It appears that KC do have competition in Hull! I was passing through Hull on my Northern travels and noticed a rather significant amount of Ubiquiti FWA equipment on people's houses. I turns out that these are for Connexin Hull, an 'air fibre' style wireless provider, offering up to 60mbps. Website here: http://hull.connexin.co.uk/
It is very easy to assume that Hull has 'a lot' of superfast (FTTP and FTTC) broadband based on the press releases. However, their approach of rolling out primarily time consuming FTTP means that, for the foreseeable future, many shall only have the option of (long line) ADSL2+. This is where Connexin come in, providing a wireless option for those unable to get FTTx.
Connexin has two residential packages: Superfast Lite with 'up to' 10mbps download speeds and 100GB download limit for £18pm with £95 install, and Superfast Max with 'up to' 60mbps and a 250GB download limit for £25 per month with £95 setup.
So how well does it work? Congestion appears to be a very real problem, especially for those on the 60mbps package. Based on this being a shared local access network and one of their central masts seemingly using microwave backhaul itself, is not surprising. https://www.flickr.com/photos/46141405@N07/19287573114
I am not affiliated with Connexin or any of its subsidiaries. Prices correct at time of posting. Other call stuff is included, but this is a broadband review, see Connexin website.
