Demon latest to jump on the broadbandwagon

NEWS Demon has become the latest company to react to BT's cut in wholesale broadband internet prices by dropping the price of its own high-speed offering. Self-install ADSL will now be available via Demon for £28.99 per month, plus a one off fee of £50. Demon Express Solo, available from 18 March, will provide an always-on internet connection with up to 512Kb downstream bandwidth and 256Kb upstream. In a statement, Bill Allan, chief executive of Demon's parent Thus, said: "BT cutting the cost of DSL wholesale was a bold move and has enabled us to offer a compelling product to our customers. "We applaud BT's initiative yesterday and now encourage BT to be equally aggressive in unbundling the local loop to enable a greater range of services to be offered to 'Broadband Britain'."
