Covad Communications Inc. has cut the high-speed connections of two Internet service providers that failed to pay their bills, leaving thousands of customers nationwide suddenly without access to the network.

Covad, which primarily sells high-speed digital subscriber lines to Internet service providers who in turn sell it to businesses and consumers, unplugged DSLnetworks on Wednesday. The move followed Friday's disconnection of Internet Express.
