I remember Cix, though I never had it. We had Demon giving me access to this incredible Internet thing, on the super fast 14.4kbps modem!

- Starwatcher2001 4y agoI'm an ex-demonite too. Had all the telehone numbers of the local pops (point of presence) in a file to copy to the moden after the ADT command. As the pops were heavily subscribed and would often just give engaged tones, I used to use the net at 6am. The phone rates were cheaper then too.
- denton-scratch 4y agoI was on Cix for several years. I can't remember what my username was. They had a really rather good mail and new client. A lot of the users were tech journalists and (oddly) airplane pilots. I originally connected using an acoustic coupler that ran at 9,600 baud. I later migrated to Demon, which was originally formed by members of the Cix "tenner-a-month club" - a group that banded together to get real internet, instead of using Cix's curated internet gateways. Demon was a great ISP, until they were taken over by Scottish Power.
