not only that, but it's very generous compared to some commercial
services.

[I'm using the term 'traffic' as an attempt to avoid misusing the term
'bandwidth'.]

Just over a year ago, when I last had cause to survey web space
providers there were some *in the USA* that were limiting customers to
figures like 200MB of traffic per month (and some were lower). This
'commercially-targeted' service also cost significantly more than
Demon charges us for service that centres around a dialup access
account.
