Serious Tubes Networks is an internet service provider in Stockholm, Sweden,[1] that provides network connectivity for the Pirate Party of Sweden. It has also been known to host The Pirate Bay, a major BitTorrent search engine.[2]

In May 2011, the website of The Pirate Bay was unreachable to Comcast customers. Serious Tubes Networks later announced that it was due to a routing configuration error at Global Crossing, which was providing service for Comcast.[2][3][4]

The company's website was originally located at serioustubes.org, which later redirected to serioustubes.se. The website has been offline since at least August 2013.[5]
