Well the install went very smoothly. All up and running with little problem. Working from home in the afternoon it felt faster and the line seemed stable. Here's the stats:
(1) Ping to BBC
Average ping time more than halved to 14ms
(2) Trace Route to BBC
This actually had more hops to go over than the Demon equivalent. Still, it was much faster.
(3) Getting 15 meg file from Rimu Hosting
The receive time was 21 seconds rather than 28 seconds. Not quite as much better as I would have hoped if I'm honest. Still certainly an improvement.
(4) Sending a 15 meg file to Rimu Hosting
107 seconds, compared to the 202 seconds with the ADSl. A very pleasing improvement.
Overall I'm a very happy customer so far.
