Pipex Communications has today announced it has acquired the Cable &Wireless Bulldog brand for £12 million.
The deal will mean Pipex now controls Bulldog's residential and small business broadband customer base, website and rights to the Bulldog brand and domain names.
Peter Dubens, Pipex Communications chairman, said: "The acquisition of Bulldog brings further scale to the Pipex Group and we are delighted to welcome all the Bulldog customers.
"Cable & Wireless is a good addition to our supplier mix and going forward this relationship will add breadth to the choice of services that we are able to offer to all of our customers."
The deal means Pipex's total broadband and voice customer base now numbers 1,140,000, of which 500,000 take broadband services.
Some 90% of Bulldog's 110,000 customers subscribe to a broadband, voice and wholesale line rental package.
