The original company was established in 1991, originating from Unipalm, a software reseller in Cambridge, as the first commercial ISP in Britain. It initially operated with a 64k transatlantic leased line to UUNET. One of its first customers was Demon Internet.

However, the company has not grown its market share of FTSE350 Dedicated Internet Access over the last year. This suggests that focus remains on the SME & home market and not corporate. This wide range of customers makes PIPEX harder to value than a pure consumer, SME, or corporate provider, while mitigating some of the risks associated with any 1 market.
Currently, there is speculation in the markets that BT may buy Pipex because it is one of the few operators in the UK who hold a license to operate WiMAX services - that is, completely wire free high speed internet over a bigger range than that of WiFi. If BT are successful, then it could be a very lucrative market for them.
