186k was the telecoms subsidiary of the Lattice Group, a FTSE 100 company demerged from BGgroup. Lattice invested approx. £1/2bn in establishing a state of the art optical fibre network and data centres throughout the UK.

At the end of 2002 the National Grid merger with Transco forced the disposal of 186k. Part of the assets went to Hutchison 3G and part of the assets remained with 186k.

186k was subsequently acquired by Dominic Marrocco, a highly successful Internet entrepreneur, in October 2004. Dominic has already put in place a forward thinking business strategy, which aims to establish 186k as the IP partner of choice within the UK market.

Since Dominic purchased 186k in 2004 it has grown exponentially and gone from strength to strength, with many acquisitions being completed over the past years including Mailbox, EFH broadband, NetServices DSL base, IP Support, Elite Internet and many more. 186k now boasts a strong customer base and loyal partners and resellers
