Demon Web Proxies / Caches

Please note that from Monday 12th November 2007 we will be closing the Demon Web Proxies (also known as caches).

With the increase in bandwidth and capacity of web sites in recent times, web proxies no longer serve as an effective means of speeding up access to web content.

The current trend of web pages becoming larger and more sophisticated is additionally reducing the effectiveness of such proxies.

One noticeable effect is that fewer customers are now prepared to configure their systems to use a web proxie.

Therefore we have decided that the resources currently used on web proxies could be better used on other services for our customers.

Customers who currently use the Demon Web Caches must reconfigure their systems to directly access remote sites before the above date. Other customers will not be affected and need take no action.
