    Felix is this your exit strategy? When Kas community is down and KCom devs are grinding in bunkers to keep the Kas community going? To drag a prominent Kas leader and a top ranking nft project? (Not copy & paste, look a little harder). All by dwindling your slander in an important thread? Seek help and I wish you all the best doing so.

    @KarenJukes2 @andreajenkyns You find out. Educate yourself at the same time instead of proudly displaying your ignorance. They belong to KCOM a PLC and a company that has always run an independent telephone exchange and never part of the then GPO. They were originally cream.

  • blacklab115 Amber (@blacklab115) reported

    @kcom our lightstream is terrible get it sorted please

  • MFIJake Jake James #FBPE #RejoinEU #FBPA (@MFIJake) reported

    @ReformDylan @andreajenkyns Yet more ignorance from Reform activists. Hull has never had traditional red phone boxes. It's always had its own independent telephone company, now KCom. And its phone boxes are cream. BT has never operated in Hull.

    @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.

    @ToonDazza @andreajenkyns KCOM manages the phone network and most broadband internet services in the Hull area. It's a private company. Nothing to do with the Council.

    @KCOMcare For the second day running Kcom has been down a lot in HU7. Why?

  • Patrice_Supply Patrice (@Patrice_Supply) reported

    @pdaantizio @halfironmum We're all EE in this house and the WiFi is KCOM. I don't know if it was Internet based or network based.

  • SteveWithill Steve Withill (@SteveWithill) reported

    KCOM Complaint. I see Im not on my own with my issues with KCOM. Ive escalated to Ofgem and, in the process, Ive found KCOM are not members of CISAS nor ISPA where customers can find resolution. Search the new providers in Hull! #checkyourKCbill @KCOMcare @KCOMhome @WhichUK

  • kkrrbb76 Kris Bean (@kkrrbb76) reported

    @KCOMhome installed 22 Feb. Remedial work reported to kcom. Wall box hanging off wall , cable loose and untidy, entry point hole for cable about 5 times bigger than the cable. Inspection on 14 April to report the install needs starting again. No further communication. Garbage.

  • s14awy Chris Shaw (@s14awy) reported

    @KCOMhome I have to say the service and response times from KCOM are well below standard and what should be expected. Every day this week my Internet is for 5 to 6 hours. Engineer is now due tomorrow. How do I claim compensation /good will refund for the poor service to date please?

  • s14awy Chris Shaw (@s14awy) reported

    @KCOMhome I have now been on hold to KCOM for 40mins and been passed from one team to another trying to get my Internet sorted. Can whoever it may concern be made aware that I am at the end of my tether with the level of support I have received since joining KCOM.

  • neilmpeacock Neil Peacock (@neilmpeacock) reported

    @KCOMcare @KCOMhome another day, yet again Kcom Internet service is down. However, not according to their website. No online customer chat function. Help pages as useful as a chocolate fireguard. Terrible hold music. Maybe I'll get through this time 🤔

  • ChrisJa53783666 Chris Jackson (@ChrisJa53783666) reported

    @KCOMhome As usual, KCOM down last night and again this morning! Do they hate HU7 or what?

  • tramac1964 Traceymac1964 (@tramac1964) reported

    @kappacino @sen_j59 It is. Although we're starting to see other companies start to creep in. Only trouble is the competition is digging up half of Hull in order to install their own infrastructure as KCOM wont share theirs.

  • Jim_Baconnaise Jim Bacon (@Jim_Baconnaise) reported

    Piggy backing in the People’s Republic of Hull is dogshit. Dogshit you’ve stepped in, tried to prise out wi a peg under the sink tap and it’s splashed in your face. WTF is going on, are you throttling non-KCOM connections. We’re obliged to use your network, it’s a joke. @KCOMcare

  • AdmiralAtomicTV Admiral Atomic (@AdmiralAtomicTV) reported

    @KCOMhome @Matty_MyStRo Yeah I received no notification, emailed you a week ago that's still sitting on no response. I had terrible connection 90% less than what I paid for and now for the last 19 hours the internet in my whole town has been offline with no communication. What's up with that kcom

  • ric_ako Ricako (@ric_ako) reported
