As three other Demon users have pointed out here in uk.telecom.mobile,
the symptoms you describe sound like a general problem which is
affecting many customers using normal modems to dial in.  This is the
first time I have seen it mentioned for Orange access.

I have crossposted this to demon.service and have not set any followups,
to allow any other Orange Demon users not in demon.service into the
thread.  Demon.service is a group for the discussion of issues related
to Demon's service, and the problem of "network death" has been
discussed there for months.

If you would like to expand on exactly what you're seeing, the people of
demon.service will be able to confirm that it's the same problem or, if
it's not, hopefully pin it down to something more specific to do with
your setup and procedures.
