really tragic. they brought internet to the netherlands and they get put down by some old phone company one who's network they started to pirate internet... it's the only really good isp in the netherlands even though these days is still only a fraction of their glory days. love xs4all, very good and nice company and did a lot of important work for the internet not limited to only the netherlands
- Angostura 8y agoI feel rather the same about Demon Internet, one of the earliest UK ISPs which started as a 'tenner a month club' back in 1992. Got sold off in 1998, has been shuffled around various corporate owners until it ended up with Vodaphone - who have just decided to finally kill it.
- vectorEQ 8y agoi used to hear about Demon internet in the old counter-strike days :D shame these smaller players get put down like that. A lot of these bigger ones like kPN in our case believe that all will become just a small handful of big corporations. so they try to buy up a lot of smaller players and then just gradually kill them off to try and keep ahead of the other players.
