Small UK ISP Hi-Velocity, which late last year vanished from the ISPA’s membership list and got itself into hot water over broadband migrations (news), has now had its broadband supply terminated by murphx. We have been unable to reach the ISP for comment and, at the time of writing, their website is not loading either.

Customers connecting to the provider have been greeted by a walled garden page, which reads: "murphx Innovative Solutions Limited (murphx) provided Hi Velocity with your internet services. Your internet access has been suspended." Murphx, which claims to supply the majority of the ISP's customer base, has confirmed the situation.


It's not known precisely which parts of the agreement have been breached, although lack of payment has often been the most common factor in similar situations. Murphx adds that it is working "tirelessly" to mitigate the impact on end users and will be offering customers a number of alternative options.
