Broadband deals in Kingston upon Hull
Did you know that Hull was the first city in the UK where everyone could get full fibre broadband – and this was way back in 2020. This happened when the Yorkshire-based alternative network KCOM laid fibre down every street to reach 200,000 homes.
Hull is unusual in a couple of ways. It boasts the highest amount of reach for full fibre, but unlike other cities who have broadband providers fighting for customers, there is only one company that services the area – KCOM. There’s no Virgin Media option and there isn’t even BT Openreach’sinfrastructure in place, so there’s also no Sky, BT or Vodafone broadband either.
So, whether you live in the city centre or nearby areas like Hessle, Cottingham, or Anlaby, you should be able to get full fibre – but only through KCOM.
