Introducing Demon Internet

14th September 1995

Demon Internet is one of the UK's largest, fastest-growing Internet providers in the UK, and the pioneer of low-cost Internet connectivity.

At just GBP 10 (+VAT) per month, plus an one-off start-up fee of GBP 12.50(+VAT), the company offers full Internet access to approximately 40,000 customers in the UK. There are no online costs, or other hidden charges.

All Demon Internet's services provide a direct connection to the Internet, a full read-write Usenet news feed, multiple mail addresses, unlimited on-line time and no volume usage charges.

Demon Internet's low-costs have never compromised the quality of service the company offers. Demon Internet is announcing shortly that it will provide access to the Internet at local-call rates for the entire UK.

Demon Internet is swiftly increasing its modems, with 500 additional modems installed in September, and a further 1,000 planned for the Autumn, to provide the fastest, most efficient service possible.

Demon Internet has another accolade - it is the UK's most experienced dial-up Internet service provider. Opening an account with the company brings the following benefits:

* Full access to the Internet direct from your own computer, allowing you to run whatever Internet programmes you want - including graphical programmes like NetScape or Mosaic - without having to connect to another machine to do your work.

* Access to Demon Internet's network by dialling a local number from over 800 locations throughout the UK, helping to cut telephone costs

* A unique address on the Internet for your computer, allowing you to create as many user names as you like as part of the standard service

* Access to all the different news discussion groups (currently over 14,000) via Demon Internet's local News server. This provides one of the largest selections of newsgroups publicly available anywhere in the UK.

* Access files and other information anywhere in the world, using Demon Internet's high speed international links and the Demon FTP server to speed access to the most popular files.

* Choose from a huge range of software to connect your computer to the Demon Internet service, including Demon Internet's own programmes for access from PC compatible computers.

* Demon Internet has hundreds of lines for dial-up usage around the UK. It also has its own private international leased lines to the USA and interconnects with all other UK providers for full UK coverage. The company is a member of CIX (Commercial Internet Exchange), and so offers commercial connectivity to the whole of the rest of the Internet.

In addition to all of this, Demon Internet is committed to spending over GBP 2 million on infrastructure upgrading between now and the end of the year, so that all our customers get the best possible service at an affordable price.

More information on Demon Internet and the company's developments will be announced shortly.
