Customers of ISP Redten Internet are still awaiting confirmation of the firm’s new computer partner following the demise of former parent company Watford Electronics last week.

On its website the ISP, which supplies people with free computers when they sign up to a £20 per month broadband contract, continues to say it has run out of “free PC’s”.

It also says as a result of this “the broadband with free PC offer has therefore been temporarily suspended. We are currently working hard to fulfil all existing orders and hope to be in a position to reinstate the offer soon”.

A spokesman for Redten Internet told Computeractive: “We have been in negotiations with a number of potential partners but are unable to provide further information at this point."

Despite being closely linked with Watford Electronics successor Globally Limited, Redten Internet has not confirmed a new computer deal with them, saying: “We will have to see what Globally Limited has to say, before we make a decision."

Watford Electronics entered administration last week, owing almost £8m, after 35 years in the industry.

According to sister title CRN, Redten was created to be Watford Electronics "get-out clause [to help it out of financial trouble], but it didn’t really take off".
