UK ISP Supanet has just confirmed plans to expand its customer base by acquiring an unknown number of rival telecommunications and technology companies. The broadband provider has had a history of mergers and acquisitions and will seek to target companies that may be reassessing their position or possibly looking to exit as the economic situation tightens its grip.


Supanet added that it intended to make any transitions as smooth as possible for customers of those companies it acquires and promises not to lose sight of its own client base in the process. The ISP recently came bottom of one customer rating survey for last year (here).
