This announcement affects all our customers except those who use the
COLT London ROMP.
 
I am pleased to announce that as part of the continual improvement to
the service offered by Demon Internet, an additional 1,000 access
lines are available for immediate use.
 
In order to ensure that these lines are correctly configured we are
inviting all our users outside London to participate in testing these
new lines.
 
These new lines are connected to the National Energis ROMP. Unlike our
existing Energis lines however, these lines are taking advantage of a
new Energis number commencing '0845'.
 
Access to these new lines uses the same telephone number throughout the
country:
 
    0845 079 8666
 
Please note - This is a National Local Call number and should be
              charged by your telephone service provider as a local
              call. It is the user's responsibility to confirm the
              actual charge rate with their provider.
 
            - At 11 digits, the number is longer than you might have
              come to expect.

            - ISDN access is not yet available on 0845 079 8667
              but is expected to be available by the end of August.
 
This new number is available for use immediately. When brought into
full service it will roughly double the number of lines available on
the Energis ROMP (NER).

Should you experience problems using this number, please email the
details to dialup.faults@demon.net. Please ensure you include as much
information as possible, particularly the first 7 digits of the number
from which you were calling.

We would be very interested in hearing feedback from our customers on
these new lines and invite you to forward your comments to
comment@demon.net. Please note that we can not undertake to reply to
every message, however I can assure you that they will all be
appreciated.
