London -- PlusNet, a U.K.-based Internet service provider (ISP),
announced that it has acquired Parbin Ltd. for approximately £1.7
million. Parbin -- which recently topped a Which? magazine survey
evaluating customers' satisfaction with their broadband ISPs --
currently has more than 16,000 broadband customers. PlusNet said it
would offer Parbin customers a wider choice of broadband services,
including Internet telephony. "The acquisition of Parbin gives us access
to a business with a strong reputation and a growing broadband
customer base," said PlusNet CEO Lee Strafford. "We plan to broaden
product choice and enhance customer support including 24/7 coverage
for Metronet's customers." (Parbin trades as Metronet).
