UK ISP Demon Internet (THUS) has today announced the introduction of their new uncapped 'Home 500' broadband ADSL service for £19.99 inc. VAT per month:
THUS plc today launched Demon 'Home 500', an always on, unrestricted broadband service providing unlimited high-speed Internet access with no download limitations. The un-capped service is ideal for home users, home workers and small offices who want a fast connection to download content such as music, videos and presentations, without worrying about exceeding usage limits and incurring additional costs outside the monthly fee.
The launch of Demon 'Home 500' comes as the Office for National Statistics reports that the total proportion of always-on broadband connections in the UK has reached 31%, surpassing the 29% of UK Internet users still subscribed to unmetered dial-up (source ONS July 2004 report). As well as having the benefits of an always-on connection and unrestricted broadband service, Home 500 is competitively priced at the fixed monthly fee of £19.99 (inclusive of VAT).
Available exclusively through Demon's website (www.demon.net/realbroadband), the Home 500 service delivers a high-performance connection with a downstream bandwidth of 500Kbps. In addition to flat rate unlimited Internet access, the service also offers unlimited email addresses - ideal for families and small businesses - as well as protection from unsolicited email with free Demon Spam Filtering. Customers also benefit from piece of mind that technical support is on hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"With email and Internet usage very much a part of everyday life, people don't want to be restricted by when and how much they access the Internet," said Nigel Stevens, Product Director at THUS plc. "Demon 'Home 500' offers a fast, reliable and unrestricted broadband service to home and small business users at a very affordable price. There are no caps on usage, meaning there will be no surprise bills. This is key for home workers and small businesses wanting to maintain control over their Internet costs."
Home 500 is the latest offering from THUS's Demon branded communications portfolio, which includes Internet access, hosting and telephony services. Demon Home 500 is available from October 2004 from http://www.demon.net .
