UK ISP breathe.com looks in a bad way also, seeking a buyer with debts of
£50m odd. 

http://www.mediaguardian.co.uk/newmedia/story/0,7496,412828,00.html

The debts racked up from a v.expensive advertising campaign, which although
very impressive, left many viewers wondering what breathe actually did....

Also backed out of a deal offering unlimited web access to customers paying
a £50 one-off fee, who have since lost their money...

oh dear...
