‘BT announced today that it has agreed to acquire Brightview Group Limited (‘Brightview’), the internet service provider (ISP) owned by Brightview plc for approximately £15.8m in cash, subject to approval from Brightview’s shareholders.

Established in April 2001, Brightview is a small consumer ISP with a strong reputation for high-quality customer and technical support. Brightview operates the ISP brands Madasafish and Global Internet, as well as the Which?-award-winning Waitrose ISP. Brightview is also working with John Lewis Partnership to launch its new ISP and telephony service under the ‘GreenBee’’

Madasafish is highly regarded in the UK Mac community for its good Mac support. BT isn’t. Madasafish subscribers will be waiting with baited breath to see what happens

    Fish… baited, oh you’re a funny man.

    But wrong :-P ‘Bated breath’ is correct in this context…

    Personally, I lost my temper with Virgin the other morning and actually swore at the guy on the phone.
