   I ordered the upgrade from dial-up to ADSL, Demon then took about a month
to pass the order on to BT, and BT completed the upgrade within two or three
days, well before the date given by Demon. I received the printed
instructions in good time, so my ADSL modem was in position some time before
the connection was made. The LED stopped flashing, so I followed the
instructions and had it all working a few days before Demon notified me by
email that it was available.
