About UKFSN

This profile is built from our broadband market dataset and the sources linked on this page. We do not repeat unchecked marketing claims; numbers and dates match fields on file or linked evidence.

UKFSN (UK Free Software Network) was originally incorporated as UK Free Software Network Limited on 19 November 2004 and dissolved at Companies House on 18 June 2013. However, the ISP service has continued to operate under founder Jason Clifford as a sole trader. UKFSN offers small-scale broadband and web hosting with profits contributing to free software projects. Customers of the sole trader operation should note the lack of limited company protection compared to incorporated ISPs.
