Vispa, based in Manchester, offered Openreach-based broadband packages and full fibre broadband.
The company began in 1999, and also ran its own Fixed Wireless Access network.
The Companies House website shows that Vispa Limited has an “active proposal to strike off”, meaning it is in the process of being removed from the register and dissolved.
VISPA customers told to find new provider as it enters liquidation
In an email to customers, as shared by ISPreview, company director James Ormerod has informed customers to find a new provider.
It reads: “Dear Customer, we are writing to inform you that Vispa Limited has ceased trading and decided to commence liquidation proceedings.
“As a result, we regret to advise that Vispa will no longer be able to continue providing broadband services.
“To avoid any interruption to your connectivity, you will need to immediately choose a new Internet Service Provider (ISP) as soon as possible.
“Most providers on the Openreach network are able to take over your existing line with minimal disruption. You can find a list of alternative suppliers here.
“We also strongly recommend that you cancel any active Direct Debit or standing order you have in place with Vispa Limited to prevent any further payments being taken.
“We understand this news may be inconvenient and we sincerely apologise for the disruption this causes. We would like to thank you for your custom and support over the years.”
No date or the service’s disconnection has been confirmed.
The Vispa website is currently “down for maintenance”.
It says: “The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.”
Other companies to enter liquidation in 2026
Vispa is the latest of many companies across the UK that have ceased trading or entered liquidation this year.
Retail companies such as Game and fashion brand Quiz have confirmed administration in 2026.
Fashion retailer Quiz confirmed yesterday it is closing its online store and starting a stock clearance sale across physical outlets, putting 109 job roles at risk at its Glasgow head office and Lanarkshire warehouse.
There have also been several travel companies that have closed down this year, including:
Asiara UK Ltd, which offered tailor-made and small-group tours to places like Thailand, China, India, Japan, and Singapore, is one of the latest travel companies to cease trading.
The travel company was removed from the Companies House register on January 6, before dissolving on January 13.
Finally, it ceased trading as an ATOL holder on January 21.
It follows a tough year for travel companies in 2025, with several closing down, according to the ATOL website.
These included Ickenham Travel Group Ltd (November), Great Little Escapes LLP (June), and Jetline Travel Ltd (March).
