I have been with Demon since 1997. In my area Plusnet offer 40 Mb for £16.49 pm and 80 Mb for £19.99 pm. Demon don't have LLU for this area and because of my distance from the exchange, with Demon I am limited to 4.5 Mb for my £18.60 pm. So it would have been a no brainer to switch anyway.
But over the last few months I have been getting ever more spam, from Canadian pharmacies, gambling sites, Nigerian 'bankers' etc. In the last few weeks it has spun out of control with 20 such messages every day. I have reported it and they claim there is nothing they can do.
I have been parallel running with Plusnet for the last nine months and so far have had no spam on their service.
The reason I have been parallel running is that Demon insisted on 2 year notice to quit despite my being one of their longest suffering customers. Three more weeks and I am out at last!
