Demon Internet facts for kids

Demon Internet was one of the very first companies in the United Kingdom to offer Internet access to people. It started way back in 1992. This company was a pioneer, especially for those using "dial-up" connections.

The Start of Demon Internet

Demon Internet began its journey on June 1, 1992. The idea came from Cliff Stanford of Demon Systems Ltd. He shared his thoughts on CIX, which was an early online service. At that time, getting online was not as easy as it is today. Demon Internet helped many people connect to the internet for the first time.

What is Dial-up Internet?

Before fast broadband, most people connected to the internet using "dial-up." This meant your computer used your phone line to connect. It made a special sound, like a modem "dialing up." While you were online, you couldn't use your phone for calls. It was much slower than today's internet, but it was a big step forward!

Demon Internet Today

Today, Demon Internet is part of a much larger company. It operates as a brand of Vodafone, a big telecommunications company. This shows how much the internet and the companies providing it have grown and changed over the years.
