  @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.

  @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 🤔

  @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.

  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.

  @KCOMhome appalling connection at HU17 all day, we have a smart wifi booster and that is of no help whatsoever. In our last home we had PlusNet and never had an issue in 10 years, KCOM aren’t performing well tbh, we rely on wifi more than ever as many work from home.

  @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
