Just a warning to the whole community: Box has entered administration.

What's your source of information? I can find no reference to it on the net.

I googled it and found information about the administration. https://www.thebusinessdesk.com/westmidlands/news/2081699-jobs-lost-as-online-retailer-enters-administration#:~:text=Michael%20Lennon%

There's more than one company called Box, for example a broadband supplier operating in the south east. To be clear, this information refers to the company operating from Tamworth.

That's called Box Broadband. Not Box.

That's called Box Broadband. Not Box.

Must admit when I initially read the thread subject "box in administration" posted on a broadband forum, I initially assumed box broadband.

Never heard of box.co.uk tbh

Has been for a couple of months now. 
Nice to see a bit of competition to Scan!

I don't see it like that, as I use Scan for the customer service and to support a regional company, they are usually slightly more expensive than Amazon.

I only ever used Box when they were cheaper than anywhere else but would be more cautious with a company that almost went out of business.

Although this is promising, it appears to still be a UK company not taken over by some foreign investors:

many of former employees of BOX re-joining the company's new incarnation.

Five Tech LTD has announced that they have acquired Box LTD's Intellectual Property Assets and the Box.co.uk domain. Soon, Box.co.uk will become the trading name of Five Tech LTD.
