- Notes
- Legal name and number are a Companies House name match only. Contracting entity, parent, type, URLs and Ofcom status not yet reviewed. Six Degrees Technology Limited (07623061) also exists, so confirm which entity contracts. Re-check of the outside research pass, 2026-10-01 (page-reader wording; confirm on the page): Six Degrees says it is a Claranet Group company, but Claranet is not a PSC; the PSC is Six Degrees Investment Limited. Managed WAN page (2025-12-12) describes an MPLS mesh monitored 24x7 with SLAs. Cells filled on 2026-10-02 from the outside research pass are Partial unless the re-check confirmed them. Not found means the pass searched and saw nothing, not that it does not exist. Verify each against its source row, then set Decision.
