    Try another ISP. Demon will not support USR Sportster modems running
    at 33600. 

  I'm afraid you've run foul of Demon's less than honest publicity.

   (100% coverage - but at suboptimal speeds if you have a Sportster)
   (33.6 support  - but not for Sportsters)
   (33.6 support  - but bandwidth less than at 28000)
   (full news feed - sometimes)
   (free home pages - so long as nobody visits them)
