  BREAKING: UK telecom regulator Ofcom confirms Starlink is a viable broadband alternative under the UK’s 10 Mbps Broadband USO rules. 🇬🇧 • Ofcom confirmed this directly to UK broadband publication ISPreview. • This means that if affordable Starlink service is available at a property, it may no longer qualify for a USO connection from BT or KCOM. • Some applicants have already been refused a USO connection because Starlink was available. • Back in May, Ofcom said cheaper Starlink plans helped reduce the number of premises without affordable decent broadband to around 4,000. This is good news for Starlink, giving it stronger recognition from the UK regulator as a real broadband solution for remote and underserved areas.

  @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 🤔

  👻 $KASPER Announcement – Delisting from Biconomy 🚨 After careful review, we’ve decided to delist Kasper from Biconomy. Liquidity will be safely withdrawn and injected in coming DEXes as ZEAL or KCom Withdrawals are possible until September 30th, but we strongly advise everyone to withdraw before August 31st. This wasn’t an easy call but it’s the right one for the health of Kasper and the community. Why did we take this step? 1.Without any prior notice, Biconomy launched a high-APR EARN program for Kasper. While flattering, it was concerning since the team was never informed or consulted. 2.Shortly after, new unexpected demands appeared: •More sell orders of Kasper requested. •Additional liquidity requirements not agreed upon before. •Conditions that surprised both our team and our market makers. 3.We’ve noticed similar issues affecting other KRC20 projects What’s Next? The liquidity previously tied to Biconomy will now be redirected into the new DEXes launching in the Kaspa ecosystem within days. This doesn’t means we’ll not be listing in bigger exchanges in the coming months This means $KASPER trading will be freer, fairer, and without restrictions, exactly how DeFi should be. The key Leaving Biconomy is not a setback. We’re moving towards a future where Kasper grows stronger, more independent, and aligned with the vision of open and unrestricted building on Kaspa. Kasino, KasMixer, Proof of Works, DAGScan… the ghost doesn’t stop. This is just the beginning. See you in the trenches The Kasper Team 👻 $KASPER the Ghost of $KAS on #KRC20 & #KRC721

  🚨🇬🇧 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.

  KCOM Complaint. I see Im not on my own with my issues with KCOM. Ive escalated to Ofgem and, in the process, Ive found KCOM are not members of CISAS nor ISPA where customers can find resolution. Search the new providers in Hull! #checkyourKCbill @KCOMcare @KCOMhome @WhichUK

  @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.
