KCOM Expands FTTP Broadband Network into 2 New Villages

Macquarie-backed network operator and UK ISP KCOM, which is building a gigabit broadband network across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire in England, has revealed that they’ve now expanded their full fibre (FTTP) service into the previously unannounced villages of Scotter and Brayton.

Both of the new locations are extensions of the operator’s existing build and spotted by some of our readers. For example, Scotter is home to over 3,000 people and sits right below KCOM’s existing deployment in Messingham, while Brayton is home to over 5,300 people and sits immediately next to their larger build in Selby.

However, while the deployment into Scotter makes a lot of sense because it has practically no pre-existing FTTP coverage, Brayton is another matter because the village is already being served by fibre from both Openreach and Gigaclear (i.e. an unusual pick for such a small area, increasing the risk for KCOM).

Customers in the area can expect to pay from £19.99 per month (usually £44.99) for a 100Mbps (30Mbps upload) service on a 24-month term, which rises to £39.99 per month (usually £69.99) for their top 900Mbps plan. Prices increase every March 2025 by CPI + 3.9%, although this policy will soon change as a result of Ofcom’s recent ruling.
