If you accept that Demon is where it started (and if you put the word
"affordable" in there then I'd agree as I have a feeling Pipex offered a
much more expensive dial up service at the time) then the beginning of
Demon Internet was in a CIX conference, if you insist on the physical
location then I have a feeling it was a boiler room at the Demon Systems
building and not a garage anyway.  demon.service added so that Those Who
Know can shed some light.
