-
Mihu Nowak (@Mihu_Nowak) reported@KCOMcare Disgusted with poor kcom broadband at HU7 since Wednesday. Paying £55.99 for full fibre 400 and have just 5-25Mbps it’s feels like KCOM gave me middle finger... fat rats
-
hc (@indianasc0nes) reported@steviee_p @PollardRach Had BT in my flat for 2 years never had an issue. Currently got Sky at my partners house and it’s **** compared to BT but infinitely better than Kcom. Never heard a good thing about Kcom from anyone I’ve spoke to. Service is **** and they take weeks to repair issues
-
Andrew Ross (@Andy_Ross1962) reported@Chamaerion @andreajenkyns Hull never had red phone boxes. They were never part of the Post Office or BT. They are owned by KCOM and are usually cream coloured.

🩷𝕵𝖊𝖓𝖓🩷 (@ThePlaanetThief) reportedKcom are absolute dog shite idk how there's so many issues constantly
-
Mike Horsfield (@MikeHorsfield1) reported@peter_levy Hi Peter, just received message from Kcom, 12 hours after internet restored. Not about having no internet, can do other things, it’s about the appalling service and No communication from them. Are they on your show tonight
-
Chris Davis (@CornHoleDavis) reportedThe @The1904Club is a good listen but @bbcburnsy can you get Kcom to come down and sort your internet out? You're massively delayed and your voice keeps dropping out.
-
Scott Bradley (@Bradley1Scott) reported@peter_levy If KCOM let the other companies share the network under PIA agreement like BT do there would be no need for more poles and digging the streets up
-
Anthony Blanchard (@AntBlanchard34) reportedAll I want to do is settle down with a nice movie on Netflix but I’m still waiting to see if I’ll be allowed the internet in my new place because KCOM charges £60 per month and my Appointee might say that it’s a bit too expensive to pay
-
Michael (@MikeeP1981) reported@KCOMhome issues hu89 area net been on n off red light router , saw kcom vans around d earlier but left since went off
-
Bean. 🍇 (@HLJOHNO) reported@TheRealJamieKay Those phone boxes have been there for literal YEARS. We're talking pre-pandemic. Also they have been decorated by KCOM, not the council, because Hull FAMOUSLY has their own phone network/internet provider rather than using BT. Their phone boxes were originally white not red.
-
Jake James #FBPE #RejoinEU #FBPA (@MFIJake) reported@andreajenkyns Firstly, Hull is not in Lincolnshire. So it's not on your patch and is none of your business. Secondly, Hull has never had traditional red phone boxes, having its own independent phone company, KCom. They are cream.
-
Mike Covell (@MikeCovell) reportedKcom signal has dropped 4 times s8nce 9n the phone with tech support. Are new router is due any day.
-
HullCamGuy (@HullCamGuy) reported@angus_young61 The Connexin poles don't have foot pegs on them. This is an old Kcom pole that should have been removed before putting tactile paving down.
-
lanesrA (@lanesrA1sauce) reported@Farris_Ull @KCOMhome Yea all the card Machines are down mate, everyone looses out except the monopoly wich is kcom as usual.

Chris Dent (@dentchris93) reported@wilson_cllr @Connexin This is a KCOM pole. It was there before the raised bus stop and you can check this on Google maps so I would say this is poor from Hull City Council 😳
-
Mark Newton (@ragandboneman) reported@peter_levy Hi Peter, we have had no Internet service all day in HU14. 40 mins with KCOM tech help desk and still no resolution. Help please !
-
Andrew Ross (@Andy_Ross1962) reported@Chamaerion @andreajenkyns Hull never had red phone boxes. They were never part of the Post Office or BT. They are owned by KCOM and are usually cream coloured.
-
hc (@indianasc0nes) reported@steviee_p @PollardRach But whether it’s the only provider or not, if the service is ****, it’s ****. I lived in hull for 3 years and knew tonnes of people on it (50+) and every single person had a bad experience. You could say the same about reviews for every company but none are as bad as Kcom
-
Becky 🐝 (@Beccaa_Booo) reportedSo KCom is down for us at work, so we can’t access the server, phones are down both internal or external, and we’re driving each other batty. Told it will be perhaps an hour 🙃
-
ItsJustJosh (@Craucoes) reported@RomeoOscarEcho @declang05 KCOM are a bad company but one of thee best providers in the UK they’re one of limited company’s that provide Full Fibre across the UK. Issue is staff and management there are shocking and don’t care for customers. When I worked there we had 13 mins to take a call or loose pay :/
-
Andrew Ross (@Andy_Ross1962) reported@ReformDylan @andreajenkyns Apart from Hull never had red boxes, they were usually cream, KCOM was never part of the GPO or BT
-
David Hoggard (@davidhoggard64) reportedSo it would appear I’m not the only one with internet connectivity issues in Hull #kcom #internet #hull
-
Mx. Star (@sonder_star) reportedwhy is my wifi down and kcom said its an era thing yet nobody i know in my area is affected 😭😭😭 pls my datas gonna run out
-
KCOM (@KCOMhome) reported@FrEaK_HullFC Hi Steve, our customer service & technical support teams have been open since 8am today. If you call 01482 602555 you should be able to select the options to get through to an adviser. Apologies you haven't been able to reach us yet. Many Thanks KCOM.
-
KCOM (@KCOMhome) reportedA KCOM spokesperson, said: “We apologise for the service disruption earlier today that affected customers across Hull and parts of East Yorkshire. We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to fix the problem and everything should be returning to normal now.
-
Adam (@Cardinal_Malt) reported@ciaran296 @KCOMhome I know it might be hard to believe (especially after today's outage) when I say this, but as someone who has lived outside of hull, kcom lightstream is actually more reliable and stable then some of the providers of had elsewhere
-
lee opie (@leemelonopie) reportedIs @KCOMhome fixing the problem today?? #kcom down for over 2hrs now! Do we get a refund for all the outages #hull
-
Steve Parker (@steviee_p) reported@indianasc0nes @PollardRach I'm in Hull on Kcom, never had any bother with it whatsoever. If your WiFi is causing you problems then it's likely that your router is at fault. Kcom offer a free service to help with that also
-
ItsJustJosh (@Craucoes) reported@danjsansam @ThreeUK KCOM isn’t down they are just fitting new poles across all of hull to prevent widespread outages, they warned you of this 17 hours ago as it will last between 1-5am
