    Hopefully this expansion will give us more of the good service and less of the careless failures...

    Strangely they informed customers the day before the press release but asked customers not to comment on it via social media until after the press release.

    So it seems there is some consolidation in the market, Telecity recently bought IFL and then UKGRID (presumably because a lot of IFL customers where moving to UKGRID). Prices went up an average of 35% for us as a result.

    Wonder who will be next?
