  @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

  @zigzagtoes @Tosh_ag @MikeeP1981 Kcom itself has primary and secondary dns. You actually miss out on locally cached content by not using Kcom’s dns for your resolution.

  @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

  @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.

  @indianasc0nes @PollardRach There's no other line based provider in the area for people to review, that's the issue and a lot of people tend only to leave reviews when disgruntled. If any other provider was enter the area it wouldn't make a difference as they would rent Kcom lines though M3 are laying cable

  BREAKING: Starlink has received another major regulatory win in the UK. 🇬🇧 The UK's communications regulator, Ofcom, has confirmed that Starlink qualifies as a viable broadband alternative under the country's 10 Mbps Broadband USO rules. • Confirmation provided directly to ISPreview • Properties with affordable Starlink access may no longer be eligible for a USO connection from BT or KCOM • Some USO requests have already been declined because Starlink service was available • Ofcom previously said lower-cost Starlink plans reduced the number of underserved premises to around 4,000 The decision further reinforces Starlink's role as a trusted broadband option for rural and hard-to-reach communities.

  🚨🇬🇧 BREAKING: The UK’s communications regulator, Ofcom, has officially recognized Starlink as a suitable broadband option under the country’s 10 Mbps Universal Service Obligation (USO). According to UK broadband outlet ISPreview, homes with access to an affordable Starlink plan may no longer be eligible for a USO broadband connection through BT or KCOM. Reports indicate that some applicants have already had their USO requests denied because Starlink service was available at their address. Earlier this year, Ofcom also noted that the introduction of lower-cost Starlink plans helped reduce the number of UK properties without access to affordable, decent broadband to roughly 4,000. The decision marks another milestone for Starlink, reinforcing its role as a practical connectivity solution for rural and underserved communities across the UK.

  @KCOMhome Why do you need to access my account to explain what the additional £3 is being used for unless I sign up for 2 years with a service that at best is mediocre? Surely you aren’t that inept you can’t give a reason behind the different charges? #avoidingthequestion #kcom
