Biscit customers sold?
The eminently readable ISP Review site has "reliable sources" claiming that Biscit's remaining customer base has been sold on to Breathe Internet - not that Biscit's site mentions this at the moment (well, it has been frozen in time since December last year, thus missing quite a lot of, er, less positive developments).
One interesting aspect of the story was the quoted number of customers - 12,500 - a far cry from the 30,000 which Biscit was generally believed to have had. Ah well, rodents, sinking ship etc.
On a related note, ISP Review also reports that Netservices - Biscit's favourite wholesaler - has cheerfully dumped some of its smaller ISP customers for not raking in enough money.
"NetServices has for some time been transitioning its business away from domestic wholesale broadband and focussing operations on our portfolio of Business IP Telephony, hosting and data networking services," a statement said, with spokesperson Maria Goggins adding that "We did indeed advise circa 20 smaller resellers of domestic wholesale broadband that we wished to cease to supply as we do not and cannot see how we will make a profit with them in the future".
