I only moved to ISDN in August but before that used normal dial-up. I
actually found Demons service 1st rate - always got a connection 1st time,
rarely had a connection drop on me. However I will say that I did change my
dial out phone line from my original one as that had a lot of noise on it
and the connection subsequently was not very good.
