UK-Bug are today leading with the news that Bulldog is to discontinue the resale of its most popular products. This is a surprising move given the recent launch of the promising products Bulldog4 and Bulldog 2&2, a 4Mbps ADSL connection and a 2Mbps SDSL connection respectively.
The move sees all ADSL Datastream, LLU ADSL and LLU SDSL products being withdrawn from their resale portfolio. The move will apparently not affect existing customers, although no new customers will be able to join on those platforms. Bulldogs wholesale customers will not be affected, except for the additional withdrawal of the 10:1 SDSL product.
I can confirm that with immediate effect Hi-Velocity are no longer selling any Datastream products on the Bulldog network. We will continue to support any users on Bulldog Datastream products and they will continue to receive their services for as long as they remain customers of Hi-Velocity.
I can also confirm that as of 1st October we will no longer be selling and Bulldog LLU ADSL products, once again all current subscribers will remain unaffected.
We will continue to interconnect with Bulldog to provide our customers with LLU and IP Stream services of the highest possible quality.
We hope that in the future we will be in a position to offer LLU ADSL products again, either through Bulldog or another provider.
Anthony Bennett, Sales Director, Hi-Velocity
Whilst the above does not confirm the withdrawal of the Bulldog products, it certainly seems to add some water to the article published by the UK Broadband Usergroup.
This will not only frustrate Bulldogs other reselling partners, such as Mailbox Internet and Fusion Media Network, it will also appear as a step backwards to the many who now believe LLU is the way foward for faster services in the UK. |
