I tried Demon on exactly that package. I told them i wanted at least 70hrs a 
week ( i didn't even ask for permenant ) and they would not give me any 
assurance that it would be within their "acceptable use". I'm still waiting a 
response , some two months later , as to if 70hrs is acceptable use.

I'm also concerned about the ratio of modems to people. Whilst i don't have 
any problems at the moment with Freeserve , i remember the bad old days of 
engaged lines for hours on end with Screaming.net ( World Online , then 
Tiscali ). Plusnet's �100 a month package is a 1:1 ratio , i get my own 
personal modem. My company prefers that because the clock is ticking from the 
moment a problem is reported , i usually have between an hour and three hours 
to fix a problem , if not were fined 74k per unresolved problem. Thats a lot 
of money and "i couldn't get online" doesn't cut much ice if we fail to meet 
the deadline.

Thanks anyway,
