Kingston Communications (KCom) has responded to yesterdays criticism (original news) over the lack of broadband competition in Hull, which it serves.

The provider was speaking in response to some frustrated words by local Liberal Democrat MEP Diana Wallis and issued the following statement:


To be fair KCom’s broadband packages aren’t as out of sync with the wider market as some reports have claimed (packages) but resolving the problem of competition in such an isolated pocket will not be easy.

It’s hard enough to get new customers onto ISP’s let alone convincing those from a well established provider to swap, especially if you’re unable to offer anything different outside of the wholesale products remit.
