Despite their eccentric and disfunctional accounting, I stick with Demon Thus because as they are slightly more expensive than most ISPs most people are put off joining them.
That means their systems aren't overloaded with subscribers, as the el cheapo ISPs are more likely to be, and that in turn means they have very generous "fair use" caps (60 Gbytes in a rolling 30 day period, and even if you make it onto the rogues' list your speed is only throttled down for a few days).

I'm guessing he's got some BACS search screen up ... no, no more guessing, I've kindly requested he does the necessary and escalate it, but he won't, so I certainly know I'm dealing with a cretin.
As if I don't have more pressing things to do, like posting on this board, for example.

To save a long diatribe listing the various incompetances they exhibit, just take it as read that I am now vented.

Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostDamn right. I've been with Demon Thus for years, as their service isn't too bad, and their accounts system is notoriously cranky. They only recently started taking card payments over the phone. One used to have to send a cheque, which was processed in India or something.
Yes, and this time they've sent me an email asking me for all my bank details. I looked at all the email headers 'cause I was like WTF! Nigerian scammers playing at being THUS accounts department now? But no, it really was THUS!
Really wish they'd just give me someone with a clue, which is what will happen eventually, just the same as last year, just the same as every year.
