Fast.co.uk and 186k gone under?

It seems that fast.co.uk plus other associated companies/brands 186k / Firenet have suddenly gone under due to not paying their wholesale internet access supplier’s bills, according to ispreview. See

Some former customers have gone over to Andrews & Arnold very quickly. I think some went to Aquiss too, iirc. AA reported that they have done some kludges on their radius server so that working login usernames can be allocated to the new migrants to get them working very quickly.

Zen have finally responded. We're not chasing customers, however a 4G connection is on offer till the waiting period is observed.

According to an
entry
in his personal blog, Adrian Kennard mentions that
Andrews & Arnold
have now provided numerous ex-Fast customers with Internet access.
