Demon will be participating in surftime from August.  From the
discussion I've seen there is no suggestion that a two hour cutoff will
be applied by Demon (there isn't one normally) or by anyone else.

My inclination would be to check independently if anyone at plus.net
told me the time of day.  Either they are simply making an excuse for
wanting to apply a two-hour limit themselves or there's something in it,
in which case it ought to be traceable to some BT small print.

I suppose the best way to get confirmation would be either demon.service
or uk.telecom, so I've crossposted this and we'll see what
happens...
