Is this the first ISP to go this way?

Nope a few have already gone to the wall, some within a year or so of
ADSL being rolled out....

Maybe there should be a thread "ISPs in trouble" so such news can be posted in
one thread. I had noticed a few stories about Supanet but hadn't seen many
mentions of Supanet recently... No doubt those affected will know already!

If only PlusNet would go the same way then this newsgroup woundn't be
populated every hour of everyday with a variety of issues that would not
surface if the charged a more realistic price for their "service" . They
could then afford timely network improvements, employ more than enough
knowledgeable support staff and have web designers that would create a web
site worthy of an organisation that derives its business from the Internet.
