  @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.

  🚨🇬🇧 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 Terrible service from KCOM, one of the most expensive providers in the Country and we are stuck with them in Hull. I bet we won't even be compensated for this mess, been off all day now and it's regularly dropping out.

  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

  @steviee_p @PollardRach Had BT in my flat for 2 years never had an issue. Currently got Sky at my partners house and it’s **** compared to BT but infinitely better than Kcom. Never heard a good thing about Kcom from anyone I’ve spoke to. Service is **** and they take weeks to repair issues

  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
