The Wave Rider website claims (in the disclaimer) that : "Wave Rider Internet is a Comline Networks Ltd brand."

The problem is, no such company as Comline Networks Ltd exists in the UK.

Comline Networks Ltd is listed as a previous name of a new company name for company number 04999653 called "OPENSENSE LTD". However, it seems they've not updated their website in a wee while.

The "Andy" referenced in the article is COWAN, ANDREW JOHN who has been a Director of a string of disolved companies, including these companies directly related to Wave Rider:

Company Number: 03041126

Company Name: WAVE RIDER INTERNET LIMITED

SECRETARY

Dissolved: 06/05/2009

and

Occupation: TAX CONSULTANT

Company Number: 03957770

Company Name: COMLINE GROUP LTD

SECRETARY

Dissolved: 30/08/2005

Indeed, the current company, Opensense Ltd has overdue accounts: "Accounts Due: 31/10/2008 OVERDUE "

It looks like he's been forming and disolving companies since 2005 at least.

So - while Andy might claim he's having problems with the peering folks... it looks like he's had a history of phoenix companies and non-payment.

Never heard of them but for sure they (he) sound like complete crooks.

Their website punts Cobalt Qube servers for goodness sake.

I was looking for references to the RaQ XTR as well, perhaps their customer base wasn't that tech savvy as a website that has not been updated in years would set alarm bells ringing in my head.

Unless its just a sign of under investment.
