Ofcom has issued an update to its own-initiative investigation into several UK ISP's (ADSL4LESS and Geo Internet), which may or may not have implemented a Dispute Resolution Scheme.
Readers may recall that an update during 'May' saw Prodigy Networks cleared from its original list of four providers, leaving concerns over ADSL4Less and Geo Internet. This update clears both ADSL4Less and Geo.
http://www.ofcom.org.uk/bulletins/comp_bull_index/comp_bull_ccases/closed_all/cw_851/Ofcom has now confirmed that ADSL4LESS is a brand name with subscribers contracted directly with Hotchilli Communications Ltd, a member of the Ofcom approved ADR scheme, Otelo. Ofcom is content that ADSL4LESS subscribers have access to Otelo through Hotchilli's membership. Ofcom has therefore closed the case.
In relation to Geo Internet, Ofcom has established that Nahda Technologies Ltd ran an ISP under this brand name but that it is no longer operational. Geo Internet subscribers have migrated to other ISPs. Ofcom has therefore also closed this case.It took them 6 months just to work this out? Much of the information has been available in the public domain for sometime.
