No choice for broadband in Hull

Other options should be available to the Hull users! This is madness !!!

I am planning on getting wireless broadband and I live in Hull. I've never had Internet and I decided to check the Karoo website for their prices. I was shocked and appalled to find the uncompetitive, ridiculous prices that Karoo charge. Karoo have somehow generated a purely disgusting monopoly out of the Hull area. How did it get like this? Can anybody tell me? I would love to see more competition in this industry. Email me at revisionmajig@googlemail.com

I would have no gripe about Kingston Communications being my internet service provider if they made their prices more competetive. I get free phone calls and texts on my mobile phone and consequently could manage without my home landline for making and receiving calls. However, I have to pay £20 per month to have a landline just so that I can have broadband internet access. This means that I am effectively paying a total of £37 per month to be able to have broadband internet.

Re: the recent petition; if other providers are able to access the KCOM networks then why aren't they? One can only assume that there pricing policy is outragous and unworkable, henceforth no other ISPs are interested in suppling a service.

I've got a 3 modem, and it's great. I struggled on a mobile usb connection at £45 a month (Orange) for 12 months, because KC won't give me internet. Apparently you need a fabulous credit rating for them to do it, I'm not even allowed outgoing landline calls. 3 didn't have a single problem and I was connected in 3 days. I pay £25 a month for the highest package, and to be honest, unless you're going to be downloading huge stuff or surfing for 24 hours a day it's well worth the money, and it's alot faster than my uncles KC, which has mood swings and goes offline when it feels like it. T mobile won't do mboile internet in Hull, the signal isn't strong enough, so if you're fed up of KC ripping you off, go and have a look at 3 mobile broadband.

We have a hot spot round here which saves me money, next door aint happy????

The Londoner "Have the incentive, leave this Lancashire bit behind you" sorry for all us Lancashire people laughing at you but I guess geography isnt a strong point in your life. We all know Londons in Norfolk we aint fick geezer mate.

Did you know people when you send an email a copy of it goes straight to KC where they have staff checking them, dont know if this is a regular practice with other phone companies, I went to a recruitment agency and was told there could be a job coming up at KC checking emails for swear words ect

Kingston communication are ripping off all the poor telecom users of HULL. When will it stop please start a petition and I will gladly hand it over ot them.

I have also done the petition, welldone to the person who did it. Hope it will open the gates to more competition in Hull for Broadband!!

Thanks YummyHotdog, I will do that petition, hope more will do the same from the Karoo Network!
