Demon are showing their love for gamers with their latest deal.
The internet service provider is offering a VIP fast track to speedy speeds all aimed at the gaming community.
For an extra £3 per month lovers of online gaming get priority on the super highway.
According to the sites Demon has enough extra capacity to cover any surge and it won’t affect the daily home user… too much.
Demon also promises lower latency, faster ping times, 24-hour UK-based support and 20MBits/sec downloads with 1Mbit/sec uploads.
The only restriction I can spot is that you’ll be limited to 100GB a month between 8am and 11pm.
The Game Pro package starts from about £23 per month.

Sony believes that when it comes to first person shooters what you can hear is often as important as what you can see.
Ideally, what you need is something that will kick out 3D surround sound direct to your lugholes.
Perhaps some headphones with a name that would leave you without any doubt what kind of user they’re aimed at…..
A name such as Ultimate Weapon…..
Whaddya know – that’s exactly what Sony’s brand-spanking new DR-GA500 cans will do!
This gaming headset comes partnered with a separate Dolby Pro Logic IIx box to process your computer’s audio into 7.1-channel surround sound and the all important mic for taunting your foes from around the globe.
If that’s a little too involved you could always opt for the GA-200 model which doesn’t bother with that extra processing.
For maximum comfort on those long sessions both headsets sport super special “triple enfolding” padding – so no more excuses of uncomfy cans distracting you being the reason for the amount of ‘friendly fire’ you’ve been dishing out.
As an extra gaming bonus you’ll get a free copy of the latest ‘Medal of Honour’ single player with your new headgear.
As per usual there’s no word on prices but expect them to appear around mid-October.
