Small Providers in Hull

So MS3 Networks is a seemingly open network provider that’s been laying it’s cables all over Hull and giving the people another fixed line option after being stuck with KCOM for years.

I was thinking about helping my family try out, but I’m honestly not sure whether I trust small businesses. They never seem to quite grasp service delivery. Currently I manage a few family members internet and they’re using 4G/5G service from Three. It’s not very fast but it’s very well priced for low users - compared to KCOM that’s about 40/quid/month for reasonable speeds.

MS3 have partnered with a number of tiny ISPs for their service - such as Hull Fibre, Zybre, Infinics, Octoplus…. some of them have okay-ish pricing but I’m running into the dilemma of knowing that it’s a tiny business, they probably aren’t great at service and if there is an issue when it comes to money, it will be an issue compared to larger providers who will just discount/refund to put things right.

Anyone have any experience?
 
How are your family members still finding the Three Home Broadband service? I’m using it in HU8 and find upload quite poor alot of the time - unfortunately I’m just out of sight of their new mast thats close to me!

In terms of MS3, I’ve used their direct business products when working in town and I’ve been waiting for their consumer network to be built out, in fact, I got the leaflet today to day work is starting on my street! Buzzing was an understatement.

I’ve moved 2 good friends over to Infinics and they’re awaiting installation. They’re saving literally over half of their KCOM bill by moving so it’s a no-brainer. Infinics as a business is an MSP which have good service in that respect, which is who I’ll be picking once the fibre is laid near me.

I do think KCOMs reign is coming to an end and I genuinely can’t wait.
 
One is in HU4 area are using the the 4G one, the speeds are about 50ish. It’s not very impressive but they just use general browsing and Netflix, they never have an issue.

Over in HU5 it’s another story though as the signal is really poor. They moved to the 5G one about 6 months ago and despite having only one bar, they get around 80ish down though upload speed is extremely poor because it relies on their 4G.

Both of them have MS3 laid now but it’ll just be waiting for their contract to end before moving them over, I saw one of the providers had £20 for 100mbps which is more than enough for them.

Be interesting if anyone can provide any info/feedback etc. Not in my area at the minute but I'd be happy to know how other people have found other providers

They’re currently building on the next street, I can’t imagine it’ll be too long. Either way I’ll report back with how the service is.
 
Hey TTJJ,

Is MS3 available for you now? It’s finally been made active near me and I’ve signed up to service from Infinics, gigabit for £30!

Install date is Friday and I’m absolutely buzzing.
