Oh dear, Barry is shooting from the hip again.
GoTo www.demon.net or ftp.demon.co.uk and read their AUP.

Basically you gets what you pays for.

A TAM account gets you an ordinary dialup ( POTS or ISDN ) account, plus 
a chance at their helpline.  this costs you �120 PA +vat

Add an extra �200 PA for your own domain name.
Note that so far there are no guarantees.

For �1200 PA, which is peanuts for most business users, you get a 'Network isdn'
account which gets you a router, a flock of IP addresses, a domain name,
and most of all a GRADE OF SERVICE AND SUPPORT. This means a separate set of
numbers, a separate helpdesk, space on a 'commercial' web server, and
separate 'preferred' routers.

For �7200 PA you get a permanent 64K business grade connection. 
IOW, less than the tea boy is costing for a permanent connection.

The sales staff make it VERY clear to you -- If the Internet is important
to your business take the business grade account - otherwise take your chances
with the 'ordinary users'.
