metroring.co.uk ?

Hi,

Does anybody here have any experience of dealing with 'MetroRing' (metroring.co.uk)?

Cheers,
Ben.

Domain is registered to an "Orbis Telecom" which appears to operate from the same place as C4L, so i'd assume it's a brand of C4L.

Website appears to be hosted by our friends at FastHosts...

Yes, I had noticed relationship to C4L and the fast-hosts hosting, so had my own doubts. It did seem odd since they got hardly any hits on Google either, although it does claim to be a new network so fair enough. Hence why I asked here. However their advertised sales e-mail address bounced due a server problem so presumably they aren't planning on selling anything.

Its not that new. I recall visiting the website, having my doubts about the operation and not contacting them well over a year ago.

Wouldn't an ASN help prospective customers decide on whether or not their transit is worth the price etc?

Someones trying to keep something under wraps.. not the best way of getting custom IMO, if there was hype around the launch etc, there may be people waiting, but with no information, I doubt anyone is going to touch it.

Metro Ring seem to mimic C4L's network identically from what I recall last time I looked at them. Probably just a reseller.
