Quote: Bal "They may use fibre optics, but the technology is still effected by external factors and interference which effect speed, sometimes, as I've seen in other installations outside of Yorkshire, these can be severe.

However, my underlying point was, for most people, if you are recieving 10 or mb from Karoo, given that the majority of internet distribution can't really be faster than this anyway, what is the appeal? It just becomes a numbers game, 10mb is a perfectly good connections for all but extremley heavy users, which the vast majority of domestic customers don't fall into, and that includes people that download high-def video, work at home and play online games.'"


Your thinking of something else! They don't offer anything outside of west hull! It's a small local company, the installer part owns the company.

Sure offer internet outside of West Hull. Its available in Hessle and other surrounding areas. Well according to their website anyway.

That said, I wasn't talking about Sure, I was talking about the technology they are using. There are several installations of it around the country.

Well yes Hessle etc but you know what I mean.
They use the same technologies as nextgenus.
They are faster cheaper and unlimited, until/if Karoo fits the fibre they are a very good alternative. Slightly cheaper then nextgenus tho they cap speeds at 25mbps but do not have a daily limit. I would recommend both over Karoo.

If you are getting less than say 3mb, which is what most domestic users would find perfectly adequate (allows video streaming, fast downloading, gaming, Skyping, VPNing etc) and live in one of the very select areas that it covers that standard ADSL can't offer similar speeds at, then you’re right. Like I said in my original post - other than that, waste of time and effort for most people. The savings are marginal unless you get rid of your phone line and install a VOIP phone system, which most people won't want to do or will lack the technical ability to do - Karoo can be got for slightly less than Sure at under £14 per month (plus line rental and £30 install).

Pretty short term investment wise given that we already know it’s going to be superseded. You might be sold, and as a user fair play, but going back to my original statement, it would take a brave investor to back that business model in my opinion.

I haven't got a Scooby Doo what my download speed is as I very rarely download anything and never check. I have 2 lap tops, 3 phones and an X Box using the connection at it's heaviest and apart from the odd drop in connection, which usually returns after a short period, we have no loading issues and Kieran has no gaming issues. Karoo might not be the best around but speaking to others who live outside of Hull, they certainly aren't the worst either.
