PIPE listed on the then Australian Stock Exchange on 17 May 2005 as PIPE Networks Limited, with the stock code: PWK.
Australian ISPs that utilise PIPE's metropolitan fibre networks include iiNet, Internode, and iPrimus, among others.
In March 2010, shareholders accepted a takeover offer from TPG Telecom Limited.
In October 2024, the Vocus Group proposed to acquire PIPE Networks from TPG Telecom for $5.25 billion. The sale was finalised on 31 July 2025.
PIPE currently runs six metropolitan exchange networks.
In January 2008, PIPE Networks announced it would be constructing a $200 million international link, known as PPC-1 (Pipe Pacific Cable), from Sydney to Guam. The link connects Madang in Papua New Guinea. It is operated by a newly formed PIPE subsidiary, PIPE International.
In April 2008, PIPE Networks entered into a joint venture with New Zealand-based Kordia to build an undersea fibre optic cable between New Zealand and Australia. This cable was to be known as PPC-2. As of 2024, this link has yet to appear.
