I will have broadband up and running within the next few days
and as soon as I know its working I will be waving goodbye to
demon and all their packet loss problems - I hope:)

My only regret is going to be losing my web pages but hey
who cares with the 1700+ spam I get from demon Ive lost
interest anyhow.

My advice is to use a freeserve account to play EQ, its been
working fine for me over the past few weeks that demon's
had problems.
