I 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.
