broadband in Hull

buddy143

Hi, I am a resident of Hull for nearly 2 years. As far as I understand, there is no other choice for broadband in the Hull area other than the CRAAAAPPPP Kingston communications/karoo.
Can people look at the link

Is this going to work ??
It clearly says that a phone line is not needed.
If this really works, I would jump and grab it.

You need a telephone line for ADSL broadband, there are no other ISPs operating in Hull, so the answer is no.

Just tried it for Hull and the only option is Virgin Media Cable. If you are in a cabled area then you will be able to get service from that.

I've not heard of being able to have other broadband services over KC lines.

Other than that, I suggest you write to your MP.
