May I remind users of the London points of presence that several of the
London numbers will be closing on Wednesday August 14th.

Please ensure that you have updated your system to access our service
using the number listed below if you are affected by this.

Any customer still experiencing difficulty can receive an updated
document on connecting to the Ascend terminal servers by pointing
their web browsers at <http://www.demon.net/news/colt/ascend.html> or
sending an email to 'support@demon.net' with the subject line
'send ascend'. In the event that problems are still being experienced
after following this advice, please contact our support desk on
0181 371 1010.

The following is a repeat of the earlier announcement to remind users
of the need to transfer to the new COLT ROMP.

                       ---oooOOOooo---

As part of Demon Internet's on-going commitment to customer care, we are
pleased to announce that our new COLT London ROMP is now operational.

This will have a major impact to our customers because the introduction
of the COLT London ROMP has immediately doubled the number of lines
previously available. There will also be many more new lines to follow
as Demon Internet continue to broaden and upgrade your service.

You should take note if your telephone number starts with any of the
following:

0171    0181
01322   01372   01689   01707   01708
01727   01737   01753   01784   01883
01895   01923   01932   01959   01992

The new COLT London ROMP (CLR) will amalgamate and replace the current
London and Reigate PoPs and also the London tPoP. The new number is live
and you should immediately alter your modem connection to:

0171 664 0666

The three old numbers, 0181 338 9666, 0181 343 4848, 01737 509666, are
due to close shortly, and you must enable your modem connection to the
CLR before 14th. August 1996. Naturally the new number is still charged at
BT local call rates, so your telephone costs will be unchanged.

May we remind users that have the old numbers listed on BT Friends and
Family or similar schemes of the need to update their list.

The COLT London ROMP uses Ascend modems. You should experience no
difficulty whatsoever in making the change, however if you do find any
problems please email support@demon.net with the subject "send ascend".

Should your telephone number not start with one of the codes stated
above, please ignore this announcement.

We trust that you will continue to enjoy your Demon Internet account.
