Kingston: nobody else wants to provide broadband round here

Kane

Go for it.

I think it would be extremely interested for other providers to come into competition within the Hull area. I think it would give the residents of Hull an unwelcome insight into just how much 'better' the ISPs are that they can't sign up for.

IE, hour-long waiting times to get through to consultants, 6-week time periods between ringing up for the service and getting it activated (as opposed to Karoo's 6 working days), £40 line reconnection charged (as opposed to BT's £120+ charge) free activation (as opposed to Virgin Media's £25), and out-of-area technical support (as opposed to Hull's local technical advisors who are open till 10pm every night).

I say go for it, as they say, give em' what they (think) they want.
