Pipex Communications
plc has acquired the residential and small business broadband customer base of
Cable & Wireless’ Bulldog broadband service. The deal, which involves over
$12 million in cash, also covers rights to the Bulldog brand and domain names.
This acquisition brings Pipex’s total broadband base to more than 500,000.
According to the company, 90% of Bulldog’s 110,000 customers subscribe to a
broadband, voice and wholesale line rental package, which delivers an ARPU of
£34 per month.
In a separate move, Pipex also announced that it has signed up to use Cable
& Wireless’ unbundled local loop (LLU) access network, which will cover 800
exchanges. The move forms part of Pipex’s policy to use a hybrid network which
is a mixture of its own Local Loop Unbundling (LLU) footprint and wholesale.
