  @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.

  @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.

  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

  @jordantyson92 @_kirst99 Everyone switching to tethering their phones for data with KCOM being down is strangling the networks. Spoke with a Three rep via DM massive spike in demand.

  @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

  @Tosh_ag @MikeeP1981 It's always worth having a secondary dns. Most of the time I don't realise kcom is down, cos of a back up dns I entered years ago. Anyhoos, main router settings, look for gateway settings, and as secondary put googles (8.8.8.8) or search net for others, in primary put kcoms....

  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

  @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.

  @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.
