........."And so to our traditional "wild card". Pipex Communications, formerly known as GX Networks, is a telecoms company created by one of the entrepreneurs behind Ukbetting, Peter Dubens. It has been assembled from six smaller players. The ambitious company is generating cash for the first time but is still not widely followed in the City. It could be an undiscovered gem".

I thought about getting in to this recently as a lot of people i know are getting Pipex residential broadband in and it is also highly rated for both customer and network service but i read an article recently saying that although the home broadband market had a long way to go prices were going so low that some smaller companies might end up getting strangled and die. Just a thought.

I have just gone back in as they appear to have woken up-I am hoping for good prospects from their new VOIP offering to small businesses. This is the next big thing and should save lots of money for any business that takes it up. Fingers crossed I'm right-hoping for some positive RNS soon.

Captainmerton - some big companies (BT, Cable and Wirless) might just be a little scared of Wimax and want a piece of the action. Just a thought.
Mickeyskint - 6.5 milllion buy near the close. Keep moving about and you will live up to your moniker. LOL.
And remember, PXC acquired Host Europe and Nildram. And maybe Easynet to come (but that's a rumour).

VOIP is the next big boom-I have bought into EVS for this reason and now Pxc are launching it for their business customers. The cost savings will ensure the takeup will be good-this could be why Pxc has started rising, exciting stuff-DYOR.

Don't the usually have the telecommuication awards around this time of year. From memory I think PXC where up for numerous awards last year and with the progress they have made (HOST) it could be they are in a better position to capitalise this time round.

A bit of news from today.... PIPEX Communications plc
Pre-close period trading update
PIPEX Communications plc, the telecoms network operator and provider of business
and residential broadband solutions, is pleased to announce that it expects to
report results for the year ended 31 December 2004 in line with market
expectations.
During 2004 PIPEX acquired both Host Europe plc, the hosting services and domain
registration provider, and Nildram, one of the UK's leading independent
broadband internet service providers, for a total consideration of 44 million.
The integration of these businesses has gone very well and is in line with
management expectations.
PIPEX has maintained its 'capex-light' business model with capital expenditure
at the end of the financial year amounted to less than 6% of sales, the majority
of which was directly related to new customer provisioning. Gross margins for
the year have strengthened to 47%, as a result of a favourable shift in the mix
of product revenues.
Customer numbers at the year end reached 420,000 across broadband, hosting,
domain registrations, private circuits and voice (up from 150,000 in January
2004). Broadband customers, in particular, have grown by 67% over the year with
average revenue per broadband customer increasing by 4% in the same period.
This was due to a combination of factors including a change in mix between
business and residential customers, as well as upgrades.
At the end of 2004 PIPEX launched both its first VOIP service and a bundled
broadband and voice product. Initial take-up of these services has been very
encouraging.
PIPEX will report full year results in April 2005.
