demon

hi there,
demon is really not worth the money, got 2mbit uncapped DSL internet
but what do i really get is 256k internet downstream. i read a lot of comments here and it seemed that a lot of people subscribed in Mid september and since then everything is going down.
 
There's a statement from Demon over at ADSLG on the issue of poor speeds: ADSLGuide

This bit worried me the most:
at times, users of Broadband services may experience service levels that are more reflective of the contention ratio they are paying for.
It looks like Demen went on the same customer services training course as Central Point, since this is exactly what CP said to me when I complained about poor speeds. :laugh:

hi, yes i received exactly the same automated message as the adsl report when i emailed them.....must say i am dissapointed
 
Sorry to hear about your slow speeds, I have Demon ADSL 2mb uncapped and its flying, so this problem does seem to be with exchange contention.


Saha what website are you using to test the speed?

Try this one http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/

Also remember depending on your distance from the exchange you might not even be getting 2mb in the first place, Demon will go to the maximum your line can handle.

Depends what package you are on. Demon Homeoffice2000 is not affected, but Demon Home2000 is total pants between 4pm and well after midnight. If you are on the Home2000, then you must be the only person I know who is getting good speeds.
 
It has nothing to do with my exchange, slow down only happerns when i reach the demon servers :crap: and tracerts prove this.

demon poor speed

It´s strange he complaints of demon started mid september, seemed
to be that a lot of people subscribed because of good reviews in the past.
Maybe they cannot cope with the new number of customers. When I surf in the morning I get 1,7mbit which is satisfying but till the evening time its getting slower and ended by less the 300k. If this still continues I am cutting my direct debit because of not delivered service. I am paying 19,99 for 2mbit for the whole day.
Anyone interested to form a protest against them.

cheers
 
there is another forum on another isp review site, will not name lol. lots of people have got together there.
