KCOM Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • alanacct Alan Hemingway (@alanacct) reported

    @INDEPENDENT_MG @littlearfer You would have thought they could have come to some agreement to share the underground space. KCOM seem very bad at not facilitating help to other suppliers

  • EnfieldTiger James Lockwood (@EnfieldTiger) reported

    @lucyk512 To get the data to your local mast, the mobile networks will use a line to the mast. In the rest of the country there's a choice of providers. In Hull there's KCom. So if it's a core problem with KCom, that probably explains the reason

  • Chris_P_Green Chris Green (@Chris_P_Green) reported

    @angus_young61 Take a walk down Cranbrook Avenue towards Greenwood Avenue you have KCOM poles with interconnecting wires one side with Connexion Poles on the other, it's unbelievable and totally unappealing and once their wires go up Cranbrook Avenue will look ridiculous. @DianaJohnsonMP

  • dentchris93 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 😳

  • itisalex_ Robbo ▪️🔸🇬🇧🇹🇷 (@itisalex_) reported

    @KCOMhome Internet is down for those Hull citizens wondering 💩 #KCOM

  • BenGardner44 Ben (@BenGardner44) reported

    You’re pathetic KCOM! Can’t pick up my sons prescription now because internet is down so if he gets worse it’s on you! @KCOMhome

  • Vennie2691 Vennie (@Vennie2691) reported

    @KCOMhome what is the matter with KCOM AGAIN? MY 200 / 75 MBS service is SO slow I can't even run a speed test!

  • leemelonopie lee opie (@leemelonopie) reported

    Is @KCOMhome fixing the problem today?? #kcom down for over 2hrs now! Do we get a refund for all the outages #hull

  • jameskwiths James 🎗 (@jameskwiths) reported

    Its ridiculous that @KCOMcare @KCOMhome have not provided any updates and we are having to hear from people online that have rung them that it is expected to be down for a couple days. #KCOM

  • RomeoOscarEcho Tony Roe P/F 🐯 (@RomeoOscarEcho) reported

    @PhilGraham19 Thanks Phil. We're going to leave this kcom shyte Internet service.

  • RazzaB3 Ryan Beeley (@RazzaB3) reported

    @KCOMhome is kcom down can't get online and same for some friends around east hull

  • JonKirby1974 Jon Kirby (@JonKirby1974) reported

    How much of hull is affected by the kcom being down?

  • HullCamGuy 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.

  • tehreedy Sam Reed (@tehreedy) reported

    Hmm @KCOMhome you seem to have members of staff coming down my street telling lies. I’ve just had an argument with someone telling me I haven’t got fibre, but I definitely know I have. It may not be KCOM fibre, but it is Openreach fibre. This feels very misleading to customers

  • ExileAryui Daniel Rose (@ExileAryui) reported

    @JonKirby1974 The issue is in any other city it wouldn’t effect the entire infrastructure such as retail or hospitality but most companies are forced to use kcom and now they are no doubt losing custom and therefor money, it’s a sham… and needs addressing.

  • jongibbins Jeanflambé 🇪🇺 (@jongibbins) reported

    Evidently KCOM are having issues today. Therefore all internet access is down. Home and also businesses. I can't even buy milk from the Co-op as they are also affected. Maybe having a monopoly over such a large area isn't such a good idea after all ...

  • jill_hb JillHB (@jill_hb) reported

    @KCOMhome @houdsmum Hi Alyson, I’ve had exactly the same issue today. KCOM advised there’s an issue with the letter not including details of phone bolt-on package. Hope this helps.

  • dogster24 mark dawson (@dogster24) reported from City of Kingston upon Hull, England

    @bbcburnsy kcom didn't do too well in Withernsea with their fibre install , chaos most of the time. There was damage to other services and the paths are worse now than they ever was and for what ? We had plenty of choice off the open reach network ...

  • MikeeP1981 Michael (@MikeeP1981) reported

    Is @KCOMhome @KCOMcare down? Red light flashing on box #kcom #karoo

  • vixielou1972 VixieP #nhsblueheart💙🇺🇦 (@vixielou1972) reported

    @bt_uk No, we moved to Hull so we can now only get @kcom but we desperately want BT to bring a service to Hull that way we could actually get a whole weeks worth of internet. I don’t even bother switching Wi-Fi on my @ee phone I just use my data 🙄

  • BurnbyPaula Paula Burnby (@BurnbyPaula) reported

    @jobrady68 @KCOMhome Appalling service from Kcom

  • HullMichelle75 MotherOfFestiveDragons 🐝👩🏼‍🎓🇪🇺🦖 (@HullMichelle75) reported

    @JanPurling Oh Jan 😔 Hope you feel better soon. Someone tweeted about KCOM earlier and said it’s going to be down a couple of days 😯 x

  • Craucoes 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 :/

  • Craucoes ItsJustJosh (@Craucoes) reported

    @JellyTotPixel @HullMichelle75 @JanPurling From my experience working with the engineering team across KCOM yes it can take upto two weeks they aren’t in no hurry the HU8 outage at the end of last year took that long but most only take 2-3 days

  • DaGiNGeR42 DaGiNGeR42 🎗🇹🇷 (@DaGiNGeR42) reported

    @HULLCITYREFRESH I’d actually say KC sounds the worst out of KC KCOM and MKM. Maybe each name grew on me so it sounds better to me. I just think saying “we’re at the MKM on Saturday” has a nice ring to it

  • flibberdigibert bingbong (@flibberdigibert) reported

    @KCOM as large areas of Hull are without internet, at what point do consider your customers? Give us an update and likely timeframe. There are businesses and customers working from home. Don't treat us like crap cos we will walk.

  • mrhuggy MrHuggy (@mrhuggy) reported

    @KCLightstream @KCOMhome Is there any issues with the network as the internet connection is down for me here in Bilton.

  • davy_lad Dave Evans (@davy_lad) reported

    @leemelonopie @KCOMhome It's not our equipment, it is kcom not supplying the service we are paying for

  • MikeeP1981 Michael (@MikeeP1981) reported

    Don’t realise how much doesn’t work these days when internet goes down Ring doorbell Sky Q Streaming Alexa Lights and Plugs Heating Not ideal when #Disabled and rely on it …. Been over 4 hours #Kcom

  • Jakewoolford01 Jake woolford (@Jakewoolford01) reported

    @kcom might just be the worst Wifi provider ever
