FidoNet does not appear to sell broadband any more. FidoNet's website did not respond in November 2026, and we found no company record that clearly belongs to it. We keep this page so anyone looking for FidoNet can see what happened.
About FidoNet
Our records say FidoNet began in 2001 as an internet provider for homes and businesses. The name is shared with a well-known networking protocol, which makes company searches noisy, and we found no Companies House record that clearly belongs to this provider. Its website timed out when we tried it in November 2026. If you still have an old FidoNet account, your latest bill will show who supplies the service now.
