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.

Nice post.. thanks for the info..I'm holding for the time being.

certainly hefty traffic here today and have just bought in the vain or vague hope that this time a t/o will actually materialise ..... just for info, there were 400k on offer at 14 and no, i did not plunge in that deeply!

buys currently outnmbering sells by about 7:4

Timed this one well for a change, got in 2 days ago...


LONDON (AFX) - Virgin Media and BT have emerged as surprise frontrunners for broadband provider Pipex Communications PLC, which put itself up for sale last week, reports the Telegraph, without citing sources.

Both companies are believed to have made significant approaches for the group, the paper says.

Pipex's adviser, UBS AG, is believed to have asked for first-round bids for the business by Friday. alexander.ferguson@thomson.com af/jr

please can someone clarify .... i had heard that it was only the broadband part that was up for auction on friday

what price [sp] do people think for the sale?

minimum 17p..............25p if bidding war

I have just bought 660000 shares @ 14.95p

HELLO GUYS HOW MUCH THIS ONE IS GOING TO GO UP TO

should, although not certain, be a further hike up in the sp in the next few days as PXC is bound to get positive mentions in shares mag and IC this week.

20p+ I reckon

I would tip the first offer to come on friday at about 17.5p, then the bidding war to start and get to > 22p
and BT to win it !

hope it is anything north of 17p as have just doubled up using some of the proceeds of my TAN sale

I reckon 20p plus

Got in @15p after taking a tasty profit from SIT.
20p would be nice!

waken up.

we've waited 3 or 4 years for this and now no comments

I think everyone's fixed to the screen!

I guess noone knows where it will go to.

I was going to post earlier but didn't want to put the K of D on it, I sold mine back along but still look out of curiosity, well done long term holders it looks as if you're patience is going to be rewarded. Good luck.
