Despite Ofcom's best efforts to encourage competition, smaller ISPs are becoming an increasingly endangered species as the UK's broadband is locked in the big boys' grip. The UK broadband market witnessed a lot of consolidation last year, including Thus grabbing two rivals in a £70m spending spree, BT snapping up PlusNet for £67m, and Pipex forking out £10m for Freedom2Surf, £12m for Bulldog and £24m for Toucan.
