The original CIX conference where the idea was floated was called tenner_a_month, I think -- scruss 15:03, 12 February 2006 (UTC) (one of the founder members)
See Talk:Internet_Watch_Foundation#Demon_UK_ISP_blocking_Wayback_Machine_via_IWF.27s_blacklist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.212.134.39 ( talk) 19:59, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
The name "Demon" came from a list of shelf names available at the time. I for one have no idea what a "shelf name" is in this context. JH ( talk page) 09:49, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
I think the original author meant that the name Demon came from an off-the-shelf company. But that's actually not the case. Demon Internet Limited was named after its predecessor, Demon Systems Limited, which was itself named after Demon Products, a model car racing business which still exists today at http://demonpowerproducts.co.uk/. Unfortunatly I don't have any outside reference for this. Cliff Stanford ( talk) 10:01, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
Additionally, demon broadband customers will 'eventually' be migrated to Vodaphone Fibre as per:
156.43.71.1 ( talk) 16:07, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
My demon email address, cucumber.demon.co.uk, finally terminated on 28/7/2020. Namesco had taken over the email service in 2016, but never owned the domain name, and relied on licensing its use from Vodafone. Namesco tried buying the domain many times to keep the email service going long term, but Vodafone wouldn't sell it, and finally notified Namesco it would be terminated in the summer of 2020, which it was. 81.187.1.83 ( talk) 08:42, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
FWIW, I also tried to buy the domain but Vodafone refused to sell.
The web, or that part that interests me, seems to be full of dead references to subdomains of demon.co.uk. While I have, for example, found in the wayback machine that http://goban.demon.co.uk has moved to http://harryfearnley.com/, I have not been able to trace other links such as http://jklmn.demon.co.uk .
Is it possible to add a section saying what happened to demon.co.uk , and perhaps also at least some suggestions as to how to go about finding the new location of its defunct subdomains? PJTraill ( talk) 20:26, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
