Nice rises Friday and today,after being tipped up by Money Week magazine ,with first half sales up 86%,and a cheaper Broadband bundle than Car Phone warehouse,a forward p/e of 15.4 and a likely takeover target seems the one to be on in a guarateed consolidating sector.

IanT I hope you are monitoring...

thanks Ian .... these guys are tiresome and one of us on here is already more than enough!

It wouldn't be quite so bad if they could at least spell correctly! Was getting to be like the SOLA discussion board ! :o)

Apologies to everyone as I started the ball rolling again. Time to move on.

Rumours going about re. Dubens MBO

falcthou what rumours and were.........

advfn
bb tiscali
web hosting dubens
wimax bt

that story is many weeks old - i.e. that once the broadband part of PXC had been sold off, Dubens would be looking to take the balance himself ....... i think i posted as much myself on here

thx guys............ yes cynic your right

Apparently it's in the FT today

falcthou can you post this news so we can see

Pipex, the broadband internet group, improved 3.9 per cent to 13p, amid talk of a management buy-out approach for its web hosting business. In March, Pipex appointed investment bank UBS to carry out a strategic review.

Seems to be large volume again today ,9th best traded share yesterday,announcment due? your views please jim

considering forthcoming sale.sp is very disapointing.todays trades mostly look like sells at 13p.not the best sign.

Yes, considering everything it's crap isn't it ?

PXC has a nasty habit of raising expectations only for all to be met by deafening silence ...... i shall just allow my holding to gather more moths and dust, though i genuinely find it hard to beleive that Dubens will allow everything to go to sleep ..... after all, if my reading is correct, he would like to acquire the rump himself

dont like the idea of selling broadband to tiscali and dubens holding on to the rest in a management buy out.as has been suggested.we the shareholders will get rogered.i suspect this is a possible cause of the low interest at the moment.september should bring news and renewed interest in wi-max.if dubens and crew havent nicked the company by then.

you might not like the picture i painted, but i bet that's the reality.
neither tiscali nor the previous contenders seemed to have any interest or appetite for more than the broadband (and web hosting?)
frankly, if i make a profit, i'm not fussed who buys what

held for over 3 years myself.still believe the sp could reach 20p+.there was ample opertunity to get out at 17.5p but the big money held onto their shares.the times wrote some time ago about dubens dumping the residential aspects of the company and cocentrating on business telecoms.wi-max will find ready customers when it is launched.i suspect councils up and down the country will be keen to promote the technolagy the only concern is if we will have had our shares cheaply removed from us by the .

Pipex Communications Plc.
