Energis denies ditching FRIACO

Energis has denied a report that it is to cease providing wholesale unmetered Net access for UK ISPs.

At the weekend, ISP Review reported that ISPs have begun leaving the alternative telco because of "recent problems with degrading network performance".

The report also said that Energis could soon be moving away from the wholesale unmetered dialup platform (FRIACO) in a bid to concentrate on core telecom services.

Energis has reacted angrily. A spokesman for Energis told The Register: "We have no plans to move away from the FRIACO platform. In fact, we're seeing an increasing numbers of customers using our service.

"Neither has there been a degradation in our service. The latest independent figures put us ahead of the market," he said. ®
