I think MS3 will be first company to come into the area. They were doing some work around where I work and they said they were going into companies first and then going into homes. I also think I read somewhere about this but not sure. Could be the start of other companies coming into the area

You can go to the sky broadband web page and type your post code in

It will tell you if it's an available option to you

You can also ring them up and ask if it's available,no matter what they say or what the postcode checker says it isn't available.

MS3 won't be directly selling to consumers. There plan from what I've heard is to sell to businesses and then charge BT, Virgin and Sky etc line rental to use there cabling to install broadband etc in home. That second phase will depend if there interested and if a deal can be negotiated for them to come in. Won't happen for few years yet. Been fairly happy with KC in my area for broadband but the price is shocking compared to what others get! I don't know anyone that will stay with KC if sky etc come in. I know it's good to support your local company and that but there a joke with prices!

Theres also Sure Broadband as well for the West Hull area (soon to be expanded) on www.surebroadband.net Been with them a year and a half now with pretty decent speeds. And no landline needed as well!

If you're paying for full sky and not getting it, ring them and just keep bugging them, you'll either get what you're paying for or get a few quid knocked off. They're a lot like mobile phone companies in that they're making that much money off everyone they'll knock a few quid off without much argument for the 10% of customers willing to ring and ask.

Besty, if your desperate for a wireless router I have (at least) 3 old Netgear DG834G Wireless routeres not doing much...
1 Original v1 and 2 version 2 pluses (one AOL/One SKY - both have been flashed with Standard firmware so are both Generic)

i used to work for orange broadband who did a landline and internet package but you had to have a bt line.
which no one in hull has because kc wont sell up to bt although they have had some very nice offers from bt. the fact is if we are lucky enough to live in hull lol we will have to pay alot more for sky and be robbed by kc for a very slow internet and high call package. my advice for sky would be to ring up and say your not happy paying that amount and say you are going to cancel they will quite happily give you a deal were you get half price for 6 months or free for 3 months you will be surprised how many people do this. the people who dont are losing out. and as for kc if you can go without a landline then id recommend sure broadband fast speeds and unlimited usage for around £20 a month.

Just curious as to why you accuse KC of robbery but will happily have 3 months free from Sky - which I think robs me cos I am paying for mine. Just asking like
