Vispa Internet Limited was launched in October 1999 by a small, yet dedicated team of Internet "surfers" who wanted to provide an ISP that would fully meet the demands and requests of their clients within the United Kingdom. Our vision has always been, and will remain so, to provide a full range of services at affordable and fair price points, where our customers are allowed to maintain their own individual identity. We clearly have no wish to be the largest, but would like be regarded as one of the best - nice people to do business with. Vispa continues to invest heavily to ensure that we keep ourselves at the very forefront of leading ISP's to provide the services our customers seek and our technical back up team are always on hand, to support and advise our customers from the nervous beginner right through to multi-national companies. All receive the same care and attention. Our approach to the market was recognised by the Internet Industry in 2001 when we were nominated as Best Consumer ISP, eventually finishing runner up to a major national organisation supported by the large financial institutions.Vispa has come a long way in a short period of time and represents one of the major success stories of the UK Internet market. We have done so, not by heavy advertising campaigns or seeking venture capital, but simply by the support of a loyal customer base, individuals or companies who have recognised that we do try to provide much more than just the ability to browse the Internet - that's something that makes Vispa so different - and have stayed with us. We readily acknowledge this loyalty. From our own customer surveys we know we have a number of "silver haired surfer" - senior citizens - who have taken on this whole new world of technology - and have done so with the help and co-operation of the Vispa team. Likewise, our Junior client numbers grow significantly - and they do so with their parents knowledge that Vispa will do everything to ensure that the net is used to obtain knowledge and Information - rather than "adult material". Vispa still continues to refuse hosting of such sites, and are only too pleased to discuss, offer help and assistance to any concerned parent. We take our responsibility in this area very seriously indeed.
