account, giving you free 24/7 access with a full 128k bandwidth at a contention ratio of 1:1.  Beats BT's 512k @ 50:1, even beats 512k @ 20:1.

 

Correct me if I am wrong.

Looking here...

I'd need to spend 40 quid a month to get free 24/7 access.

Hmmmmmm.
