I could do with more space. Even after weeding out all my dead files,
and farming 8MB of downloadables out to a folder in a free Yahoo
account, I still only have 500KB of free space left. Other ISPs seem to
offer about 50MB of webspace nowadays, only free services such as Yahoo
limit you to 20-30MB.

Of course if I were to double the size of my site I'd have to start
monitoring the bwusage more carefully, and I wonder if it's the traffic
implications rather than disk space which is what is deterring Demon
from offering more space. Surely the cost of hard disks can't be an
issue, as at current prices an extra 20MB each would only cost Demon 2p
per customer in capital outlay, and then only where it was actually
taken up.

I would never contemplate getting a second dialup account just to get
extra space - if I got that desperate I would switch to a more generous
ISP (I think Pipex give you 50MB don't they?); as it is I'm too lazy at
present and still feel inclined to follow the "better the devil you
know" philosophy - I mean how can I be sure that other ISP's aren't even
worse than Demon for overstrained resources, packet loss problems, etc?
