Since then, they&#8217;ve added premises in the following locations to their fibre network: Barrow, Barton, Brayton, Bridlington, Brigg, Broughton, Crowle, Driffield, Epworth, Goole, Goxhill, Haxey, Hibaldstow, Hornsea, Howden, Kirton Lindsey, Market Weighton, Messingham, Nafferton, Pocklington, Scotter, Scawby, Selby, Withernsea.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> The expanded roll-out reflected an extra investment of \u00a362m, although it remains unclear how long it will take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/kcom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">KCOM<\/a> to complete this (the build seems to have been going slowly).<\/div>\n<p>The 2022 expansion programme also included a commitment of \u00a317m to help migrate customers from their old copper line based broadband and phone services to their new full fibre network. At the time, around 14,000 of their customers were still on copper-based products, but this has now changed.<\/p>\n<p>According to today&#8217;s update, some 40% of copper voice customers have already been migrated to fibre voice services, with particular care given to vulnerable customers. We had expected KCOM to complete this process before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>, but it seems to be taking them a bit longer than expected, which is not all that surprising given how many challenges other operators have faced. Extra care often has to be taken to avoid old telecare systems being broken in the process.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Tim Shaw, CEO of KCOM, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur strategy is underpinned by customer growth and service innovation. We obsess about our customers and work hard every day to provide the best service and online experience in the market. We empower our customers and communities to do more with their connectivity and this makes Hull and East Yorkshire a thriving place to live, work and play.<\/p>\n<p>Through our dedication to improving the in-home and at-work experience for our customers, we\u2019re redefining connectivity. The telecoms sector is evolving quickly across the UK: we\u2019ve seen dozens of new entrants, moves towards consolidation and tougher economics. KCOM is well positioned to achieve sustained success for the long-term. Our focus on serving customers, our deeply engrained expertise and commitment to innovation will keep us at the forefront.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The announcement also states that KCOM will &#8220;<em>start upgrades to provide faster download speeds of up the 10GBps<\/em>&#8221; (they actually mean 10Gbps, not GB for Bytes). But we suspect that reference to 10Gbps may relate more to the theoretical capability of their underlying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> network, rather than a specific plan for launching 10Gbps speeds to homes. But we are checking this and will report back.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, we also get a general summary of recent developments, most of which we&#8217;ve already covered before.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>KCOM&#8217;s Recent Developments<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 More than 305,000 premises on KCOM\u2019s network which, for the first time in its history, straddles the Humber estuary across both East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire.
