Announcement: Demon Internet's Phase 1 PoP Expansion

5th July 1995.

We are now in a position to announce further details of our phase 1 expansion.

New vPoPs are being installed at the following 43 locations. We have been given a date of August 20th by Energis for these; hopefully this will be able to be brought forward. The vPoP telephone numbers are not being announced at this time: they will be announced separately on the day that they go "live".

A new tPoP is also being installed in Maldon (Essex). We do not yet have an opening date for this tPoP.

The Bradford/Hull tPoP ("tyr") will be closing on July 31st. With a few exceptions (see below), all customers covered by this tPoP will be covered by one of the new vPoPs. Demon Internet will not offer any compensation for the loss of local call access during the gap.

Customers in the Hartlepool (01429) and Northwich (01606) areas lost local call access when the Sunderland and Warrington tPoPs closed, and received a year's free membership in compensation. All these customers will have local coverage from a new vPoP, and Demon Internet reserve the right to start charging for these accounts as soon as the new vPoPs are active.

Customers in the Market Weighton (014308) and Hornsea (019645) areas will lose local access when Bradford/Hull closes, and will not be covered by one of the new vPoPs. These customers are entitled to apply for a year's free membership in compensation. Customers in Hull itself are not entitled.
