Hi, Nelgin.

Oooh, I had definitely not forgotten about Demon Internet but the "tenner a month" slogan had well and truly left my brain! I (or more correctly, my parents) used Demon for a good while - not only a static IP but also a whatever.demon.co.uk subdomain, under which you could use as many e-mail addresses as you liked (in whoever@whatever.demon.co.uk format) and it would kick you SMTP when you came online... A really stand-out offering back in the day.
