My Shiny New Internets

m3csl2004 · 10 Aug 2011 at 21:39

Fibre delivered over wireless for £25 a month - ping is normally ~13ms (other users online).

After years of 3Mb adsl I'm a happy badger.

What isp is that with? never heard of kcom

Evoss · 11 Aug 2011 at 19:17

Nearly as good as mine

batfink · 11 Aug 2011 at 19:19

Judging by location of Hull, I'm guessing Kingston Communications?

wish they would bring wifi fiber to the North East. Them speeds are whopping!

But, As good as that is. What benefit does it give the average joe at home.

I can fully understand it for businesses and people who work from home. But I am meaning the normal house that generally surfs the internet and perhaps plays a on line game now and then.

Not knocking it. Just curious of the advantages.

For me it would be the wifi factor outside of the home if it was introduced with wifi masts. The speed is for videos like youtube/bbc iplayer.

@OP does it have a monthly GB cap at all?

Nearly as good as mine, doesn't help when your sister renders 5 videos at 720p at the same time whilst playing online flash games

This is what my phone gets.

Living in the country side sucks, badly.

*edit* just realised I'm literally 100x slower than the OP :-/

nate922 · 12 Aug 2011 at 12:34

25MB upload? that's awesome!

Can you please share your experiences with KCOM?

Nymins · 12 Aug 2011 at 12:36

Whats the usage cap like?

Steve_bullockuk · 12 Aug 2011 at 12:47

Awesome speeds for a wifi connection.

Im in a similar position to the OP. I recently went from a 0.8meg to a 40meg connection. Loving it

nate922 · 12 Aug 2011 at 13:07

This is interesting. Perhaps KCOM is only operating in Maindenhead?

I did a google and couldn't mind much.

Kcom = Kingston Communications.

They are based only in Hull iirc. They own all the infrastructure there in an attempt to give 2 fingers up to BT.
