In the past few weeks speculation has been rife about Bulldogs future as its parent company Cable and Wireless's business is in a major upheaval with the loss of thousands of jobs on the horizon for C&W staff..
but according to the register Bulldog is safe from the chopping block and wont be sold off, far from it in fact as C&W UK boss John Pluthero stated, the register reports that Pluthero has said that he was "really happy" with it's performance. Last year the ISP, which has invested heavily in local loop unbundling (LLU) and Since last year's low point Bulldog has made "significant operational progress", more than doubling the number of punters from 48,000 last August to 107,000 today.
As far as Pluthero is concerned, Bulldog is the UK's LLU market leader and is something that "can build value for shareholders". With its kit installed in some 400 exchanges at present, and expected to double by September, the telco sees LLU as a "strategic asset" for the business.
so for all the doubters, you can now lay this speculation to rest and especially for us punters will have an ISP to log on to of which doesnt have to bend over backwards for BT's greed, so cheap and unlimited access without shaping or any other forced FUPness to hamper our unrestricted access
the full story can be read at the register..
