UK: Pipex Loses 30,000 Bulldog Customers

Richard Thurston writes on ZDNet UK:

Pipex, the ISP that bought the customer base of its troubled rival Bulldog, has revealed that it actually acquired 30,000 fewer customers than it expected.

Bulldog had a base of 110,000 users when the deal was agreed last September, but Pipex said on Tuesday that once the transfer was completed it had only gained 80,000 more customers. It appears that the remaining 30,000 left Bulldog, which has suffered a litany of technical and support problems over the last couple of years, culminating in an Ofcom inquiry.
