If you are self-employed, run your own small business or simply work from home, your needs for the internet are likely to be on a different level from the average user who is simply looking to check emails, download music or play online games.
In the case of large businesses, these needs are even more expansive as you try to grab the full potential of the internet in a networked office space. For these reasons, Demon broadband has emerged as one of the most important providers in the broadband market - with packages tailored towards office and business use.
Demon also offers two packages in its 'business broadband' range - Demon Business 2000 which is tailored towards small businesses and heavy home users; and Demon Business 8000 for networking offices.
Who is Demon broadband ideal for?
Clearly the Demon broadband range largely caters for home office users and small businesses. However, more conventional consumers should also consider Demon Home 8000 as it is a competitive home broadband product from a provider that is used to dealing with pressing matters from its business clientele and therefore should be well-equipped to easily deal with traditional services.
What do you need?
- A standard analogue phone line is required and it must be provided by BT.
- You can pick-up the service from an extension socket as long as you use the microfilters correctly.
- A USB modem or a wireless router.
- Demon Home broadband includes an optional Alcatel SpeedTouch ST330 modem and two microfilters that is compatible with Windows 98 and above along with Mac OS 8/9 and OS X.
- Demon offers a range of modems on its HomeOffice package including the SpeedTouch ST330 as its entry-level product and the SpeedTouch ST585 wireless router. Adapter cards are also available.
What else does Demon have to offer?
One of the key advantages of Demon broadband is the fact that it offers legitimate incentives to home office workers. This isn't a package that simply claims to be for businesses because it offers fast speeds and unlimited* downloads - instead it offers a number of additional benefits.
For example, the HomeOffice 8000 package includes internet security with anti-phishing, anti-spam and virus protection. There is also the Demon Dial Companion that allows you to send email and access the internet when you are away from your base. The hardware options also cater for individual needs and the electronic fax is a useful extra for any start-up business.
If you are in the market for broadband and particularly for office use, Demon should be among those that you strongly consider so you can enjoy the specialised service you require.
