Biscit Internet went into administration on March 8th.
Reports that the company had been in financial and organisational difficulty have been circulating in the press in recent weeks.
BT’s on hand to pick up the pieces though.
From next Monday Biscit’s 6,500 customers will be able to call a special helpline to obtain a MAC code from BT Wholesale. This service will enable them to move to a new broadband service provider of their choice and will help to minimise disruption and downtime to their broadband service. Details of the helpline will be available from a web page that these customers of Biscit will be re-directed to from next Monday.
Broadband Genie’s on hand to help too - use our comparison tool to find a new provider.
Seems to me like there is a big shake-up in the UK broadband market. Not only will smaller players like biscuit go into administration but the mid-sized companies will get purchased by the big players.
I wouldn’t be surprised that in the next 2 years we find that the number of broadband providers has dramatically decreased. Sure there will be efficiencies of scale for these large companies (and more money in dividends to their share holders) but will there still be satisfactory consumer choice?
I suppose we will have to wait and see.
