More sad news for the UK telecommunications and broadband industry today as Net Lynk (Net Lynk Direct Limited), which was a widely used distribution supplier for many network operators and ISPs, has “ceased trading” and “no further orders can now be taken“. A good number of providers (e.g. KCOM, Zen Internet and others) are likely to feel the impact.
According to Companies House, the Birmingham-based company officially appointed an administrator on 17th March 2025, although the documents for this were only published last week. Several industry sources have since informed ISPreview that API calls to their systems are now also failing.
The front page of Net Lynk’s website currently carries a message that confirms they’ve “ceased trading” and provides a few extra details about the administrator. All other pages on their website appear to have been removed or cause errors when you attempt to access them.
Some of the items that Net Lynk supplied, often direct to customers (on behalf of ISPs), included broadband routers, replacement power supplies, WiFi access points, returns bags and so forth. Some providers will thus be heavily impacted by this development.
Net Lynk Direct Limited – Has ceased trading. No further orders can now be taken.
