Might want to check how far you are from your nearest exchange as that would seriously impact the speed. Also it's a 50:1 contention so up to 49 other people could be using the same line.

Re: I am tempted
Demon are pretty reputable as an ADSL provider.
Is it much cheaper than TW? If it isn't and your TW supply is good, then it might not be worth the risk. You could switch and it is awful.

Yeah they only tell you certain details though, it's always a good idea to get more info before thinking too hard about switching

Contention - The service is contended at 50:1 (ie up to 49 other users could share the bandwidth).
* Access to our top 2Mbps connection (maximum speed downstream) is dependent on the proximity of your telephone connection to the BT exchange.

Like I said, best check how far from the exchange you are. If you are far enough away to impact speeds you will need to balance your probable best speed against the cost of the service.
