SHARE WHISPER: Pipex Communications (BT Group rumoured to be about to bid for Pipex, Vodafone Group also mentioned as potential buyer)

it would be very nice if it turns out to be true, but this has been rumoured so often that one should belive it when seen ...... though far from impossible

There have been a lot of rumours and if this one had any legs the sp would have reacted accordingly. Instead it fell slightly today. I've been in PXC for 3 years now so would welcome such action.

My money would be on an offer from CPW.

Well, after 3 months I took my phone package back to BT coz Pipex were absolutely crap. I still get my broadband through them. Never have I dealt with an outfit where 2 parts have such different standards of service.

If I was BT or anyone else, I'd have a bit of it and shut the rest down. ;-)

dailey mail.rumour.bt looking at around 15 3/4 pence.2 pence short of the year high.dubens unlikelly to sell at that price.me thinks

Banking on a t/o within 12 months...probably at 18p

Banking on them going bust in 2 years given the way their customers are exiting the Homecall unit. ;-))

Big Al---------are there figures out for Homecall defectors.

Why is a bid so likely, and i dont think Vod would be interested in buying such a company considering that it would be branching out from its core business to something new and unexplored - BT on the toher hand is a possibility, or maybe even BSKYB.
